I order this through Doordash and legimately could order the Yuca Empanada for every meal, it melted in my mouth. We went a little crazy and got that Pupusa and Arepas as well as an assortment of baked goods and I will be returning before I leave. SOOOO GOOD

Wow! I’ve worked in Ooltewah for 6 years and just now discovered this GEM. We have gotten this 3 days in a row this week because everything we’ve tried is absolutely delicious. Please get the enchiladas, quesadilla, or tamale. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and I can’t say enough great things.

Great Latin food and wonderful service. If want to get some awesome vegan food definitely grab a plate at tropical cuisine! Vegetarian options: There is a section in the menu with vegetarian options. Parking: Plenty of spots all around the store. Kid-friendliness: Nice peaceful Christian music playing and wonderful smiles kids will definitely enjoy the food. Nice dessert options as well.

My friend and I stopped here for Sunday brunch and I was pleasantly surprised by the food. It was amazing. When we arrived, there was only one table occupied. We took quite a bit of time to decide (because everything looked so good on their menu); I ended up ordering the House Plate. The food was so delicious. The beans were flavorful and I was so happy at the amount on my plate. The avocado was creamy and the egg was a great addition on top that tied the whole dish together. I don't know what this piece was called, but it looked like I had some rice cracker things that were crunchy and provided a nice texture. Lastly, my favorite part were the grilled sweet plantains. They were caramelised and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Also the side salad tasted very fresh and healthy. The House Plate as a dish was so well balanced, there were healthy fats, protein, carbs, fiber. It had different textures from the various components that made up the dish. Visually it looked very nice too. Service was friendly and nice. I will rave about this place anywhere and to anyone who listens lol. The 5 star ratings are well deserved and I look forward to coming back here in the near future :)

I was quite impressed with this unique restaurant and two restaurants in one. The restaurant is on one side and smoothie bar/ ice cream. I have to give a shout-out to Bianca for the yummy smoothie the first day I came in. She made me a blueberry, honey, and peanut butter smoothie. I was given an option for thick or more thin. I chose the thick options and enjoyed it. Bianca also took the time to explain the history and all the gluten-free options I could choose from, which she didn't have to but took the time. That was a great touch for someone doing a review. I heard so much about how good the veggie burger was. I came back another day to try it. The bun was made out of corn and flat, but the burger was very juicy with lettuce, tomatoe, and onion. I was also happy they had a dedicated frier so I could have the steak fries. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely Would I return to this restaurant? Absolutely Don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself. It's a vegan / plant base restaurant. The price was reasonable for the high quality food. Dietary restrictions: Gluten allergy

Ate here for lunch today and I was overly impressed. I got the Thursday lunch special ( enchiladas ). Everything from the salad to the rice and beans was delicious. The guacamole was different but was one of my favorite items. Hard to believe this was vegetarian ( let me be clear - I am NOT in anyway a vegan/vegetarian ) but this was really incredible. Let me finish by saying the place was extremely clean. Great experience.

Hey everyone, I 'm back again because it is really that great! Sorry, no picture today. I guess you'll just have to come by to see and taste for yourselves! Today, I had the Fit Plate. Info for newbees: they offer different specials each day of the week from a different country. As always the food and service were excellent. A new addition is their vegan ice cream.... Come on in and sample the flavors. They offer a great selection of menu items! Good size portions. Tasty food and beverages. Relaxing atmosphere. Great job Tropical Cuisine team! I will continue to support you and bring people here to experience Tropical Cusine! Vegetarian options: All meals are made vegan but are made vegetarian by request. Parking: There are only about eight parking spots in front of the store but there are other places further down Wheelchair accessibility: It is easy to get a wheelchair inside and pull up to any of the tables. There is not an automatic door. Someone would have to open the door for a wheelchair.

Really love the food here! As a vegetarian it's hard to find good food at all but especially lots of choices in different cuisines. This place has a fully vegetarian menu that can be customized not only to your tastes but also tailored to your diet. Even fully vegan! Just close you eyes and point and it's going to be something delicious. You don't have to wonder. Go by and try it today!
