If you know me, you know I'm always chasing a really good Cuban sandwich, so Tropi Shack was pretty much guaranteed to be my kind of place. They do their Cubans panini-style, pressed just right, and they've got a huge menu of similar pressed sandwiches to work your way through. It's the kind of spot where you immediately start planning what you'll try next before you've even finished what's in front of you. Their homemade green salsa is a standout. It's bold, spicy, and seriously flavorful, almost too good. Fair warning: if you go all in like I tend to, it can overpower everything else on your plate. Doesn't stop me from dipping every bite, though. Parking is easy, which is always a plus, and they've got both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe is relaxed, down-to-earth, and very much that "local mom-and-pop" feel done right. Overall, a really solid spot, especially if you're into pressed sandwiches and Cuban flavors. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I had a very hard time picking one item on the menu. There is such a wide spectrum of styles in flavors that anyone would be happy. My friends enjoyed it as well. We all got something different. I do wish that we could've sat inside, but we had a dog with us so we had to sit outside in the cold. Service was very quick and efficient. Would love to go back and try something else. read more

Deland Location at 238 Clara Ave Ordered an 8" tripleta combo which totaled $19.21. Thinest tripleta (pernil, ham and pastrami with Swiss cheese mustard and pickles) that I've had in my life. Couldn't find the pernil inside of it. I feel scammed for almost $20. read more

I would say it's a 3.5 star bThe service was excellent, the women who work here are really nice. We both ordered a tropical Cuban sandwich and we thought it was just ok. If we were in the area again and hungry, I would stop to grab a quick sandwich and maybe try one of their other offerings. read more

Very disappointing I was really in the mood for a hotdog. The service took a long time. Hotdogs were small, chips were small bags, canned drink. Not worth the price. I just couldn't figure why the service took so long, for just hotdogs and chips. Big selection of hotdogs, though read more

Horrible service! I walked in with some friends and the cashier looked at us, took her phone out, and walked away and started talking to another employee. The food is not that good and severely overpriced! I do NOT recommend this place. read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I lived in Miami for a decade. I honestly do not get the hype behind this place... AT ALL. I ordered a medianoché Cuban sandwich and it was more like Mid-ianoché. They had the nerve to put cold, deli-style, honey ham and a slice of pasteurized cheese product on a Cuban sandwich. It's literally the first Cuban I've had that didn't have Swiss cheese. The ham wasn't even warm, it was cold and they didn't even have the decency to pull apart the slices of ham to try to make it appear like they didn't just use cheap packaged ham. Literally zero effort put into making this. You can feel the absence of love in the food here. The sandwich was the definition of lackluster, I ended up tossing it after a few bites. The bread was the only thing they do right in my opinion. I can only assume it is not baked in house, based off the sheer amount of pre-packaged junk food they sell. They should offer to sell shots of insulin alongside the plethora of dessert menu items containing high fructose corn syrup and other chemicals. This place wouldn't last a day in Miami. read more

A pretty cool roadside restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating with a menu much bigger than any of the big chain restaurants. The employees are very friendly and accommodating. I had a good old fashioned BLT and it really hit the spot.... There are many different subs and Cuban sandwiches available and sides as well.. You should check it out read more

I had Cuban Sliders that were cute. Reminded me of little ham sandwiches on Hawaiin Rolls but they were kinda tasty. I probably should have gotten an original designer Cuban. The menu is extensive, I can get there rather easily and I'm dying to try it again really soon. The,place is really cute and outside mostly. read more

Stopped here for lunch after a trip to Blue Springs State Park to see the manatees. They do not lie when they say they ate the home of the best Cuban sandwich. I only got the six inch (classic Cuban) and was longing for more because it was so good! The gentleman who took my order was super friendly and they checked on me a few minutes after delivering my food to make sure I was enjoying it, which is uncommon for a counter service restaurant. I highly recommend a stop here for a great Cuban - they have more variety than I've ever seen - as well as hot dogs, other sandwiches/subs, and ice cream and milkshakes. Anytime I'm in the area I'll be sure to make this a "must stop". read more

