El Tropico Cuban Cuisine

Really great place for breakfast and lunch! Their pastries are awesome which means they do sell out by like 11:30am-12pm. Nonetheless the food is really great Cuban food even though it is owned and operated by Argentinians, which threw me off at first but the food speaks for itself. Casual dinning place is always filled (which if you ask me is a true testament to that people cant get enough). Went there once for lunch based off a peers recommendation and i have been going back since. Fast pace dinner type feel that wont disappoint.

The food here is good! The plates are large so you may want to share and the service is average but on the good side. I didn’t give it 5 stars because it’s not outstanding in any way, but we order from here every so often so we keep coming back. The vaca frita is my family’s favorite, if you’ve never tried it. Definitely give it a shot!

Absolutely the best Cuban food in town. Excellent service, good prices, high quality food. Try it for yourself. You will love it.

Sundays at El Tropico are slowly becoming a tradition. The service is always pleasant, food is satisfying in terms of filling and taste. Breakfast is the best here, with toast as a side to options such as waffles, eggs, fries, pancakes, bacon, sausage and many other delectable items.

The cuban food here was pretty good. And surprisingly, the food was not salty like we’re used to in the ny area which was a pleasant change. We ordered the mariquitas, the cubano sandwich, the miami sandwich, steal sandwich, and the kids chicken tenders. Well, the server forgot to put in the steak sandwich so cant comment on that so will comment on the others.
First, they gave garlic bread that was awesome. Who doesnt love garlic bread? The mariquitas and mojo dipping sauce was good. Lightly salted chips with a slightly citrusy garlic sauce was a nice starter. The kids chicken tenders were eh. Dont think the oil was hot enough because the batter was soggy and feel right off. Fries were decent but inconsistent between soggy and crispy. As for the cubano sandwich, very big and was delicious. I dipped it in the mojo sauce to give it more of a zing which made it better. The miami sandwich was similar to a cubano but its a turkey, bacon, ham sandwich. Dont get the mustard and pickle like the cubano which I think would’ve made the sandwich so much better so ask for mustard.
But keep in mind the sandwiches are big so come hungry. Overall, this place is good and if you want to avoid the rush, come around 2 pm…

I really liked my dining experience at El Tropico Restaurant. The waiter was very friendly, and did a good job of curating the menu. I ordered the Café Cubano. The Cuban Coffee was very good. I also ordered the Cubano Sandwich (Standard Cuban Sandwich). It was delicious and well made. I finished off the meal with Tres Leches Cake. It was really good. The restaurant was clean and had a nice appearance.

Food is delicious, definitely not the healthy option, but delicious. Don’t try to put any requests or comments if you order on seamless. They don’t read or honor anything.

Worst service restaurant I can say I’ve had in a long time. Don’t get that you got and less you want to scare Dracula’s away for the rest your life since they bathed in garlic. Though if you want to get hammered you should come here because they overpour three times the amount. My suggestion is don’t come here unless the apocalypse hits and even if that take a second guess. Last but not least the food is overpriced.

We found this place by accident on a Saturday evening. What a find. Food is consistently good. But most important the LIVE Cuban band playing latin favorites and standards is exceptional. No cover no extra just great music good food in a warm family atmosphere. We have brought family on several occasions and EVERYONE still talks about the evening. SALUD! SALUD! SALUD.

Vacation trip with friends. This place was recommended by the concierge at our hotel. We all highly recommend for lunch. I wish I had time to try dinner. Empanadas were on point. Plantains both green and sweet were delicious. Service was good also.

Si quieren comer vegetales congelados, vengan aqui! Peor restaurant cubano de Miami! El manager al darle la queja. Sin mucha paciencia dijo: «quiere q le resuelva ooooo … (espacio descortez) o le retiro? Vegetales bañados en grasa. No conocen el termino sauté!

If you are near in this area, then you should know how great it is to eat here.
Place — Extremely well cleaned, you can see a lot of good things in their dining area. The comfort rooms are well maintained.
Service — very good. I would give 5 star for their service, but there are sometime that their service is bad. Good thing there’s time that they really excell on the service.
Food — was good. Will usually come here just for their food.

I frequent this place a lot. This time I stopped by the window/​coffee area to place my order. There was only one lady working the window, so she was very busy. I ordered the special of the day; chicken churrasco with white rice and sweet plantains. I also ordered a chicken soup. The chicken was a bit dry and lack the basic Latin flavors, but it was definitely earable. I won’t order that again for sure.
The staff looked happy and that turned into good customer service. Great location no doubt. I’ll be back.

Minute we walked in it took us 15 minutes to order get drinks then 10 minutes later we had our food. They were extremely helpful with deciding what we want and took our order no problem. I’m extremely impressed! And would come here again!

The mood at this restaurant definitely sets the scene for your typical Cuban Miami style restaurant. At different times, which I do not know of, they do have live music that is sure to be enjoyable with an area to dance if you are up for it and in the mood to shake it down! The gentleman that was taking care of us was Cuban as am I which made me very comfortable while placing my order, etc. each of my family members ordered a different item off of the money and then I did. We all tried of each other’s dishes. I think the food was fairly good but it just turns out that my dish was not exactly what I expected. I ordered the ropa vieja and for my liking it just was not up to par. I’ve been to this spot many times and I would come again but just not order this particular dish. I would prefer to go with picadillo or vaca frita. Mmmm

I’m here now actually. Seated right away. Nice waitress approached me as I sat at the counter. I had the chicken Pollo which was excellent.
I will come again.

I order delivery twise from here already… first time they got my order wrong I gave it a second chance now after a few months… I’ve got what I ordered but the meat was horrible it was hard and tested old. The only think I liked was the Arroz con leche. I don’t think I’m eating from here ever again… specially after reading this reviews about roaches in the restaurant…(I should of read this reviews before eating from this place)

Been living a few minutes from here for years — and only recently discovered this place for breakfast.
Perfect for the mornings you wake up craving overly buttered, super (not at all) healthy toast, and café con leche.
It’s hard to find good Cuban on this side of town — so adding to my list.

This is a Family place with exceptional friendly and prompt service. I don’t get to this part of the country often but this place is «real deal» Cuban food of very high quality and exceptional flavor. Please try this place I think you will find it as enjoyable as I did.

The girls in the café are fantastic. I come often for breakfast. Simple fast and the service is good. Try the «steak and eggs»
The price is very good!!!

I have been there for breakfast a couple of times and I was never disappointed. Excellent staff. Great for a quick bite in the morning. Try waffles or eggs with the Cuban bread. Yum! :)

muy mala atencion, mal servicio, el manager un grosero, una experiencia muy mala, y encima lleno de cucarachas
