Opinions de Tropical Sensation New York
This grilled chicken with veggies was beyond what I expected. Coffee to top it off afterwards was excellent as well!
🌴✨ Tropical Sensation A Little Taste of the Caribbean Right in the City! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment I sat down, I could already tell this spot had that authentic island soul warm energy, friendly staff, and plates that instantly make you feel like you’re somewhere tropical. 🥣 Starter: I began with the Sopa de Mariscos, a hearty seafood soup rich with flavor. It had that homemade Caribbean comfort the kind of broth that’s seasoned with love and a little heat, packed with tender seafood and depth. 🥑 Appetizer: The Maravilla Verde (green plantain stuffed with meat and topped with avocado, red onions, and a touch of citrus) was a star on its own. The onions added the perfect bite and the presentation was beautiful. 🍗 Main Course: For the entrée, I went with the Pechuga a la Parrilla grilled chicken breast served with crispy tostones and a little side slaw. The chicken was juicy, smoky, and brushed with that signature green sauce (definitely the highlight!). Everything felt fresh and flavorful. 🥕 Sides: The sautéed vegetables broccoli and carrots — were cooked perfectly, still crisp with just enough seasoning to balance the meal. 🍹Drinks & Dessert Menu: They’ve got a great drink list with house margaritas, sangrias, mojitos, and tropical cocktails that fit the vibe. And for dessert? Don’t miss the Dulce de Coco or Tres Leches Cake if you love a sweet ending. Overall, Tropical Sensation delivers exactly what its name promises a vibrant, feel good Caribbean experience that hits all the senses. Whether you’re craving comfort food or a fun night out, this place brings island flavor to every bite. 💛🌴 📍Tropical Sensation 🍽️ Caribbean / Latin Cuisine 💫 Must-Try: Pechuga a la Parrilla + Sopa de Mariscos 📸 IG-worthy dish: Maravilla Verde
I just ordered the tastiest Cuban sandwich I have tried. It was pressed so toasty and crispy. I had the waitress add extra pickles and garlic. They make the drink “Morirsoñando” (like a creamsicle) with freshly squeezed orange juice and it brought me back to how my grandma used to make it. I will definitely come back to try more dishes- their daily lunch specials caught my eye so it gives me more of a reason to return!
The food is always good here. I had churrasco with mash potatos and don’t forget the chimmichuri sauce on the side. I also love the plaintain chips that they serve as an appetizer when you order and entree. The jugo de chinola was pretty good but had to water it down because it is very sweet. We also ordered a morir soñando which was perfectly delicious. The pricing here is pretty good for how much food you get.
What a delightful and cozy restaurant!!! ✨✨The staff makes your eating experience so welcoming. The spices melt in my mouth, and my taste buds are leaping on delight. I'm so thankfully stuffed that I'm upset I can't eat all my food!! I love how the food is top quality at an affordable price. As a New Yorker that's refreshing, since this is one of the most expensive cities in the country to live in. The struggle is real but God is bigger. This dish was the stew goat + sweet plantain with French fries at the side. This is my second time here, and I cannot wait to come back. Great food with even greater people. I pray they continue to be blessed, and even more prosperous than they already have been. The passionate servants heart is poured into the ambiance and every single dish served. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant.
The food was very enjoyable and for the price you get your money worth. I don't think you have any leftovers in that restaurant. The cook is excellent and I will always go back. They need a bigger place lol
Came here on a Tuesday evening to celebrate my friends birthday. It’s a small place but there was definitely a booth seat in the back for my friend and I. My friend has been here prior and ordered the Pollo Parmigiana with rice and beans instead of pasta 😂 lol I ordered the Camarofongo and a side of white rice. My dish was decent. I probably wouldn’t order it again because the mashed fried plantain dome is a lot and thick-heavy. Flavors weren’t bad though. I’m pescatarian so maybe next time I’ll try a fish dish. For dessert, I got the tres leches which is usually my go to at a Spanish restaurant. I ordered chicken, plantains and salad for my mom for takeout to bring to her. She really enjoyed it. The food was good. The prices were great. I’d go back.
The food was spot on. The great flavor you expect when eating Dominican food. However, The service was really bad. She was friendly but not attentive at all. I just started stopping staff walking by to order food and drinks. It’s extremely rare that I leave a bad tip, but this was one of those instances. Great food though.
Hit or miss. The food can taste old at times. Rotisserie chicken can be VERY hard/dry. Rice is also hard at times. Rarely order but scared whenever I do because you don't know what to expect. Food can be good when fresh or I guess depending on the chef.
I ordered a steak sandwich and morir soñando to be delivered across the street. Steak sandwich was hard, food was delivered late and when I asked for a refund the male individual I spoke to was very rude. To the person that spoke to me always remember the customer is right, the customer can write a review and I can also report you to the better business bureau. Never try to humiliate a customer over the phone because the food service was bad. Be humble and correct the situation or address the chef. I will definitely never order from this location again. I've had better food than this.
