September 05, 2024Tropical Star Restaurant & Specialty Market is a hidden gem! 🌟 This Latin American spot offers a cozy atmosphere with quick service and a friendly vibe.
I recently tried the Bandeja Paisa, and it was a flavor explosion! The portion sizes are generous, and the mixed flavors are spot on. My kids loved their chicken and rice, which disappeared in no time!
The market section is stocked with everything you need, making it a perfect stop for both dining and shopping. The staff was attentive, and I appreciate their veteran-owned and Latino-owned identity. Can't wait to return! 😋
