This is quite frankly the worst Tropical I’ve been to, and I come at least weekly and it’s never any better. My food is consistently wrong, or cooked terribly. I typically get the three cheese chicken quesadilla and on several occasions now I’ve had it barely cooked, with completely unmelted cheese given to me, to the latest time no chicken added. Every time I go im also the only one in there so it’s not like it’s busy. I’m not sure who trained the food team at this location but they should certainly all be redone.

Somebody needs to let the manager know that playing loud music with a ton of cussing (even if the vowels of the words are bleeped out… they leave in plenty of the word to know exactly what they’re saying), sexual references, and violence in the song does not exactly make a restaurant family friendly. Yes, it might be a slow night, but there could be a family that comes in at random with small children… or adults like me who just hate profane music, and it just ruins the atmosphere. Is this now deemed acceptable in restaurants? Bruh.
