    I tried this truck for the first time tonight. It is located on Williams near Estrella crossing. It is in an area where there are two other food trucks and a nice grassy space in the center with picnic tables so if someone wants to sit there and eat, they certainly can and it's such a pleasant place to be. Additionally, The food was amazing!. The gentleman who owns this truck was so kind and helpful. I think he could tell by looking at me that ordering from the kiosk was something I was not versed in. He came out to the front of the truck and asked me what type of food I wanted and then he helped me select my items; He was very helpful. The food is amazing!!!. I've had Cuban food before, but maybe I haven't, because tonight's food is nothing like I've ever tasted. I used to think Cuban food was good. Now I think Cuban food is fantastic! I had sweet plantains made in a way that I've never seen before & tasting better than I've ever had before. I had grilled vegetables that were -oh my gosh- so good! I had grilled chicken that was blackened, and there was more than I could eat! I have enough for dinner tomorrow. The black beans and rice were amazing! They were mixed together and more flavorful than any black beans and rice I've ever had in my life. I can't say enough good things about this place. Next time I'm going to bring a family member because I'm so excited to share. The prices are great, especially since the food portions are so large. I'm so blessed that you are less than a mile away from me! God is good.

    Casual order at the counter and they bring the food out to you type of restaurant. I thought my…read morefood was great. The ropa viaja was flavorful, portions were filling, tostones were crispy and based on this meal I would totally come back but my husband got the lechon Asado. It was very dry and lacked flavor. There was no sauce to make it less dry. His was very disappointing and I can tell he would never recommend this place. Pizza did look good

    Okay Cuban Food in Pflugerville…read more Tropicana sets the standard for Cuban food in this town. I have not been to Havana on South Congress in years. Back in the day, Havana impressed as well. What about Chicho's? It won't thrill you. It won't kill you. * * * a) The menu at Chicho's is small. The menu at Tropicana is infinite. Chicho's is mostly a sandwich place. But they have some plates. Tropicana has everything. b) Servings at Chicho's are small. Small servings? At a Cuban restaurant? Yes - Miami has some Cuban restaurants with small servings too. But Cuban is where you often go when you are looking for some serious bellybusting. Havana Harry's is the model for ... your appetizer, your main course and your dessert are EACH as filling as a Thanksgiving Dinner. That is three Thanksgiving Dinners. The pork chop I got at Chicho's was cut thin. How thin was your pork chop, Samuel C? Funny you should ask, Yelp Reader. It was maybe a thickness of three on a delicatessen slicer. Probably closer to two. It was like eating a slice of ham out of an Oscar Mayer ham for little kids's lunch pack. It was nicely sauteed and had a sweet sauce. (Shades of the Oscar Mayer ham again). I ate my ration. There was an ice cream scoop's worth of congris. It was first rate congris ... the best thing on the plate. I was sad when my ice cream scoop's worth was gone. There were four maduros which counts as a legal but unimpressive serving. They were standard. There was a miniscoop of salad - but you know the salad you get as a side garnish in Mexican and Cuban restaurants. You don't eat it and it is no loss. * * * The other downside was the strawberry juice drink con leche. It was a standard industrialized strawberry pulp pack for drinks Which is par for the course when you order these things. Either something was funny with the strawberry pulp or something was wrong with the milk. 85 percent of the sips were okay. 15 percent were - wait a minute - something is wrong. The wrongness was inconsistent enough that I did not want to complain to management. But the more I reflect on it - the more I am sure I would not order another juice drink for a beverage. * * * Overall, my basic dishes were good enough that I could see eating there again if I happened to be in the neighborhood. But Pflugerville is full of amazing places ... And there is some great Yelp reviewing to be done in that town. And if I am hungering for Cuban ... there is always Tropicana. * * * Actually ... If I am hungering for Cuban ... There is always Miami. Eat at the best Cuban places in Miami And you will be so happy you will never want to eat again. Plus you will be so full it will be physically impossible for you to eat again. Ever. * * * No Cuban restaurant in Austin takes you to that extreme of happiness. But Tropicana does a good job of getting you 2/3 of the way there.

    Wow, this place is great! We came here for dinner and were seated immediately…read more My husband ordered their fricase de cerdo which was $18, but came with a plate full of white rice, black beans, macaroni salad, huge pieces of plantains, and the pork in a thick stew with vegetables. The meat was cooked perfectly and the stew was very flavorful. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered 2 empanadas, one was ham and cheese, and the other was beef, both were $4. The empanadas came with 3 sauces, a green, red, and white sauce. The green and red sauce were very good with the beef empanadas. I dipped the ham and cheese one in my husband's stew and it was delicious! My husband also ordered their plain mojito, which was really good. Overall, service was great! Food was great. Price was great. What more to say? We will definitely be coming back. This will definitely be one of our favorite places to frequent. 10000% recommend!

    Cuban food!! Oh my, have I missed you! Worth the drive into Austin to enjoy this authentic,…read moredelicious place!! Tropicana Cuban Restaurant HIT THE SPOT! The waitress we had was a HOOT! Bubbly, silly, sat down with us for a minute, great recommendations. Definite need to return to try their roasted chicken. We all started with fresh guava juice which was soo good, not too sweet and just a little pulp. We shared the croquettas, which were divine (creamy potatoes with garlic, seasonings and ham)... creamy tomato dressing served on the side elevated their flavor! Then on to entrees! I had the Lechon Asado - pork marinated with citrus, garlic and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside with sautéed onions, black bean (Congri) dirty rice, crisp salad and perfectly cooked fried plantains. Incredible dish! My son ordered the classic Cuban sandwich which he enjoyed but he liked my pork better. He also had plantains and house made potatoes chips. His buddy had the El Cubanito Burger (which was a HUGE burger topped with ham, pulled pork and bacon & Swiss). I took home 1/3 my meal to have room for dessert. I had the choco-flan and my kiddo had a classic flan. Mine was an excellent creamy flan over a moist chocolate pudding like cake with caramel sauce. Portion were large, everything was rich in true Cuban flavors... beautifully presented too! Excited to go back. Menu is extensive and they have an in-house bakery! They make ALL their bread in-house. We took home some flakey pastries to try at home. Love the guava filled puff pastry. Colorful, vibrant restaurant with a full bar!
