Food is always good here! They have bomb turkey burgers!! We usually get a double meat turkey burger cut in half with boudain balls and a shaved ice. Delicious!! Today we tried a fish sandwich with mayo and tartar. Like Tamika says baby it was slouchy! The tartar sauce has to be homemade. It has a lil weight to it too! Fish fried hard and the buns are soft! 10/10 will be back again! read more

WOW!!! Tropical Express did not disappoint! The fish burger was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and paired with what tasted like homemade tartar sauce that took it to the next level. The homemade cheeseburger was the bomb.com! Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Every bite was packed with flavor. If you're looking for a spot with amazing burgers and great food, Tropical Express is definitely worth checking out! read more

This is probably the 2nd place I found in houston that has snowballs that remind me of being back home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The flavor was so sweet and yummy. It was soaked in juice. The ice was so soft! Prices are great. Service is solid. We pulled up right before close (I hate doing that) and they still served us. It's ducked off in a neighborhood. We didn't have issues parking in the street. There is enough seating at well. It's outside and in a neighborhood so I don't have much to say about the ambiance, but i definitely want to go back to the try the food! read more

Great service, food hot very well seasoned I highly recommend will definitely e back had the pork chop sandwich

Food is fantastic recommend everyone in the Houston and surrounding area invite everyone

The staff is super friendly when ordering over the phone and when picking up in person. The food was hot and fresh and ready when I arrived. I had the Turkey burger and it was great! Honestly you couldn't really tell that it wasn't beef. The fries where good and they provided the seasoning on the side which is nice for some people who are watching their salt intake. I could have used an extra one though lol. Th e strawberry lemonade is always good I drank that to the last drop. It reminds me of a lemon berry slush from the popular chain fast food spot. It was delicious as always. read more

This place is such a vibe There's SO many flavors to choose from and even more options of food and snacks as well. My boyfriend and I went to get something to cool us off in this 100° today and ended up getting two burger combos and two snow cones..then came BACK for more cones that evening. I never do this. The burgers were cooked perfect and full of flavor and tender. The prices also are so affordable: these in the picture were only $4! Other snow cone places are half the size and like $5-8. I'll absolutely be back and will tell everyone about this spot read more

Heard from a client to try this place. It's off the beaten path in a neighborhood. Great burger. I got the single....(was told not to pony up to the double meat). It was loaded with all the trimmings. There is just something about a juicy burger! They have something called a boudin ball egg roll. It's pretty righteous. read more

I tried their Turkey burger on the first day, and it was totally awesome! Best Turkey burger that I've ever had! Since yesterday, I've been ordering their chop beef combo non-stop. That sandwich screams foodgasm! I've never had a chop beef sandwich that fantastic in my entire life, and I mean that! The peach cobbler is pretty good as well. Please don't sleep on Tropical Express. You won't regret it! read more

Turkey burger and fries are better than any beef burger I've ever eaten. The seasoning is PERFECT! The best part is that you feel that great kind of full, not the gross kind of full. Amazing! read more

I went today with my two co-workers. We ordered some boudin balls combos and the turkey burger combo. Everything was delicious. The burger was seasoned just right. The patty was juicy and cooked to perfection.The boudin balls just as good. The seasoning was very flavorful and abundant in size. I will definitely be back as will my co-workers. We brought back three more meals and the office raved so much they will be going back tomorrow. What a great hidden treasure to find at Acres Homes. I work all over the city and must say that Tropical Express has some of the best tasting home-made food. read more

A co-worker brought me a boudin ball from Tropical Express yesterday and it was so good I had to go and get some more today. They are amazing. I hear the burgers are great as well but it will be a while before I can bring myself to try anything else because the boudin balls are big and delicious. Well worth the stop if in the area (or the drive if not!) and if it is a nice day you can stay and eat in the covered area with tables and chairs which was clean and well kept. Prices great and staff welcoming! read more
