REVIEWS OF El Tropico Restaurant IN Florida

Karla Taboada

Great service and authentic cuban food. The service ladies were very friendly and professional. Loved having lunch here. Definitely coming back. Gracias.

Cheryl Toro

Horrible food and service, was much better a few years ago.. The rice was hard, no tartar sauce for fish, steak sandwich was so tough I couldn't bite through it, I then got a pork sandwich and the pork was the worst Mojo pork I ever had.. Very disgusted and nauseous after our experience there...

Mercy Cabrera

The Chicken soup was awsome.

Angel Chang

Yummy~ And staffs very nice❤️

Melanie Morales

Awesome

Ailyn Naranjo

Worst place ever! Don't go there, neither ask for delivery!! I called and they arrived with the food one hour later, and after that missing a plate. I called for a second time, and it took one more hour to arrive, delivery guy left the food without tray or bag in the front door without even calling to let me know. Worst service ever, they do not respect the clients.

Jesus Aleman

Clean, nice and prompt service. Food is OK. Prices are good!

We were traveling for the government and wanted some Cuban food. We can't get it where we live. The food was great and the service was excellent. Our waitress was sweet and accommodating. I wanted to take her home with me she was so sweet. I am coming back next time I'm in Miami again.

Open restaurant in the middle of remodeling. Construction activities around your table.

Felix santana

It was remodeled. Now looks nice

Zulma Grau

Good food, not even the customer service, overall the external caffeteria

Grace Lescano

We went to el Tropico #1 today and is was excellent, food and service. The owner, Alfonsina and the waitress Sahilly were awesome. Definitely will go again and recommend to friends.

Belle Bruno

Today’s service doesn’t even deserve a star. What’s going on!? First you have excellent customer service and then screw it up in no time. Does your customer service depend on your mood?! The pan con bistec was worse than rough! My coworkers sandwich was as if she was eating a piece of leather! The sandwiches had no seasoning! Not the pork, steak, or the Cuban. Come on guys! Someone needs to keep watch and do better than this. I’m sorry, I can no longer refer anyone else here. What a waste today...

Luis Puig

Friendly staff, good service! Excellent coffee!

Martha Moreira

Great Cuban food! Cheap. Can't wait to try the Sunday brunch!

Gabriela Santander

If you want to enjoy delicious Cuban food and be served by wonderful people like Rosie, this is the place! First time coming here and feeling so happy and joyful about that. Enjoying a nice breakfast with my friend while having the best attention one could have. They customize your food as you want it and have the best typical Cuban breakfast “El Tropico” give it a shot, you won’t regret :)

Johanne CLERIE

The Seabass was incredible! Service was Great!

john cuervo

Food is delicious, they are very polite , I really enjoy the food at this place. They could improved customer service, they need to come more often to the table when people are sitting outside. Prices are reasonable. I really recommend this place in Doral.

Milton Santos

Ok

Albert Garcia

Not bad. Not awesome but ok.

Reinaldo Acosta

This place specializes in Cuban food and has typical dishes from other Latin American countries (Colombia and Venezuela among others). Its environment resembles one of those coffee shops that you would find in any Spanish-speaking country in the American continent. You can eat at the bar, at their indoor tables or at the external window, where they offer coffee, empanadas and other foods eaten with your hands. The portions are large and homemade flavored, good option for a quick lunch at a reasonable price.

Juan Fernando Mestre

Fast and great Cuban coffee

Mahwish Aurangzeb

Good food. Bit noisy at lunch time. Friendly staff

I ordered lunch from here a few days ago, great food but the wait time for a delivery is ridiculous. I have been waiting for my breakfast for over an hour and the same thing happened with my lunch, i dont work that far from the restaurant. im not sure the quality of food is worth the wait.

sara ycaza

Very good brunch

Kayak Engineer

Place has great food and service. Eat here about every 2 months and always enjoy it. Parking is not so good. Small amount of spaces with little room is only negative. However, well worth it.

renaissance doral

Great food. The breakfast cheese omelette is huge and tasty very well done. Good service and very clean place

Nelson Valdes

Very good palomilla steak & inexpensive.

Alvaro Plazas

This place is very nice. Their customer service is really bad. Their pastries need some work and they dont seem take pride on their food. Work on treating your customers better and put some love in your food.

Yusnesky Echemendia

Not enough parking and food is ok.

Ras BB

One of few places left that serve the authentic Miami sandwich. If you don't know what it is then come have one at el Tropico.

Chantelle Nelson

IF YOU VALUE YOUR RESPECT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE! The employees are always rude, and if they don't personally know you, they won't give you excellent customer service. On 2 occasions I've had my food thrown to me, while others would have theirs handed to them. Not to mention, they ALWAYS make my food incorrectly, and aren't consistent with what come with a combo and what doesn't. I have to wait 5 minutes just to be acknowledged, and they have no sense of urgency when preparing my food. Calling to try and speak with the manager was a reach, and it failed because after waiting 8 mins for someone to get back on the phone, I was placed on hold again for another 5 min until I hung up. I hate to play the race card, but my hand is definitely being forced when I see others Hispanics receive better service than I do. There needs to be training on how to treat every customer the Same, with courtesy and expedited service.

Guillermo Guzman

Great Cuban cuisine! Lechon asado is my favorite!

Ofelia Ruiz

Fast service and good food .

ryan rost

The service is slow but the food is very Latin and good coming from a Latin background. Parking gets a bit complex but most of the time there is parking.

Robin Linden

Delicious food.

Mayra Garcia

Good food nice clean place to eat. Visit often since it is close to work. Just make sure to ask for the bill when you receive the food. Saves time. I ordered Carne con papas, arroz, plátanos maduros y una ensalada. It’s was so good and I also ordered a natural lemonade. The restaurant was recently remodeled and it looks amazing.

Frank Abalo

Food is good, but a bit pricey. Very good service, by the staff.