First time coming here. Perfect weather for sitting outside. I got the 8 inch Jibarito Cuban, my girlfriend the 6 inch Chorizo Cuban, and grilled cheese for her daughter. Definitely a lot of options, so it's going to take a while to work our way through the menu. The place was super clean and they even have toys for the kids to play outside (nice touch). For dessert I got the small Butterfinger waffle cone, which was actually bigger than I expected and my girl got the mango Häagen-Dazs sherbert. Good food and didn't break the bank! read more

Those Texas dogs I ordered were just perfect. First bite in and I knew this was going to be my new go to place when I'm in town. So fresh, hot and delicious. Perfect amount of chili and the minced onion at the end rounded out the flavor and each bite was full of flavor. It was my first time and I already can't wait for the next time. The menu is very diverse and d do full of options. Very friendly service. I loved it. read more

Tropi Shack - El Capitan - Sandwiches Near Me - Orange City, Florida

Was looking for a fun spot to grab some sandwiches to take with us to Blue Springs park and this place fit the bill perfectly. They offered a choice of 30 different Cuban sandwiches. I opted for the Caribbean Cuban which was served with guava on sweet bread and my husband selected the Medianoche sub, a classic. Both were tasty but the rice and beans with onion topping was the tastiest thing we tried. The cole slaw slide was good but the portion was much smaller than the rice and beans. Inside dining was closed due to COVID but you could eat outside on their picnic tables or carry out like we did. They also offer a variety of hot dog options, ice cream and milk shakes but we did not try these. Overall perfect spot to grab takeout for a picnic at the closeby Blue Springs. read more

I heard that Tropi Shack served the best Cuban sandwiches in Central Florida so I had to give them a try. They are a walk up and order at the window establishment. Their menu has about thirty variations of the Cuban sandwich, Chicago dogs, hot dogs, ice cream and more. I split an original Cuban and a Hawaiian Cuban with my daughter. The sandwiches came with black beans and rice. Both sandwiches were made with fresh ingredients and taste amazing. The black beans were to die for but the rice was mushy. read more

On a recent trip to Orange City, my daughter and I had a few minutes to spare before hair appointments and we were hungry. We needed something good, prepared quickly and portable. We searched nearby Yelp (such a convenient feature), and Tropi Shack was the winner. It is located on a main street and hard to miss since it is decorated as a shack on a beach would be, big signage, potted palms, outside covered patio with 4 socially distanced picnic tables. There is menu by the ordering window, the ordering window is small, protected with plexi glass, because covid. The gentleman, who happens to be Puerto Rican from NJ, was nice, patiently waited for us to decide. They have many, many different ways to prepare Cuban sandwiches and different options for hot dogs also. I ordered a New York Dog combo, I mean, I am a New Yorker, it consists of spicy mustard, sauerkraut & red onion sauce, a side, a chose Cheetos chips and a drink, I chose a water bottle. It was all good, the hot dog was hot, the toppings were fresh and tasty, it was a hot dog, not anything super extraordinary but it was good, I enjoyed it and it satisfied my hunger. My daughter went with a Cuban combo, The Other Grilled Cuban made with roast pork, ham, provolone cheese, yellow American cheese, salami & mayo & pickles. This combo also comes with a side and drink, she got potato chips and a coke. The sandwich looked better than it tasted. A great Cuban should be moist and bursting with flavor. She said something was off about it, it was dry, needed some moisture, she settled for a ketchup packet she found in her car. Still she removed some of the pork, it was dry and bland, maybe a bit old. Overall, Tropi Shack served our purpose. If ever we are back in the area I will try the Chicago Dog and their desserts since they serve the beloved Blue Bell Ice Cream. read more

Great service, quick prep, and I can get pineapple on my sammich! 5/5 plus a great place to stop post hurricane when we had no power.

