Really great place and good pricing. I especially loved their pastry selections, and the black beans were delicious. I loved my meal! Service was friendly. Only issue is the parking lot was tricky to get into, just a word of caution to newcomers like me!

My spouse loves this place but to me it's average. I'm never excited to go here when he suggests it. I do love Cuban food though and I have a favorite place on Sunset Blvd so that's not the issue. Without my spouse I would not choose to dine here on my own. A couple of the servers don't speak English just fyi. No hate from me.

Tropicana is one of the bakeries in LA that I miss dearly. Others have complained about long lines, and yes, it can be very busy at peak hours but their pastelitos de queso con guayaba are the best! I always enjoy my café con leche and pastries from here. I don’t mind waiting, it’s part of the experience.

Do you love some good Cuban food? Come give them a try. I wish we had stayed to try some of their food but we bought our pastries and dessert to go. Awesome variety, Everything looks fresh, there’s a line but everyone seems to be working hard to keep it moving quickly. My server was Cuban and super nice. I didn’t like the fact that the pastries were more expensive than that other Cuban place, I probably got half the bread for the same amount of money but everything was very good.

I recently bought a cake for my husband's birthday. Delish! I didn't pre-order. They have so many to choose from. They also made my daughter's wedding cake and it was so, so good!
