Tropicana Restaurant/Carry-Out

"Great lunch specials ($10) hard to find these days to include a beverage as well ( bottle of water ). who cares it’s a deal from every angle. Kinda out the way for us Virginians but well worth the travel. The flavors are true to the Caribbean as what I know of Tropicana. The food portion was on point as well. The service is rated low cause I think it’s a solo dolo operator so it was a bit of a what for the food. However, again it was worth the wait!!! Get you some if in the area and you like authentic Caribbean food! Spices on point. Oh and they got security on lock"

"This was a NYE order. I just wanted some good food to bring in the new year. Third time was NOT the charm. This food was utterly disgusting. I ordered via Uber Eats. The oxtail was just okayish. The rice and peas were flavorless and unseasoned. Thee chicken patty— let’s get into it. I bit it and something tasted horrid. I spit it out immediately. I decided to break the patty in half to see what was inside because the texture was also off. Y’all, I pulled the patty apart and it was SLIMEY, yes, SLIMEY. The inside had white specks. After I gagged from the vision and the smell, I took a picture. I will never patron this establishment again. I am still disgusted. They served flavorless, plain, inauthentic, old/outdated food."

"Ordered jerk chicken with white rice. They gave me the wrong rice but that was besides the point after looking at the chicken. There was enough seasoning on there to season every bite of chicken I've eaten in my entire life! Inedible! Can't and won't do it again. Please, look for another dive to be order disappointing Jamaican food from. Horrid."

"I gave a star for great customer service. First time customer I would have accepted your prices if the food was I order peanut soup and bitter leave soup. First you could have used bigger containers for the prices of the the food. Second the peanut has no flavor just spicy. Third the bitter leaf soup is over powered by the smell of the smoke fish , I should have just ordered smoked fish . Fourth the bitter leaf soup has no flavor. I will not be back to taste anything else there I should have went with my first choice and went next door. Figure out what really brings in the money and just focus on that. If you know how to make Birria Tacos you would make a ton of money. The meat has to have flavor and the consomme’ must be flavorful. Anyway get rid of the African cuisine if it’s not bringing in money."

"I ordered 4 veggie patties and received 4 beef patties and one hard beef patty. The skin on the half chicken is burnt and overcooked."
