I was introduced to this place by my cousin. Nice spot where you can dine. This place gets packed during lunch hours. I always get the yellow rice with the black beans and grilled chicken covered with honey mustard sauce! Sometimes even their sweet plantains...
Never had Dominican style roasted chicken - and it’s so good I don’t know how to act around it. Also by far some of the best beans and rice I’ve had.
I have been coming at least once a week to have breakfast, very consistent, delicious also I have order for delivery. I really love everything I ha e tasted so far. Satisfied customer!
Looked forward to coming back here, and it was delicious all over again. Friendly, fast and yummy!
Higher prices are here to stay. Tip: Pay with cash to save a bit 2025 Update: Sometimes the plantains are burnt and they are not longer selling pasteles. 2024 Update: Still one of the better places to get a meal at a decent value. Prices have gone up but still one if the better options around. The one in 7the Ave is the best (just off W. 127th st) Price is a bit higher than last time by a few dollars per item. Still delicious.
Outstanding delicious, wholesome meal. Tropical Grill employees are the nicest people in Harlem and bilingual. They never cut corners and go above and beyond. Filling plates to the brim is their practice. I’ve eaten here at least once a week going on 3 years and they’ve remained reliably consistent. Considering the location, this salmon plate is only 11 and will keep you full the entire day if eaten for lunch. I highly recommend trying Tropical Grill!
GOOD FOOD FOR THE PRICE. LOTS OF OPTIONS ON THE MENU. PLAN ON SPENDING ABOUT 20 TOTAL FOR THE MEAL. IT WILL BE FILLING. ABOUT 30 TO FEED 2 - 4 PEOPLE DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU ORDER. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT PRICE OPTIONS TO FEED TO 2 - 6 PEOPLE.
Great spot and generous portions! This has become the family's Sunday takeout spot after church.
