We have a Veterans' group linked to CAVA (Cuban-American Veterans Association) that come to have lunch every Friday at 12:30. We usually sit in the table as you walk in at the end by the desserts cooler. Their split pea soup (chícharos) is to die for. & Danelys gives impeccable attention to detail service to her years long guests (us). Bathrooms are clean & A/C is always cold enough. The best part is we have fun in camaraderie with each other. read more

Tropic Grill - Cuban Near Me - Doral, Florida

these people have issues. I get there standing waiting when I finally get asked and I question about a item and it wasn't to my want, I chose something else then she takes my card charges me and walks away and I didn't even get my coffee while the other attendants were all talking with people about the cops that were at the corner. unfortunately I threw my bag back grabbed the merchant copy and calling my bank to cancel the transaction and will make sure I buy a coffee machine and just make myself mine since everyone here gets lost in space with or without a phone in there hands! read more

What a fantastic place for roasted pork or traditional cuban food. Highly recommend when you're in the Doral area!!!

Tropic grill use to be my every morning hangout spot for a quick Cuban coffee or some breakfast. The girls are really nice and always want to make your day better. The breakfast is super affordable and food very well prepared. I love the Cuban tostada they always have the best bread and they make good Cuban coffee for the cafe con leche, the place just renovated the ventanita where they sell the coffee and pastries to go, they also have a bunch of huge TVs now inside playing news and sports. They offer good lunch specials, definitely a local place with good food and kind people. read more

Tropic grill is a nice option for cuban breakfast and lunch. They usually have daily specials and they served lots of food, you can easily share a dish with someone. The girls here are super nice and you can either go through the ventanita or sit inside. read more

This is a quick spot where you can kill two birds with one stone - fill up your gas tank and grab some quick Cuban food. Located in the Exxel Gas station, it's been here for at least a decade. There's a full sit-down restaurant section, as well as a corner window where you can get food to go (or eat standing up). Lots of locals like to hang out here and mornings tend to be very busy. I often find myself fighting my way through the people to get my order in with one of the girls at the window during peak times. Service is decent- many of the waitresses are long time regulars, so they know the majority of the customers that frequent there. This causes some lags and delays for non-regulars since they like to talk it up with their regulars. Regardless, service is usually pretty fast, and while they are not overly friendly, they aren't rude either. Food is typical cuban- for breakfast, there's pastries, empanadas, cafe con leche, tostada (cuban toast) and full breakfast platters (ask to see the menu if you're ordering at the window). For lunch/dinner you'll have steak, pork, rice, beans, sandwiches, etc and specials of the day. Prices are the best part- it's pretty cheap, especially compared to other restaurants in the Doral area. It's no frills and in a gas station after all, so at best, would be considered VERY CASUAL dining. All in all, not a bad spot if you want to fill up without spending too much. You can also call in to order in advance for take out so that the food will be ready once you arrive. read more

Ordered thru the outside cafeteria window area. The staff was quick, friendly, and seemed to have a lot of regulars there. I got a menu to go as well because many people call their order ahead as to just quickly pick it up...which is better than standing and waiting outside in the heat in AUGUST! Typical Cuban cuisine with daily specials. I ordered the Churrasco Steak Salad, and it was delicious! I'll be back to enjoy the dining room next time! read more

Awesome Cuban food! No one here speaks a word of English, and they didn't care, they were happy to service and figure out how to communicate! Very welcoming. They were friendly, and I got to try out my entry level Spanish with them. Great food, fairly priced, super hot, we will definitely go back. read more

My co-worker and I joke about eating at the gas station but no joke, this as good as it gets when it comes to fast Cuban food! It's not a place you visit if your on a diet, although I recently had a chicken avocado salad and must say it was DE-LISSSSH. Their specials are always good & the service is quick. So perfect for a FILLING lunch in the Doral area. You have to ask for the bread, and do ask because it is divinely toasted. The mariquita chips and mojo are another fav of mine, along with the palomina with black rice and beans. This establishment doesn't receive the 5th star because some of the waitress' are a little rude & even overcharged my friend once. We call her "Fraggle Rock" because her attitude matches her face sometimes. *****IF YOU HAVE A MOMENT AND MORE ROOM IN YOUR BELLY, GO NEXT DOOR TO THE CONVENIENT STORE AND GET A COCONUT ICE CREAM, IN THE COCONUT SHELL. YOU WILL THANK ME!!!!*********** read more

I wouldn't go for that last star due to the fact their sandwiches are not all that. Unfortunately for them Cuban Sammie's, media noches and pan con lechon are Cuban staples and have to be top notch and this is where they lack. However, why did they score four stars with me? Well the dishes are all sooooo good as if they have a Cuban abuelita right in that kitchen cooking that good stuff. Its consistent and at a very reasonable cost that won't break the bank. Comes to show some of the best food are adjacent to a gas station. Could raise skepticism but if you can look beyond the fact they share a building with a gas station then you'll be in for a treat. read more

Oh my goodness! The food was so yummy! I can't even. So where to begin, first it's behind a gas station but don't let that fool you it's a hidden gem. The people are welcoming and friendly. The menu has a good variety and the prices are extremely affordable but the best part is the quality of the food and they serve great portion. Beats IHOP and Denny's for breakfast any day! read more

