Very casual little spot with very friendly service and great Cuban food. One of the best Cuban sandwiches in town. Fun cocktails and reasonable prices

My partner and I stopped by for a quick dinner before a concert. My partner, who lived in Cuba for much of his life, recalled how the meal (the congri in specific), reminded him of home cooked meals with his grandmother. Melissa and Emma both waited on us and were friendly. We even got to try their new pumpkin flan which was just sweet enough! Definitely recommend a stop here

Awesome food, cool vibe, and super friendly and fast service! I really like the decorations all around the restaurant. The food was awesome and the portions were plenty for the price! Drink menu had lots of options and the margarita and caiparinha were both amazing!! Absolutely will be coming back here for some more awesome Cuban food.

When I’m craving lechón asado, Tropicana is my go-to. Their version is consistently tender, juicy, and packed with that garlicky mojo flavor that tastes like home. It never misses.

This time I ordered delivery and added pollo frito too—crispy, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. No grease overload, just pure comfort food goodness.

Everything arrived hot, fresh, and well-packed—no spills, no soggy sides. Just delicious Cuban food right to my doorstep.

If you’re craving Cuban classics, this spot is always worth it.

Maria's second account

The food is top 1, and the staff were really kind and servicial.
If I can recommend any restaurant with Hispanic food on Austin, this is it.
