Be careful with this place…verify your receipt and compare them with menu prices…online show one price when you’re going to pay is more…there’s better and more honest Colombian places around.

Disappointed as I love my good Colombian chocolate for breakfast and apparently they don't make it during certain seasons.

The empanadas and the picante are the best ever. Love coming here. Family ran restaurant, my favorite server is Ingrid she is the sweetest and always so helpful.

I been living in this area for about 22 years and there's no other Colombians empanadas like this ones and the food hasn't been changed in quality, quantity and super serviceable, El Tropico Restaurant the best for more than 20+ years

Love accidentally finding tucked away little restaurants that end up being AMAZING!Yum yums on a fabulous Sunday drive

Food was great and everyone was very nice. Nice family atmosphere.

An excellent place if you are looking for exquisite Colombian and Latin food. The best typical dishes of Colombia. Sometimes it makes me a little pricey, but I find good quality.

They changed their empanadas. ? why?? I dont know??? The new empanadas are harder... different meat.. (the sauce is the same.. amazing, BUT) seemed ok at first but then the heartburn came and I bUrped the empanadas all day. Must not have changed the oil they fry the empanadas in often. I had went to this place for years. I won't be back unfortunately.

I have visited this restaurants many times and never have I had an issue with my food or service up until today!!! The waitress we had this evening we’ve never seen before, I figured she was new. We ordered everything very quickly because we order the same thing all the time. So let me get into what occurred… We ordered 3 empanadas (which come out pretty quickly) the waitress was no where to be found, then we realized that she was in the bathroom… the empanadas that had freshly come out went very quickly due to orders to go and other tables… the waitress came to our table to finally bring us our Sancocho which that even took forever to come out… when she brought the Sancocho I asked her how much longer would it take for the empanadas.. she said 5 min due to other orders. 2 mins passed and we finally got our empanadas, I didn’t even get a chance to eat my empanadas because my food came out right after. She never brought us our drinks. And we had to ask her 3 times for sauce, I asked for 2 sauces and she brought one. Once we received our food she never once came to the table to ask us if everything was okay or if we needed anything else. I asked for my receipt and realized that a 15% tip was added to our bill for just 3 people (Previous times tip has never been added). So I decided to speak to the sons owner, I asked if the tip is automatically added and he said yes. I then asked if our waitress was new, and he advised that she was not and asked if I didn’t like her service, my response was no. This is the BEST PART the waitress decided to get in my face with the menu to yell at me that since I had an issue with the tip that it was stated in the menu. I Gave her the same energy back since she wanted to be disrespectful. THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED AT ANY RESTAURANT!!!! This woman should be FIRED for the way she spoke to me in front of clients and her bosses. I would leave a 0 star if I could !!!!
