Tropical Juice Bar - Dominican Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

Came in for some smoothies and a quick bite. The smoothies were hit or miss, out of the four we got two were watered down with no flavor, one was full of oats making it hard to drink and the final one was actually perfect lol. We had the chicken chimis, grilled chicken platter, tostones, and empanadas. The empanadas were okay. The chimis were good but the cabbage was too cold for my liking. The chicken and tostones were really good. Overall this place is pretty decent and the staff is nice so I would come back. read more

Tropical Juice Bar - Guanabana Smoothie & Pina Colada Chicken Empanada - Dominican Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

I accidentally found this place and I am so happy that I did. I had been craving a patacón for a while now, but I only know of places in New York that make them. I called to order my food for pick up and the woman who answered was very nice. I arrived and my food was ready to go. I was surprised when I saw the patacón, it was huge... it was delicious !!!!! I was in Heaven because I'm a vegetarian and didn't know how good it would taste, it was amazing. Thank u! read more

es un excelente lugar para comer siempre paso y recojo mis jugos. El menú tiene una buena variedad de frutas y vegetales como zanahoria remolacha manzana naranja. también venden comida he comido el Rap de pollo, la ensalada, y en ocasiones el patacón. read more

Not the best area but one of the best juices. We were on our way home to Virginia Beach and was craving a fresh juice and this place was the closest to our location so i stopped by. It was delicious! Besides that i was kindly greated by the young lady at the register and then she quickly prepared my juice. Clean store. Prices are good too compared to other juice places. read more

I ordered for pick up. When I got there it was ready and I was not very far away. I got a smoothie with pineapple, strawberries and banana and a chicken quesadilla. The smoothie waa great but the quesadilla could have been better. The chicken was a little dry. The inside was clean and had a couple of tables if you wanted to eat in. The girls working were nice. I luckily got a park in front of the restaurant but that could be a problem. read more

I'm very disappointed on my order. Usually the empanadas are well cooked/filled but unfortunately that was not the case. read more

Tropical Juice Bar - Food here is delicious and inexpensive. It's fresh and convenient for breakfast, lunch or dinner. - Dominican Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

ABSOLUTELY ZERO STARS!!! But you can't write a review without at least 1!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE !!!!! Horrible empanadas and horrible customer service!!! I ordered 25 empanadas for a picnic my friends and I were having at an apple orchard. Needless to say I paid $29.13 for 25 beef empanadas that had MAYBE a tablespoon of filling in each. (See pictures below) Imagine biting into empanada with nothing in it!! And it wasn't just 1 or 2 it was ALL OF THEM!! I called this establishment from the orchard and explained my issue. The manager said she would check with her other manager and I left my information in order for either of them to get back to me. I called again on that Tuesday and left a message. I called again on Wednesday and the employee told me Ricelys, the manager would not be in for a couple of days!! Seriously?? Now I am writing this review because I have never had such an awful experience with food nor with customer service!!! read more

Ordered over $30 in food so as I get home to start eating there is a bug in the salad didn't even over to give me my full money back horrible customer service read more

My favorite spot. Food is awesome, shakes are great, and good service. Definitely prefer this spot over Banana king. read more

Ordered 30 empanadas last minute and they were able to fill that order and for a great price. Only problem that I had was that once you opened up the empanadas, it was like a dusting of beef inside. Pretty much empty It was kind of embarrassing cause we brought it as our potluck item to a party. However, I will say they are good empanadas though. Great flavor, tasty dough. I will pay more to have more meat in my empanadas. Don't skimp out. Especially when they are made with such great flavor. read more

Used to love this place but service quality has dropped. They take to long to complete your order and prices have skyrocketed over past year. Parking is hard to find in this location so make sure you are patient. read more

