My last visit to El Tropico was a fantastic experience! The Cuban cuisine was full of authentic flavor, and every dish was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent very attentive and friendly from start to finish. And let me tell you, the coffee was off the hook rich, bold, and just what I needed to top off the meal. El Tropico definitely left a great impression. I’ll absolutely be coming back!

My dining experience at El Tropico Cuban Cuisine Restaurant was truly exceptional thanks to the outstanding service of Omar and Osmani. From the moment we walked in, the staff created a welcoming atmosphere. Omar was incredibly knowledgeable, offering fantastic recommendations from the menu. He went above and beyond, ensuring every need was met. At the end of the dinner we also ordered desert and Omar brought with a beautiful touch I highly recommend this restaurant for a top-notch dining experience. Excellent Service!!!!

Despite the diverse options in the area, I chose to come back, three times, over the course of my five-day visit, and tried breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I enjoyed the quality of the meals. There is dedication in each meal, from the smallest food item to the most elaborate. It was wonderful to have home-cooked meals while feeling like I am out. I hope to visit again, Tropico!
