After grabbing take out dinner, I got an incredible need to grab something sweet. I didn't want to drive far, so I stopped at Tropicana. This bakery has gotten quite a make over from it's days as Tropical. I figured I could grab a guava and cream cheese pastry to satisfy my sweet tooth. Geez,. it was over $3- for that pastry. Don't get me wrong, I'll pay for something good but it was a little disappointing. I also got a cream cheese pastry and a pumpkin pie pastry. The guava and cream cheese could have had a lot more filling. Same went for the cream cheese one. That one was more dough than filling. The pumpkin pie tart looking one was okay but not worth $5- in my book. I wish the new owner a...
Been here a few times and there is always something wrong with our order but the staff is generally good. Today I ordered a Cafe Cubano (espresso) along with a Piña colada smoothie, and the dish Ropa vieja with congri and sweet plantains. However I gotwhite rice with a side of black beans and fried yuca in a garlic sauce. Not what I asked for but they were quite busy so I wentwith it. My wife ordered a steak sandwich but instead received a shredded beef sandwich (Vaca frita) which the server caughtand later corrected which was a first. I didn't ask for my order to be corrected because I figured I'd try something new. Fordesert we ordered the guava cheese pastry to go. It's always a delicious...
Do you love some good Cuban food? Come give them a try. I wish we had stayed to try some of their food but we bought our pastries and dessert to go. Awesome variety, Everything looks fresh, there?s a line but everyone seems to be working hard to keep it moving quickly. My server was Cuban and super nice. I didn?t like the fact that the pastries were more expensive than that other Cuban place, I probably got half the bread for the same amount of money but everything was very good.
Wow, my first Cuban restaurant experience! What a treat, excellent service w a smile. We tried Ox tail which is a delicious meal w a tasty broth a tasty pork dish w onions similar to Carnitas. The coffee shots were also tasty, no sugar needed as you get acomplimentary slice of sweet bread. Both plates came w black beans rice, then a side of plantains (fried banana). We also tooksome pastries home from their wonderful bakery because, well it is so FRESH delicious.

Tropicana is something special. The empanadas are delicious. The spicy chickens are delicious and well seasoned. Beef emanadas are served warm with a fluffy crust. You also have a wonderful selection of cakes and pastries. The Dine menu is also great. The turkey club is made on fresh baked cubic bread with a special kick of roasted paprika to a classic sandwich.
My spouse loves this place, but for me it's average. I'm never excited to go here when he proposes it. I love Cuban cuisine, but and I have a favorite spot on Sunset Blvd, so this is not the problem. Without my spouse, I wouldn't be dining here alone. Some of the servers don't speak English just fyi. No hate of me.
The food and the pastries are delicious. Ropa vieja plate is so flavorful from the meat to the beans. Absolutely enjoyed my first visit. Reasonable prices, I don't think is expensive as commented by others. Friendly staff and really nice decor. Very unique restaurant you can't compare it to Portos.
I loved this place. Best bakery and the best hot chocolate! I visited this bakery several times. The staff is friendly, the place appears clean, and the order is ready at a fair time. Will definitely return and recommend it to all who want hot and delicious pastries.

I just came from here 19:07 4/27/2022 I was told that we can't sit and have coffee and dessert Cus is just for Almuerzos, which makes no sense at all. We come here regularly, but now we don't do it anymore. Porto is.
If you are dominican and looking for a close expirience to dominican food, I recommend this place! AMAZING SERVICE and great portions!
