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 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.

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 have visited Tropical Bay about 3x past 2 weeks or so…read more 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.

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!

Johnny Mango is a fun neighborhood spot that really takes "World Cafe" seriously. When we came on a…read moreFriday night, it was quite busy and we had to wait to be seated. The menu is vast with a lot of vegetarian options. I would say the items are pretty hit or miss -- I ordered the pad Thai as it was one of the most popular items, but I found it to be pretty dry and bland. My friend ordered the jerk chicken and said it was delicious. My boyfriend got the burrito and said it was very plain and nothing to write home about. I would highly recommend asking the staff what their favorites are, since they are likely to steer you in the right direction. I like that they offer fresh-squeezed juices - they have a juicer at the counter that you can see them use in real time. However the juicer does look kind of dirty... Lastly, when we went, there were only two people in the kitchen and one waitress managing the entire restaurant, which made service a bit slow. Keep that in mind if you're in a time crunch!

Yellow and White Rice, empanadas (I always call them pastelillos). I've heard them being called fry pies by some. All sorts of meats in sauce, fried or roasted pork, etc. I usually eat the yucca (cassava) and fried pork. There fried pork is hit or miss for me (not there fault). I like more of the meat and less of the fat (other people like that). For dessert "Flan de Queso" is pretty good. Flan is like a custard but incorporates a caramel type sauce. The service is always great. Love the music.
