What Jennifer Geminn likes about Tropicuba:
Great service. Excellent food. Didn’t feel rushed. I like that it’s BYOB. I think our server name was Jackie and she was great! Very friendly and helped a lot with the menu. I highly recommend! View all feedback. What sue doesn't like about Tropicuba:
We got one entry before we got our salad and appetizer. We ordered a pork and a beef entree, and we got two pork entrees instead. They turned off their coffee machine before asking if we wanted some. My friend goes there often and said it was unlike them to be so off on their game. View all feedback.

Nice cozy place. Food was delicious, we had the bistec encebollado and a cubanito, both delicious. Coffee is delicious and maduros are nice and fresh.