If I could give them a 3.5, I would. Needless to say, I don't think I could honestly give them four whole stars, at least not after my first experience at Tropical Juice Bar. I came in for a quick lunch with my family and was happy that even though they I didn't get a spot, they had their own small parking lot for their patrons. I checked quickly on Yelp if it was kid friendly before we went and although it says yes, they didn't have any high chairs when we arrived. So we sat my toddler nephew on a regular chair which thankfully turned out ok. I kept my jacket on the whole time because it was quite cold inside. Not sure if it was because they didn't have the heat on or because there was an opening covered by what looks like a nonfunctional door simply placed in front of an unfinished storage space where cold air was coming in. You grab a paper menu, and order/pay at the register. Later they'll call you to grab your order up front (similar to Banana King, for instance.) While I was up there ordering, I noticed a catering menu. Out of curiosity, I looked into it for the future. It was super confusing; listing the names of the food item followed by a number which you would assume is the price. I asked how many empanadas come in the tray. The attendant says 14, which is the number next to it. So I say, ok then so all these numbers are quantities not prices? She says yes, but I don't need to order those quantities. (HUH??!) So where are the prices? I said why would someone order 19 or 29 of something? These numbers are very specific, lol. She said that was a sample catering menu. Ummm ... Either way, I decided not to ask any more questions about it and moved on with my order. The food... more than twenty minutes later we finally got our order: a quesadilla combo with a peanut butter, banana, almond milk smoothie; 1 order of patacones, 1 side of maduros, 1 empanada, 1 súper green juice, 1 morir soñando. I must say, all the drinks were on point and I would most definitely come back for those. They were reasonably priced and healthier than what you would get at a banana king or similar spot, offering a good variety of add-ons like protein, nuts etc. They ranged from $3.50-5, base price before they add ons. Now for the food, I really don't think I would come back for the food unless it was the empanadas or the fries (crispy and soft on the inside, scrumptious!). The poor quesadillas were supposed to have pulled pork inside. When I opened each quadrant there was probably a spoonful in each piece, so we ate tortilla and cheese mostly. Sad. So disappointing, I really wanted to say something but my husband asked me to let it go and they had already taken so long with "fast food" that it wasn't worth it to complain and wait longer. The patacones were drenched in pink sauce (ketchup & mayo). At least the plantain top was crispy, the bottom was already soggy by the time I was halfway through with 1/4 piece. We took a Cuban sandwich to go for my brother in law, giving the place one last shot on the food and he said it was ok, but didn't really resemble a Cuban sandwich. I think this place tried to take too many fast food staples from a lot of Latin American countries to sell them all alongside their smoothies instead of focusing on just the fresh smoothies and the few foods they make best (I have yet to find out what that is!). Maybe next time. Maybe not :-/ read more

Just had lunch there on a Groupon deal. Was better than expected from the neighborhood it is located in. For the price with or without a groupon it is a deal for authentic tasting "tropical" (south American) food. Menu is on tvs behind the counter and the screens change too fast to read all of the options. Do yourself a favor if you are not familiar with this type of food and look at the menu online before you go. There are also printed menus on the counter, but they do not include everything that is on the online menu. Didn't try the smoothies, but look forward to trying one next time I stop for lunch. Overall very good food. JP read more

Tropical Juice Bar - Morir Soñando- fresh swueezed oj and milk - Dominican Near Me - Passaic, New Jersey

Good stuff. Not the best chimi I've ever had but pretty good. Fries are legit, so are the shakes.

Good food it is fresh but small portioned they are clean but seems to be like the oldest lady there who's always at the register is the only one who cares how things are running because the young girls look lost look like they are just there for the check and that's it they are not careful in making sure you get the right empanadas they'll mix em up because it has happened just like they put strawberries in my apple a day juice one time what if I was allergic to strawberries? Luckily I like strawberries so I kept it but either this lady is family or manager shes the best ...hope they hire older ladies or pay them more so they can like the job and take care of it more and wash the dam apples and peel the carrots before juicing seems like they just grab them and here is your juice read more

I came here in the time span of two days, and ordered the same thing twice. I had a super green juice with pineapple juice, and fell in love. The staff was very nice and responsive. I will be coming to this location for a try of their different smoothies and shakes.. it really does taste yummy! AND it's healthy! They also have Almond Milk available at request. Sign me up. The empanadas were also good. I like their shape and size, perfect for a snack. The restaurant had an overall modern feel to it, with that special Latin twist. They have monitors that show their menu, as well as paper menus available at the front for you to look through. I really enjoyed my experience here, and like I said.. I'll be back!!! read more

Oh, which is better? This place or Bannana King? Oh I really can't decide. Both fantastic! The food and service is great at this place. I think I might prefer this place a little more over Bannan King because they have really good speciality dishes! Gona be making more visits to this place for sure. The prices are very reasonable too. read more

This place reminds me so much of DR lol we had yaroa for the first time it was pretty good and the patacon was surprisingly good even though its not a Dominican dish. Definitely coming back here! read more

This place is great, the food is so hood but its best to order ahead of time and pick up because it does take a little while. Lemonade and Chimi is a must have. read more

The Patacon and empanadas are great but I finally had a fruit smoothie and it was the best smoothie I ever had. Jamba who? I downed that thing in minutes. Will be going there every day for one now :) read more

So far the best place for the best shakes/juices in town. The empanadas here are great as well. They are perfect to go whenever you're in a rush on an empty stomach. The prices are decent and I have never encountered a problem at the Passaic location. I always been served with great service whenever I pass by for a shake. I haven't had the chance to try anything from their menu but I hope too soon. read more

I really love the shakes and the sandwiches at this place. The prices are also very reasonable

Always fucks up order ... I asked for a pincho and they gave me a plate with Lettuce tomato and chicken Never again the Paterson location sucks read more

Cheaper that Banana King ! The empanadas are great, service kind of slow a bit but still good quality food.

Awesome place to eat. It's fast, good, and great service. Definitely would recommend the shakes. They are perhaps the best in town even better than Banana King which I think is overpriced. read more

Great service, The girls in Paterson are so helpful and sweet. The Passaic location is closer but it's so small and parking is terrible. But I love the place, beats the competition. Love the points you earn when you open an account! read more

My experience here was not the best. Ordered a shake and it was nasty. When I nicely tried to change it or get a refund it was all ignored by the staff who basically acted with no regards to me as a customer. Not coming back. read more
