They asked if I wanted it less sweet they could add less caramel in it and it was perfect! The cubano was delicious too. The meat was dry and I believe given the reviews of the sandwich that's just how they make them here at Tropicana. I ordered a guava pastry and sadly was disappointed. It looks like the baker used the smallest butter knife to add one slab of guava jam. The service was great though. The staff behind the counter attended to me right as I walked in. Placed my order immediately and food came out promptly. The pricing was super reasonable. My three items were about $14.00 total. I was surprised. Definitely going back

If you're looking for great Mexican bread and pastries, this is definitely the place. However, on Mother's Day (May 10th), I decided to try their menudo for the first time and purchased 3 orders. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The menudo was extremely bland and seemed to be missing basic seasoning like salt and oregano. Normally, bland food can be fixed at home with a few spices, but the bigger issue was the large amount of grasa (grease/fat) in the caldo. The grease was very dense and excessive. I tried removing as much as possible, but there was still too much. In fact, I had to serve my mother the menudo without the broth because of how greasy it was. My recommendation: stick to the bread -- it's great. As for the menudo, maybe this was just a one-off experience, so others may want to give it a try for themselves. I personally hope they improve the recipe because it's difficult finding a good Sunday morning menudo spot in the Downey area.

First and foremost, the location is really clean and organized, which is a huge plus in my mind. Additionally, there is a window you can see into as they make the churros, the cakes, and all other pastries in the shop. It's really captivating to look and see what they are doing. The moment you walk in, they treat you like family and instantly say hi and check-in on you. They also give you the time you need and let you do what you need to do. I ordered a churro and a choco flan. The churro took a minute, because they make it fresh, and was it worth it! Crispy, cinnamony, and delicious. The choco flan I got for a coworker and she loved it.

I showed her the design, sent my file of the books image I wanted. Together we figured it would be best to design it a certain way, which was a wrap of the books and plain on the top with the number 13. She was very accommodating and said they can make it. At the end we had a cake with minor problems. The book design at the top was not even and one side didn't completely reach. Like it was rushed but overall it was okay. It had the main theme "The Summer I turned Pretty" and my daughter's favorite books on the side. The 3 on thirteen don't really look like a 3, but it worked. I paid $180 for the cake please make it look complete. As far as the taste, the fresh strawberries on white cake tasted great. The fondant was a printed piece.
