I found it very comfortable and the waitstaff to be so nice and charming. I came with a friend for lunch. We started with an appetizer of fried plantain chips along with the complementary basket of bread. While the bread was nothing out of the ordinary, I really enjoyed the crunchy chips while waiting for my main dish: Lechon Asado. Lechon Asado consisted of slow-roasted pork marinated in garlic sauce with sauteed onions on top. It came with fried plantains and moros (Cuban black beans and rice). The pork was so tender! Everything on my plate was incredibly delicious. I rarely have Cuban food so this was a real treat. I thought it was priced very reasonably too.

They asked if I wanted it less sweet they could add less caramel in it and it was perfect! The cubano was delicious too. The meat was dry and I believe given the reviews of the sandwich that's just how they make them here at Tropicana. I ordered a guava pastry and sadly was disappointed. It looks like the baker used the smallest butter knife to add one slab of guava jam. The service was great though. The staff behind the counter attended to me right as I walked in. Placed my order immediately and food came out promptly. The pricing was super reasonable. My three items were about $14.00 total. I was surprised. Definitely going back

One day I was really hungry after the lunch rush, so I decided to give it a try--and I'm glad I did. The place was quiet, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Portions are just right--not too big, not too small--and they have a great variety of fresh juices that are super refreshing. I also loved the music--very Latin/Caribbean, which adds a really nice vibe to the experience. Prices are reasonable too. I've been back a couple of times since then. Definitely a great spot if you enjoy or want to try Caribbean food.

I LOVE specialty food markets!…read more El Nuevo Mundo Market specializes in Cuban and Puerto Rican food products with variety of items and produce from Caribbean and Latin American countries. This cute little specialty market has a HOT-FOOD counter that makes delicious Cuban favorites. Ropa Vieja (shredded beef in tomato sauce), Arroz Congri (black beans mixed in rice), Lechon Asado (roasted pork), and Cuban sandwiches. We got some Oxtail Beef Stew that was so tender and delicious! Don't forget the pastries made in house and coffee - all great! Of course you can make everything yourself with ingredients from their store. Beyond groceries, I think they even have Cuban cigars here. The market is immaculate and service is wonderful! There is a small table inside where you can enjoy your coffee and pastries; or meal. Mostly people do takeout. Parking available in the rear back or side residential. Street parking on Gage Ave can be hectic when leaving... I love this place!
