El Tropico Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Fantastic service, very tasty food. Plenty to pick from. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.
Good service and Very Tasty sandwiches. My favorite was the Miami and my husband enjoyed the Cuban. Raphael made us some excellent sangria. We enjoyed it so much we came back the next day. The bacon on the Miami was crispy and complemented the pork on the Miami. I am not a connoisseur of Cuban food, but we really enjoyed the food. It was a great way to take our minds off having to evacuate for Milton.
authentic Cuban food!! Plus mango juice hit the spot!! Came midday so fairly quiet but served quickly. Will come back again when in Miami! Food was flavorful and so very delicious and price was reasonable.
Friendly and fabulous food. Love it. I highly recommend it for an excellent Cuban style lunch.
