After the first bite, I was hooked. The chicken was slow-cooked making it ultra tender. It was smothered in a rich, dark brown gravy. I was also hesitant to explore the yellow rice and especially the pinto beans, but they each turned out to be just as tasty. In addition to great food, there is also an indoor dining area with a decent amount of tables and chairs. #tropicalgrill #stewedchickenriceandbeans #harlemspanishcuisine

Wasted my money. How in the world could you have "beef" swimming in its juices and it's still DRY?…read moreI almost choked on the peppered steak today. It sure why but you can see in my picture... there was enough broth poured on top of it and still was dry as a desert. The beef was tough 9/10 of the time. Wouldn't recommend the peppered steak(not sure why but seasoning wasn't doing much. Didn't even taste black pepper. The beef with bone is different. It wasn't this dry the other day.

Our server was warm & welcoming. She provided some good suggestions. I was hungry and wanted items from both menus! We finally ordered the croquettes to start. I am not drinking adult beverages right now so I passed on that offer and settled for hot ginger tea. I decided on the Benny with salmon & my son ordered the steak & challah French toast to share. The croquettes were out pretty quick but the rest took a little while. The rest of the food came out hot and was delicious. I checked the inside of the restroom out when I finished eating and it's cozy and giving romantic vibes. Enjoyed the experience and will absolutely return. Heads up: The only breakfast meat offered is pork bacon.

I'm not entirely sure if it was an off day or something, but the entire restaurant smelled really stinky (and yes, I checked my shoes for any mudcakes once I sat down). I ordered 6 oysters during happy hour ($1.75 each) because I was so taken aback and jarred from the smell. The 6 oysters were good- a little unfresh but still good and at the level I would expect for happy hour oysters. Came with the standard fare. However, my lemon was a little bit pink, which threw me off as well. Service was good. Prompt and fast. Server was kind.

Very warm staff who recommended I try their house-made garlic sauce which elevated a dish that already broke the scale. I think I'm ready to put somebody on payroll just so they can fetch this for me on a regular basis since I'm out of range on all delivery apps. I hear they're under new management as of the last year or so and I hope the quality of the food and kindness of the staff still remains.

The arroz con gandules was a solid, well-seasoned base for the meal and came in a generous portion. We also grabbed a couple of pastelillos. The pastelillos con carne and the pastelillo con queso both had a great crunch and were packed with filling. The alcapurria was fried well with a solid exterior, and the inside was full of seasoned meat. To finish it off, we had the bacalaitos, which were huge, savory codfish fritters with crispy edges. It gets hot inside and you will have to wait, but the efficient service and excellent food make it a strong 4 star spot.

The prices are very reasonable and the taste of the food was pretty decent. However, the attraction was lacking. Coca drink: The coconut beverage was cool and refreshing. It was definitely the next best thing to slurping from an actual coconut. Alcapurria: The Alcapurria had equal ratio of meat and fritter filling. Pasteles En Hoja: I have to admit that the artistic look of this meal was not eye catching. The pasteles reminded me of vomit, but tasted like a tamale. Blood Sausage: The blood sausage has a physical resemblance of feces. Identifying one of the meats as "blood" is not the best idea. In the end, it was a sausage link. Surprisingly, all the dishes still tasted decent. Whenever I come across plates that don't look attractive I'll always keep an open mind and will definitely try everything. #alcapurria #pasteles #bloodsausage #cuchifritos #cocodrink

We were all excited to enjoy a nice meal together, but the chicharrón de pollo was a big letdown. It was so salty that none of us could eat it. My niece, nephew, parents, friend, sister and I all tried, and it was just impossible. We ended up throwing it away, which was really disappointing. We also waited a long time for it and after an hour, they brought the wrong ones. We ordered the bone ones and they brought the boneless. The rest of the food was much better. The sancocho was actually the star of the night. My dad loved it, and when I tried it, it was flavorful and delicious. The pork mofongo and white rice were also tasty and well prepared. It's just frustrating that the chicharrón de pollo, which is usually something we all enjoy, was so oversalted that it took away from the experience. I'm hoping this was just an off night because the other dishes showed they can make really good food.
