Tropicana Cuban Restaurant, Austin TX

I want to express that this place is a blessing. The entire work team, from the waiters, cooks and bakery, always welcome us with a smile. We visit the restaurant frequently and it feels like being at home. The food, the desserts, the atmosphere, a very clean and cozy place. The kitchen is open giving you the opportunity to see the food handling and cleaning. God bless you all and give you many years of success.

Wonderful experience for myself and my Cuban husband. Flavorful and plentiful plates of authentic Cuban food. We've tried a few Cuban restaurants in town and this one takes the prize for it's food, atmosphere and and affordable pricing. The bonus is the bakery with fresh Cuban bread. It is worth the drive.

My mother is Cuban and approves this place!
If you’re looking for a great quality dining experience, Tropicana is it! Delicious, well cooked food and everything was served FRESH! I just found my favorite spot!

It's not what I thought we tried
A Cuban breakfast but it was
More like an American restaurant, none of the waiters are Cuban, which I don't agree with, it's a Cuban restaurant, so I don't recommend it.

I gave this place a higher rating on yelp, but since being overcharged, which I didn't expect after such a nice meal. It appears they're charging gringos more, or they just haven't updated their menus to reflect accurate prices. It was delicious, but think I'll look for another place the next time I have a craving for Cuban.

The atmosphere has nothing to do with Cuban culture. And the bread with steak, except for the bread which is delicious, the ingredients are not those of a bread with Cuban steak.
The atmosphere has nothing to do with the Cuban culture. And the pan con bistec except for the bread which came out delicious, the ingredients don't represent those actually used in the Cuban pan con bistec.

Excellent service. I went with a tooth pulled and they gave me the best service. The food was super delicious. I recommend it 100%.

This place has a 5, a comfortable, very tropical atmosphere that encourages conversation; Our waitress Sandra was very attentive and friendly and the food was super delicious and with the typical seasoning of Cuban food. If you go, be sure to order Mamey's tamales and smoothie, they are great and the beef soup is exquisite. Enjoy this first experience and I definitely recommend this place for any lover of Cuban and tropical food.

What can I say, very poor quality of food. It is reheated from hours or maybe from the day before not counting that the meat arrived that seems to have been bitten. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never eat in that place again.

Poor quality of food. I ordered a meal at home and I received a piece of meat that looks like it's been cooked for a while and that they chopped a piece after it was done. It is a lack of respect for customers, apart from the medium raw rice, I do not recommend it at all and the high price for such poor quality

Delicious! Every time we come to Austin, we stop by. Excellent food, nice atmosphere, and delicious drinks!

Ugh! What can I say about this place!? They are always very cute and helpful. The atmosphere is super, the food is very tasty, the service is unbeatable, especially Kammy's attention, always beautiful and with an aptitude and good vibe that makes you want to return. Thank you

I've eaten at this place a good amount and they never disappoint.

I ordered El Cubanito Burger, papa Rellena, Carne Con Papa, Empanadas

The burger was massive and packed with the meats and seasoned greatly as the papa rellena looks interesting when first trying it but I love it.
I got two empanadas as one was beef and the other was chicken. Not my favorite but it's edible, the Carne con papa is delicious whenever. Next day if you want but I really enjoy it as it comes off as family home cooked meals and such a hardy dish that the meat is tender and flavored right.

Super pleased, I highly recommend it, the divine congrí, the exquisite snapper fish, the piña colada the best I've ever had, the michelada well, all the food is very tasty, excellent Cuban food and the treatment is super nice, the girl and quickly I loved the place

This is the only place ever that I have found that serves Costa Rican cuisine. Although it is a Cuban restaurant, they have arroz con pollo a la tica which was phenomenal. I will definitely be coming back
