Tropical Taste

I'll give Tropical Taste a solid three stars for the meal I had there (stewed goat and rice with gandules) but really...the rest of the place probably deserves just two. The atmosphere is essentially that of a low-grade, slightly dirty, Chinese takeout place (i.e. none), and unless you speak Spanish you won't have much, if any, luck in communicating with the staff. Everyone working there the day I visited was friendly, but it was abundantly clear that many menu items were available that simply were not on the menu I was given, and nobody could communicate those options to me. Too bad.

While the prices aren't bad, I'm not sure I'd call this a bargain either, at least when lunch runs over $10 if you order a drink and leave a tip.

I'm not sure I would avoid this place, but the owners certainly don't do much to encourage repeat business either. There are several other nearby spots that offer much better food, service, and value. I'll probably search for Dominican food elsewhere in the future.

Food is good  . If your looking for inexpensive authntic dominican food this is the place to come.

I got lucky and enjoyed my food but not so for others in my group. I labored whether to go three or 2 stars but since I haven't had the desire to go back, I chose two.

This place seems to have a very local vibe to it and unless you mesh right, the experience won't feel entirely welcoming. We came with a big group and instead of trying to win us over with service they lost us entirely.
