I tried to tell her what my what it was and I thought I got across too hot. What my order was, but they delivered the wrong order to me. And told me to that's what I order, but I did not. I just ordered four things from now. But since I didn't talk Spanish, they sent me the warm order. And they didn't want to replace it. So this is a very bad place to order from.If you don't speak spanish very, very bad service. This place is very bad. I suggest if you don't shake Spanish. Do not order from this place.

Tropix is nestled between 2 of my daily work sites in Lincoln Park and sits opposite of a lot of competition. I was a faithful Gusto Latino patron (still am for different needs) but Tropix has a lot of items that are not only affordable but also big in portion. Their sandwiches and breakfast items have saved me a lot of days when I was really tight on money and wouldn't be home for several hours to cook. The staff are always really friendly here, and usually look like they're having a good time working. They take Apple Pay & Google Pay. I hope they stick around because they're a little gem here on the west side.

I just wanted a place with decent food for those times i don't want to cook. The food is ok...nothing to go crazy about. The portions are small for the amount they charge. A few times I've gotten food and got home to realize they gave me the wrong stuff. Instead of owning up to the mistake they blame you. Yes, i should check before i leave but how hard is it to get a simple order right. On a side note, i commented on one of there photos on Instagram about giving he wrong food and not only did they delete the comment but they blocked me. I added the response from the supposed owner who clearly cares about customer service.

Normally, I do not write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience due to the extremely…read moreunprofessional service I received. The employee who assisted me was very unkind and spoke to me in a disrespectful and demeaning manner, as if I were beneath her. She referenced a previous visit and accused me of having issues with payment. I was confused and calmly offered to make a partial payment, yet instead of handling the situation professionally, she told me to either pay in full or leave the restaurant. I have never been spoken to in such a disrespectful way at any place of business. What upset me most was the complete lack of basic manners and respect. When I attempted to address the situation calmly, she began laughing along with another employee. That behavior was humiliating and deeply insulting. As a Black woman, I felt that I was treated unfairly and spoken down to in a way that carried racial undertones. I am financially stable and did not deserve to be treated in such a dismissive and degrading manner. Because of this experience, I will not be supporting this establishment again. I feel it is important to share this so others--especially people of color--are aware and can make an informed decision before visiting.

They normally have chicken, steak, rice, beans, and empanadas. A plate for chicken with rice and beans is $7. Steak is $8. Empanadas are $1.50! They are all huge servings and deeeelish. This is true home cooked goodness and the couple here are so nice. I'll choose this spot over any other latin restaurant in the neighborhood. They keep your belly full and grandpa's positive vibes and short stories about his glory days will keep you there for a few extra minutes chatting about nothing. Just like grandpa's do. Love it!

Lots of variety on the menu. We went with a few orders of pollo guisado. The menu only lists yellow spanish rice but we requested white rice under the notes and they substituted. We asked to include potatoes and they included plenty. The chicken was meaty and juicy. The sauce was flavorful. They provided plenty of fluffy white rice. You have a choice of pigeon peas or black beans. They gave 3 containers of watery black beans. Next time i will request 1 container of black beans with no water so i don't have to dig looking for the beans. I will definitely order again to try the mofongo!

Here is one of my tried and true favorites - You ever wonder why you never hear "I just had the best Dominican food!?" Because, well I don't know but I'm here to Stan for La Gran Parada!!! My fave thing to get here is the roast chicken. Not too sure about what farm said chicken was raised on, but it's $5 for a half. They have all the rice, beans and yucca you could want for a couple dollars extra. The rice is always moist. Beans are seasoned - just the right amount of spices to be balanced. Yucca. . . Moist and buttery. Maduros are maybe the best I've had. A burnt carmelized crust gives way to custardy buttery bliss. It's easy to scarf these down and wonder where they all went. Okay let's talk about the red onions for a second. Plump, tangy and generously portioned. Aces. Pernil is juicy on the inside, crispy crackly skin on the outside. Flavor packed seasoned to perfection. The fat is marbled and hot when served. Some kind of magic. I may have a culinary arts degree but I leave this to the experts. Service - no frills counter service. Be direct in asking for what you want, kindly to ensure you receive the right order. Not sure if they will modify for food allergies. Good luck and be patient. Yes they have cult favorite County Club soda here!! Similar to the glass bottle Jarritos but make it Dominican. And water and some other can sodas. Also they make a sweet passion fruit drink that is a must try. It's a tiny hole in the wall spot. Maybe 4 tables. Bring cash if you can. Enjoy this gem of a spot. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2020 and beyond!