Tropic Grill is not geared towards tourists, being mainly a neighborhood Cuban restaurant servicing locals (lots of them). At lunch these were clearly businessmen (two women customers, total out of about 60). But we were made to feel welcome, even though the server spoke very little English. And the food was more than passable, especially the picadillo. With large portions and relatively low prices, Tropic Grill is exactly what I would want if I were in the area at lunch time. Hint: If you are vegetarian, there is almost nothing on the menu for you. Even dishes you might think are safe have meat, usually pork, added. read more

I just ordered a Chicken Feta salad that was amazing, being a Cuban restaurant I took a chance in ordering something that is not typically their specialty, and I am happy I did. They serve a huge quantity of fresh spring salad with plenty of Chicken that looks like they cooked with the Chicken that had a tremendous flavor plus they sprinkled plenty of Feta cheese. I have been ordering lunch from Tropic Grill for many years, and I am always pleased with their food. One of my favorite is their homemade Chicken soup, it reminds me of the one my mom and grandmother cooked. Thank you Tropic Grill for expanding your menu, it was delicious. Neisy Jimenez read more

This place is located in a gas station. Great for fast breakfast pastries and cafecitos on the run! Their tequeños are pretty good! They deliver but can take up to an hour for the simplest thing. Overall, good place :) read more

this afternoon, 11/20/2020 I ordered a sandwich for pickup from Tropic Grill on 9700 NW 25th Street, Doral, a place that I often order from. When I got there the sandwich was not ready (I had just ordered it), so I waited at the window. The door to the kitchen has a window, so I was looking into the kitchen, when I saw, the cook that makes sandwiches, and heaven knows what else, standing idly with his mask under his chin, and his fingers INSIDE his mouth. I was floored!!!!!! Told the girl that was waiting on me (by the way she had her mask under her nose, and a tray of croquetas in front of her). She opened the kitchen door, and told the gentleman that people were looking at him. He then left the kitchen, do not know where he went, and the waitress proceeded to hand me the food. I told her I did not want it, and they got upset. Not only is this not acceptable in the age of Covid, but it's not acceptable AT ALL!!! I am flabbergasted!!!!! I was shocked as I was walking away, but now I am angry. This is a place where they deliver on a daily basis to my place of work. LAST TIME I GO THERE!! PLEASE BEWARE!!! read more

Restaurant is in a gas station but don't let that stop you. I came here with a colleague who has ate here for years and knows the owners. If your looking for quick / affordable Cuban food this location is great. I had Cuban bread and deep fried bananas as an app. Then I ordered a dish with pork & onions with black beans and rice. read more

Typical small cuban cafe. Good Food... LOUSY SERVICE!!! read more

Good fresh tostada,fresh coffee and good day

This local breakfast place is one of few places in Doral that has atmosphere to it. Situated in the Xpress gas station on 97th Ave and NW 25th st, the place has a loyal client base of dockmen and office admins. Upholding the traditional Cuban breakfast window, the place has no chairs, only a wrap around counter. Behind that counter, with salsa and merengue blasting, three ladies move from person to person carrying large water pitches filled with steaming caf con leche. A good choice to order is the most basic Cuban tostada (fresh Cuban bread slathered with an unholy amount of butter, and then flattened in a sandwich press). Weather on your way to work, or in no hurry, Tropical caf is one of the better ways to start the morning in Doral. read more

Great restaurant with a very friendly staff. The food here is always very good and is one of the best lunch spots in the Doral area. I always go with their specials of the day because I have never had a bad experience in my many years coming to this restaurant. read more

Nice chicken soup, brother from out of town enjoyed the Cubano Sandwich. Nice joint

Best cuban food in town. Quick, friendly service in a warm "feels like home" atmosphere. Food is always consistent and delicious. Go with the daily specials, they vary day to day and never disappoint. read more

I love this place it feels like a disconnection from the normal Cuban Cafe. The food is great and the variety on the specials is something delightful. But the best part is the walk up window, you get to enjoy a wide range of multicultural people having enjoyable conversations. Then I saw why it was the girls at the window. They make everyone feel so welcomed there. Anytime I am in the area I look for a reason just to stop. read more

ok, first of all you seem to be a person that desperately needs attention along with the fact that of your lousy ignorance. As if you didn't notice, this place is called "Tropical Cafe" which by default makes it a Latin place. Now, I'm not saying you have to be Lation to go eat there, but what i am saying is that if you expect every one to speak English than go somewhere else where your guaranteed to get English as your preferred language. I don't know how is that even relevant to the reviews of the place! you obviously speak spanish by your name "Joanna" and if you didn't you wouldn't go there since the "Non speaking english" girls that work there wouldn't be able to communicate with you. Second of all, i don't know if you've ever noticed but they have a lot of people coming by that window probably before you even wake up to brush your teeth. i would like to see you work there for one day and see if you can put up with it. Maybe you need top take a look at yourself before you go judging other people. Be patient instead of trying to get things your way all the time and maybe you would see things differently and not be bothered by things that influence life in the most negative way. And why yell at them?? what is that going to resolve??? imagine if you were back there and they yelled at you? would you make or hand them their food with a positive look or would you want to just spit in their face and tell them how much THEY OR THE CAFETERIA doesn't give a F*** what your opinion is. Their food is great and so is their service as long as your a considerate person as to whats going on around you!! If you don't like them, they probably don't like you so don't bother getting a manager either because their hard work that they've put in day in and day out, justifies ALOT MORE than some angry inconsiderate stereotypical person like you complaining about NONSENSE! And for your information, Speaking English is not Mandatory or required in a lot of places in South Florida. WAke up and smell the coffee! read more
