"The menu at Tropicana is about as classic Cuban as it gets, with croquetas, empanadas, and lechon asado on the menu. That also means this is one of the best spots in town to get a Cuban sandwich. The bread is baked in house before getting toasted and pressed, the ham and pork are tender and juicy, and a generous layer of melted swiss cheese brings it all home. Grab a shot of Cuban espresso while you’re there to keep you awake through the inevitable post-food nap that’s about to hit." - nicolai mccrary
