We ordered beef, chicken and a tex mix empanadas. They were delicious and full of flavorful meat. I also had a beef potato ball, delicious! We decided to take home food.

The owner was nice and very accommodating according to our needs. Her aunt was helping her. Family owned restaurant with their own family recipes and flavors. Loved it! Keep up the good job

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!

In addition I am just so thankful for Dayana one of the owners (along with husband). She loves her customers and is always making sure that everyone is satisfied with their food.

The reason I am going back and forth between the stars is because the meat portion is very small. The rice was amazing but then you get a small side of a salad? It had no dressing but was one onion slice, one tomato, and some lettuce. The stew chicken came with one big piece and two small pieces. I ate it all in one sitting. Overall the taste was amazing. The portion was not.

We arrived at 6p and after having a look at all the food options, we decided to order from El Kiosquito. The lady at the serving counter was warm and welcoming. We asked her and the gentleman which two empanada flavors are their best selling and both of them said the steak and beef. So we got two of each. They were super helpful with the entree items too, even letting us sample some of them. The roasted pork was INCREDIBLE and I knew I had to have that for dinner. Finished it with yellow rice and peas with beans, and the yuka. And oh. My. GOD. The best meal I've had in months, I promise!! As if we needed anymore....we ended up trying their piña colada and whoa!!! Most piña coladas taste like tanning oil but this one was made with high quality, real ingredients and you could tell from the first sip. We have definitely found a new favorite!!!

Very sadly, I just saw that the two other locations are closing immediately, just 1 day after our Valentine's Day dinner at the Larchmere location - now officially, the only one left standing. The Lakewood Barroco was in my top 5 favorite restaurants in all of Cleveland and I am super bummed. I hope this last location will stay open for a very long time. As for the Barroco food, it was superb. We went all out and tried a few things on the menu. We aren't big drinkers but I sipped on a strawberry mojito with lots of real strawberries throughout ($14) and my bf enjoyed the "Iguana," a pretty little rum cocktail ($12). We shared the shrimp device and tostones appetizer ($18). The tostones reminded me of a structurally sound latke, or potato pancake! Our shrimp ceviche was doused in lemon juice and mixed with lots of healthy vegetables. This was large enough to be an entree for a healthy eater! However, we still had lots of room in our tummies and we each got our own main dish. I stuck to the arepa and yucca fries combo I love so much, although I switched it up and ordered a different arepa than my usual. I liked my "Ropa Vieja," or braised beef arepa ($22), fine but I prefer my usual pulled pork arepa much much more. The braised beef arepa was like a sloppy Joe in an arepa. Made for pretty good leftovers though! My beloved was feeling adventurous and treated himself to a nice and fatty cut of the Carne Asada and Calentado entree ($38). After tax and tip, our bill was a hefty $130 for the two of us. I'd say that the food, the service, and the ambiance made it worth it though and I hope it continues to stay open so we can come back!!

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 food was absolutely amazing, authentic, and packed with flavor. The portions were incredibly generous for the price, making it one of the best values we've had in a long time. The service was outstanding--everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was fantastic too. The restaurant had a great Dominican vibe, and the bachata music playing in the background made the experience even more enjoyable. It truly felt like a little taste of the Dominican Republic. If you're craving authentic Dominican food in the Cleveland area, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're're in town!
