Tropical Latin Food is located at the eastern end of downtown, right around where the car lots and chronic inebriates start.
The food they serve is perhaps best described as Caribbean comfort food. The owners are Puerto Rican and Dominican, so those two places have the strongest representation. It's a simple set up, basically a counter with a hot table and a few tables.
The menu changes regularly but some of the stuff you can always expect are various roasted meats such as pork and chicken, and some items such as stewed ox tails, pork ribs, fried plantains, and beans and rice in multiple forms. On Saturdays they have roasted goat.
The portions are huge and everything we've tried there has been excellent, simple but delicious.
I'm sure Shirlene would like it there, but we would order only one plate and split it. Thanks
