Tropical Picken Chicken - Raleigh

Really disappointed because this place had great food. Ordered through Eatstreet, show up, and no one is there. The sign on the door says they're only open Thursday and Friday (it's Thursday) but the lights were off and no one inside and Google hasn't been updated. Luckily got my money back through Eatstreet customer service. No website up anymore and phone number is no longer in service. If you're not open anymore, please share it with the rest of us.

Drove there long distance for my desired pasteles and alcapuras. They didn’t have any. Asked for a chicken soup instead, they didn’t have any! I was so disappointed ! Very few items on the menu. Had no choice so I ordered a Cuban Sandwich- that was good but very little meat and no substitute. I wanted yucca fries instead but no substitute. Wasted my gas!!owner made excuses but poor customer service.

This was some of the worst Latin food I have had in Raleigh. I ordered the empanada platter, which is 2 empanadas and 2 sides. I chose the beef empanadas, fried yuca and salad. The empanadas were huge and mostly empty. They look big, but they are full of hot air. The taste of the meat wasn 't bad, but i there was barely anything there. Even the salad was one big lump of dried-up lettuce with 2 tomatoes and 2 slices of onions and zero dressing. The fried yuca was the most disappointing part. They were fried in oil that was already overused because there was no resemblance to yuca; they looked, and tasted like fried batter and literally crumpled in my fingers. When I mentioned it to the counter girl, she said, I 'm sorry, I guess that 's why they are cleaning the fryers right now. I am never ever going here again, and I am sure they will be fine without me, but do yourself a favor. If you are a real critic of Latin food and have good examples to compare against, don 't go here either. I am saving you the cash and disappointment.It 's been hard finding latin restaurants here that have that authentic taste like the ones in NY or NJ. I have tried Red Monkey (fake Colombian food), Tropical Chicken in Wake Forest before it closed (5 out of 10 rating), Hartura in Wake Forest (The Mangu does not have the Dominican taste), and Alpaca (Cant make Lomo or Tallarines to save their lives).

Food delicious. Staff was overwhelmed but maintained their professionalism. Very busy Sundays.Get the tacos meal. Very good. My grandchild loved it.

I would NOT come here ever again. Stay away! First of all, the food took forever to be ready over an hour. All that long wait so that they could tell us that they ran out of tenders AND fries. We didn't get offered a refill we HAD to ask for one. We didn't get our food all together, our plates were given 15-25 minutes apart from each other, they also got our orders mixed up when I ordered yellow rice, they gave us white. Expensive food for the experience to be absolutely terrible. I would NOT recommend and most definitely never be back.
