I had the Pollo Tropico and it was incredible. Literally the tastiest chicken I’ve ever had. Smashed on the grill, seasoned well, incredibly crispy and flavorful. The rice with black beans was nicely salted, and a great counterpoint to the chicken.
Completely full but not overstuffed, and thinking of coming back for dinner.

My boyfriend ordered the chicken churrasco, and he said the dressing was amazing and tasted a bit different from other cuban restaurants. Mine was garlic shrimp entree but it wasn’t that great to be honest, and just 5 or 6 small shrimp.
Server was really nice.

Review of El Tropico Restaurant – 7930 NW 36th St, Doral, FL
I take great pleasure in writing positive reviews when service and quality align with expectations. Unfortunately, this experience did not merit one.
We placed a pickup order for two sandwiches from El Tropico Restaurant. Upon returning to our office and opening one of the boxes, we discovered that while the sandwich appeared properly assembled on top, both sides of the bread were severely burnt underneath—an issue clearly visible upon flipping it over.
This wasn’t a minor oversight. It felt like a deliberate choice, either assuming the customer wouldn’t notice until it was too late, or reflecting a lack of attention to detail. In either case, it’s unacceptable.
I drove back to the restaurant to return the sandwich and request a refund. The process was disorganized, and while the refund was eventually issued, the absence of a basic courtesy—no apology, no acknowledgment of the mistake—was the most disappointing part of the experience.
Mistakes happen. What defines a business is how it responds. A simple “we’re sorry” or “thank you for bringing this to our attention” would have gone a long way. Instead, the lack of accountability and customer care ensured that this will be our last visit.
El Tropico has not only lost a customer, but earned a regrettable review.

My husband and I are visiting from Atlanta. We walked over to El Tropico, from our hotel, and were immediately drawn in by the line of people standing at the take-out window.
We dined in. We ordered Pallamillo Steak with Rice + Black Beans + Toasted Bread and the Cuban Medionoche Sandwich.
Everything was freshly prepared and tasted fantastic…full of flavor. The prices were very reasonable and the service was courteous and punctual/attentive.
We highly recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant is not worth it visiting, the substandard service is horrible, on Saturday February 14 there were only one waitress for the entire restaurant. I made a pick up call while driving and l got there without making the order because the only working person was not able to take my order. Every inside order takes about 20 minutes waiting time.

This is my first Cuban Sandwich..
We ordered the Cuban, 2 Tropicana, and a steak sandwich.
Good but not great..
When I think of a Cuban Sandwich I think of the movie Chef with Jon Favour.
The fries where undercooked, and cold like cafeteria lunch room warm.
If you’re local this is and option for sure.
You will get a good sandwich..
But don’t travel for this food nothing special here.
Beer was ice cold came with lime.
So that’s a big plus.
Very clean bathrooms that says alot this is a clean place.
But nothing that we ordered made me want to savor the moment.
Or look forward to going back.
Good but not great.

We may have found our new favorite! We were made to feel so welcome, & the food was AMAZING! My husband had the Palomilla steak with moros & yucca, & I had the grilled chicken & onions with moros & sweet plantains. Both were nothing short of AMAZING! Thank you for a great meal, we WILL be back when we are in town!