If you are driving that bleak expanse of I-4 east of Orlando and are thinking your food options are greasy chains and convenience stores, take a tip from me and point the old Family Truckster at Tropi Shack. They are the best kind of food oasis. A huge list of custom Cuban Sandwiches, great deli sandwiches, hot dogs, and ice cream, all with covered outdoor seating! The staff works to get you good food, pronto, and they make it all to order. I had the California Cuban, which was fantastic. My wife had a turkey club, same. Good prices and a live owner/operator at the helm. Less than 10 minutes off the interstate was never an easier call. Eat Here. read more

Been here about a dozen times. Never been disappointed. People are friendly, food is good. Treat yourself and eat here.

Great food! Great sandwiches, love it!!!!! Service was amazing Spectacular Workers, at a great location!

Ordered the Tripeleta Cuban and upgraded the combo and got sweet and spicy rice with beans. Cuban was made to perfection from the bread to the pickles. The rice and beans are the best I've ever had hands down. Make sure you get the onions on top! Had a milkshake while I waited for my food, yummy!!!! read more

I wish I had discovered this place before. Delicious Cuban sandwiches, ice cream, etc.

I am so sad that I discovered this place the day before my parents moved out of Orange City and Florida! I had the #6 Medianoche and it was fantastic. The bread was sweet, the meats and condiments tasted so good together. Hope you continue to make great food for a long time read more

I only get to come here a couple times a year, but when I do...I always stop at tropical shack. This place is awesome and priced accordingly. When you first walk in its like a mom and pops place. Very relax and welcoming. There is also outdoor seating for the good weather days. One thing I love is they have a very good menu. Lots to choose from and I know it will turn out good. This time I ordered the Philly cheese steak fully loaded with coleslaw and a soda. While they were making my food I watched them make a LARGE BANANA SPLIT and this is no exaggeration .. It looked like a gallon of ice cream. It was HUGE, and it looked absolutely delicious. 3 people are it... But I totally envied them. It did take awhile to get my food. However the owner did say he had picked up a lot of business and put a request to make the kitchen bigger. There is literally no room for then to move in there. Anyways...I received my sandwich with high hopes that it would be delicious and it was...In every way. Bread was awesome the meat was awesome.. It was cheesy... Had lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, onions, pickles. It was delicious. The coleslaw is really good too. It tasted like they used pineapple juice in it or something. It was great. The owner is very nice and I'll continue to come there! read more

Found this little gem one day after football practice. Serves such great specialty hot dogs! The Florida dog and Hawaiian dog are my favorite but I will be trying more as we go back. You can't eat inside at this time because of COVID but they have a great patio area set up and even a little play area for small kids to use while you wait for food. Don't miss out on on this little place! read more

The Cuban sandwiches are great. The service was excellent and cordial. The ambiance is familiar.

Make sure you check your order because they will mess it up. Order a hotdog with chilli and onions. Got chilli and cheese. Ordered a new York dog with ketchup and they gave me just a hot dog with ketchup. Regret tipping and won't be going back read more

The other day I had a terrible Cuban sandwich. I won't name the place but it's know for games, not food. So I heard the Cuban's were good here and it did NOT disappoint!! It's the cutest little shop with a retro Tiki feel. They serve ice cream too but I was here for an authentic Cuban. The bread was perfectly pressed. The pork was tender and flavorful. The owner and I had a nice chat about my bad Cuban experience and he gave me his card. He said it takes a bit of time but it's worth it. He was so kind and you can tell they take the time and have pride in what they do. I will be back. Probably tomorrow read more

Went there tonight at 6:45pm the lights where on people were there eating ice cream outside. I checked online it said they were open until 9pm. My husband and I walked up liked at the menus decided what we wanted to eat. Just as we were going to the window to give our order a guy comes out the side door t o tell us he's closing. He said we're not serving any food only ice cream. We close at 7pm I told him it says he's open until 9 online he said well it's wrong we close at 7! We were very disappointed and won't return. I would have never turned customers away like that and it was such a bummer I really wanted a Cuban! read more

Great food, Ice cream and service. Always a great experience and such a cute little place. Love this place!!
