I'm so glad I FINALLY tried this place today. I ordered through Uber Eats and got my food about 40…read moreminutes later. I ordered the chicken milanesa, a cheese empanada, and I got a side of sweet plantains. The price was pretty reasonable for such a large portion! I would definitely say two people could comfortably share these items. I personally liked the portions, as a Latina, because that's what I'm used to. The chicken dish came with rice and beans - I picked the white rice and regular beans. You could have picked from a few combinations. This dish came with a small side salad too. The flavors were authentic and I will definitely be ordered this again. The side of sweet plantains offers almost a full plantain in its portion size. I would definitely order this again. I will say, I like mine a bit crisper and these were pretty moist/mushy. Still delicious and really more of a point of preference! The cheese empanda had the dough I'm used to and was cooked perfectly! The cheese was some mix of yellow cheese and I prefer mozzarella in them. This is a point of preference also - if you like cheese empanadas, you'll be happy with this one. All in all - I'll be ordering again REALLY SOON!

Very small portions for the price did not equal up. The food was not bad. It just did not equal up to what they were giving. I felt bad for the woman working.

This place is worth the visit. 1st time: Our waitress was Janayla. It's the first time we have ever seen her, she is new. What a great addition to the team. She was so professional, respectful and you can really see she loves working with people, all smiles, very attentive and helpful. 2nd time: We are on our way to visit family, we asked if they wanted something to eat. We sent them a link to their website menu, and they texted their order. This time we ordered front in the front. Wilson one of the owners was taking our order. That man gets dressed with patience in his sleeves... lol. He was so good to us as we were trying to get everyone's orders right. 3rd time: Today August 22, 2026 - My husband asked me what do you want for lunch as we were driving back from Ukraine Parade in Parma. I said nothing, not hungry. He said what about Tropical Bay! He knew I would change my mind. This time Joelys took care of us. She's been there ever since we started going. Wonderful young lady and I know she's been rightfully going up the ranks at the restaurant and given more responsibility. She does a great job! Already knows what I order and all the intricacies. She's always happy to see the customers. Through every visit if the owners are there, especially Diana she makes it a point to come see us and takes a few minutes to say hello. They are salt to this earth wonderful, hardworking people. My favorite: Fried Pork with Tostones - I love all their food but I'm Latina so I make all these foods, I don't make the pork bites and tostones. These are melt in your mouth. My husbands: Tri Fongo with Shrimp, Cuban Rice, Rice and Bean The food I took my guest that they loved, Beef Pastelillos/Empanadas, Dominican Chicken, Butter Chicken, Puerto Rican Rice and Beans The place looks so cute and celebratory. Music playing, the Tropical Feeling, it's so nice. You will not be disappointed. I have severe food allergies and this is the only place I trust with my life.

My husband and I had lunch at Tropical Bay Latin Cuisine on Friday and it was fantastic! We each…read moreordered mojitos, he had the lime and I had the passion fruit and both were absolutely excellent and so refreshing. For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

I got the food back to my hotel and man, what a feast! Everything was delicious! I'm so glad he threw in a free serving of rice with what I ordered (shrimp and octopus in garlic sauce). I can't recommend this place enough!

The batter was crispy and flavorful while the chicken remained moist. It was seasoned so well inside and out. Skip the French fries and get the fried plantains. The French fries need a little work, mine were a bit soggy and bland BUT the plantains were such a nice juxtaposition to the salty fried chicken it was perfect. You get a small piece of cornbread which was just subtly sweet and then forward with the corn flavor. As well as a cup of Cole slaw which was good too! The crab empanada was delicious, it had a similar seasoning to the chicken. I wish I got a bit more filling but I do think for less than $6 it was still good value and very very tasty.

The empanada was kinda hard and didn't taste as good as from Gually's or El Kiosquito. The bread pudding was moist and flavorful though.

The place itself is tucked away into Lakewood and offers a great atmosphere with an indoor/outdoor flow. The ambiance is nice, they have good music playing in the background not too loud and not too quiet. We went in the evening, so all the lights were turned on which made the experience enjoyable. All the food was really flavorful, and they had a ton of options for cocktails. The complimentary sauces are phenomenal and definitely take the dishes to the next level! Unfortunately, we had to wait over an hour for our food to come out and despite being told appetizers would be quick they took awhile. Server was kind and apologetic and explained they had a new training chef although it felt others around us were getting their food. I do wish they would have given us a complimentary appetizer or made one free of charge as the wait total was almost 1.5 hours. Overall, this place is a really great stop and I'm glad to have it nearby. I have heard the service and speed is usually efficient so maybe this was just a one night thing. Definitely stop in as they have a large menu with bold flavor and a great atmosphere.
