We have visited Tropical Bay about 3x past 2 weeks or so. Saludos to Joelys that has been our…read morehostess/waitress/ from the very beginning. 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!

If you're looking for very good Dominican food, I would definitely recommend this place. It was a little on the pricey side, but the quality and freshness of the food made it a great experience.

I think this is some of the best food in the Cleveland area. They prepare each order individually…read morewith care and attention. You will feel like you stepped off the streets of Cleveland into the Caribbean. The seasoning is just what it should be, spicy, and the jerk chicken has real delicious complex seasoning, not sweetish mild barbecue sauce like some other places. You can order milder jerk but why. Serving sizes are ample and you can have more than one meal if you can stop yourself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. The sides are all good too. I could have just the cabbage and rice or Mac and cheese and be happy. There's always a line, sometimes out the door, and be prepared for a reasonable wait. This is good food. It's very small inside and has a chair or two, no dining in.

Irie is a whole vibe! Food is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!…read more I've always had a pleasant experience no matter the location but HUGE shoutout to Irie on Pearl. I came in on a dreary Friday and just wanted to pick up my food and go. There were a few people ahead of me, people coming in and out for meal delivery, etc. The woman behind the line had such great energy, she was talking to everyone. She was bubbly, friendly, outgoing, and so sweet. She was running out of items and communicating with the chef but made sure to keep everyone in the loop as well. I wanted to stay and hang out just because of her energy!! I didn't wait long at all, this sweet woman even snuck in a complimentary cornbread for the wait. (I see you, Blondie. Thank you for that sweet little gesture!) Highly recommend for the food AND experience!!

Super friendly, locally owned. The owner was patient with me (I've never had Dominican food…read morebefore), explained all the dishes and helped me order and gave me some free extras since I was by myself and from out of town. 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!

I came into the area for a work event and randomly found Pica Pollo Dos on yelp…read more The chicken was the best fried chicken I have ever had. 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.

Sorullo, shrimp empanada, beef empanada, chicken empanada, steak & cheese empanada, and potato ball with beef. My husband and I split the potato ball. It was huge. Sorullo was interesting.

They all have their own distinct flavors and I enjoyed each and every one of them. It's small place but the food speaks for itself. Service was friendly and fast. These are best eaten fresh.

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.

I came early afternoon and was initially the only person dining in. I let the young lady at the register know about my Groupon when I was ordering and had no problem redeeming it and amount over the Groupon, I was able to pay with another method, no issue. As for the food, it was quite good. I hadn't had mofongo since I visited San Juan a few years back. I ordered the roasted pork with my mofongo and enjoyed crispy pieces mixed in. I also ordered sweet plantain which were cooked nicely and the potato salad Good food, portions, and friendly fast service. I'll be back again.
