Best food at mid beach so far.. much more tastier than at the tavern.. portion size were huge also. It's a hole in a wall restaurant. A place where the locals come to eat. Get the fresh juice. 1 meal was enough for lunch and dinner.. was around 10-20 bucks per person per meal. Not sure if I was scammed with the secret gratuity 15% extra.. pretty sure we were.. but food was so good.. I did tip extra.. another 20%. But wouldn't for next time, as I thought the tip wasn't included.

Loved the fruit juices. Sandwiches were very flavorful and pretty to look at. The fries were perfect. The meat was tough, but great taste. Service was quick. Not much of a view, remodeling going on.

Not very tasty and not a cosy place. Staff wasn't the most friendly as well. Toilet has no seat and can't be locked. Positive point is that you get a lot of food so if you're very hungry it will be okay.

Loved the experience here. The waitresse messed up our order but plates are good and affordable. Will be back for breakfast

The food item that I chose was the Vaca Frita, sweet plantains, and Congri( black beans and rice mixed). For congri was amazing. The Vaca Frita was average. To be honest, the layout of the restaurant was unpresentable and as you can see, the presentation of the food was bad.

We tried a pork dish and a salad and the servings were huge…great value meals after trying upscale dishes elsewhere…some construction was going on, best to eat indoors…worth a try!..enjoy!!!….and uhhhmmm this review is for Tropical Beach Cafe….not to be confused with Tropicale Cafe in Editions Hotel

It’s 2.5 stars but closer to 2 than 3. Eager to try an authentic cortadito, we were advised to check out this spot. We ordered two omelettes. One was with meat and vegetables. This was not on the menu so our sever agreed that one could be made with onions and tomato. About 15 minutes later, with great anticipation, a huge plate of food arrived plus two pieces of Cuban toast. The eggs were burnt and flavourless. We didn’t want fries at 10 am. We were so disappointed. The cortadito was perfectly strong. I wish they had asked before making it so sugary. Total cost was $30+.

Amazing food for unbelievably low prices! The servings are very generous. We took a whole meal worth of leftovers. Highly recommend and we'll be back soon! We had the steak and paella.

OK so 1. This is not in the hotel. This is not beach front. This is the tiny place on the street. 2. The food is horrific!!!!!! Unless they knew we were from out of town and they gave us near to rotten and poorly cooked food,.... Do not eat here. I don't know why it has 4.2 stars. I am an honest person giving an honest review and not a bot jacking up the stars. I came here BECAUSE of the star rating hoping to get a good breakfast / brunch with my family. So here's the story. Stars were good. Said beachfront. Walked in, no beach access.they said Google has info mixed up (wondered why they hadn't corrected it yet 🤷🏽‍♀️ but now I know why... It gives the business they don't deserve). Walked to the hotel that is associated with address, process are $50+ per person, walked back, figured the stars might mean something. Ordered. We ordered the breakfast with baby steak 🤣🤣 and their lunch that's in the pik with what looks like Caribbean river n peas (aka beans iykyk). - the food took forever to come and we were with a child so was not good. - the orange juice (freshly squeezed they said) was THE ONLY GOOD THING HERE. - Food finally came. My eggs that I asked to be over hard came runny. They took them back n brought me the same damn eggs recooked (found it strange cos I'm used to getting new eggs when the restaurant f's up). They were still tasteless. Bacon was bad but my 5yr old that just lives for bacon ate it. The steak was like eating chalk or cardboard. No salt. Looked like it had been boiled. Smelled funny. Very very bad. Sausages were ok. Not pleasant but not terrible either. The ham was like no deli meat before. Tasteless. It came with pancakes and they were different but airtight. My daughter ate them. Needles to say I left most of the food on the plate. It was like I ordered just to give them free money. Oh n I had fries but they tasted microwaved. Didn't eat them. And after 12 the meal doesn't include coffee or tea which would have been the highlight. Cos how can u screw it up right? Oh and the Cuban toast tasted like it was going bad. They said that's all they had. (I wonder why..... Hmmm... Maybe cos they were trying to get rid of the stock left?) Then my husband's food. Vaca frita. He ordered a lunch item that's the first picture on the right side of the menu. The rice n beans were the best thing on his plate and even they weren't so great. The flank steak was disgusting. N no I'm not exaggerating. Everything else was terrible. He left it on the plate too. Top it off with an automatic 18% gratuity on the bill. I was furious! I believe if they didn't put it their workers wouldn't get any money cos the service was meh and the food was terrible. The juice was the inly good thing. We looked at others eating and were trying to figure out how these guys keep the lights on. So either they serve visitors rotten food or the people that come here have no taste buds. 🙆🏾‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️. But this version of Latin food was a disgrace to all the Latin food restaurants. I wanted to dash cos there was no dining to speak of. I left as hungry as I came. So ended up deciding to eat over priced food at the Fontainebleu that was ultimately worth it after this experience. Jesus!!!! People, tourists, visitors BEWARE. Spent about $30 per head and was very very very annoyed.

We were on vacation at a resort down the road from here. We tried all kinds of places but this by far way my ABSOLUTE favorite! 💯 I loved it so much I had to eat there twice and passed up other places! The first night we tried it we made it in 10 minutes before they closed since it was such short notice we just took our food back to the resort so that they wouldn't have to stay longer. The second time we tried it I wanted to make sure we got the full experience. We sat down had 2 waiters who were hands down amazing and made the experience worth it, very personable and joked around with us. I think I was embarrassing my company because the food was so delicious I was making all sorts of noises while eating ha ha! The younger gentleman was telling us how to cook some of the things, so I am for sure going to try my hand at the plantains! The older gentleman was making us laugh and was giggling at me for all my noises I was making. The restaurant itself was smaller but made it feel more intimate and had a home feel to it. The prices were the best I found and again for the food worth every penny, just saying if they could overnight food to me OMG I would eat there probably every other day. Thanks everyone at Tropical Beach hope to see you soon! P.S. If you ever open other places PLEASE come to Miami, OK 🙂

Ate breakfast here 5 days out of the 7 days we were in town. Great food. Affordable. Great service. Stop in if you are close-by. Worth noting this is not just a breakfast place. They are open until 10pm. I have not tried any of their sandwiches, but they look good.

A small mom and pop restaurant located in mid beach. Their service was quite friendly and the restaurant was clean. We ate here for lunch because our hotel was across the street and we just landed and was hungry. Its definitely a satisfying quick stop rather you’re stopping in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. However, breakfast meats are slim but they offer a lot of pork meat since I don’t eat pork my breakfast and brunch options was limited. However, I did enjoy their cheeseburger meal, but they were a little stingy with french fries. Unfortunately, my stomach didn’t agree with the beef not even a whole two hours later. They make fresh home made juice and I ordered the pineapple, orange combo.

Nice place for breakfast or lunch on the go. Fair prices, food is good, service is very friendly.

I loved the food and service and the best part was that it was quite affordable.
