We went in for a funnel cake. It was taken out of refrigeration and microwaved. It looked good, but it was tough and awful πŸ˜–

To be completely honest, when I walked into this shop it was a little scary.. lol the place is not top notch and I almost didnt stay. We ordered ice cream and corn in a cup, and they were quite good! But only good, not great. this place could tidy up a bit inside.

We were eating at Pho Good next door. We have always talked about trying this place out, but never did. Tonight we decided to. We are really glad we did. They serve fresh homemade ice cream and other Hispanic favorites and items I cant wait to try next time we come. Give it a try.

We ordered 3 mangonadas.And they made it super salty that we couldnt eat. We came in to ask if they could do smt to make it less salty and they didnt want to fix it, they just said it was the way it was as if we never ate this before. They put too much of the red sauce in it that make it salty. I threw the whole cup away.

This location is not that good. I asked for one cup of pistachio and lemon ice cream. I got one pistachio and another kind I ask of lemon they said no. Then they scooped it out and put it back in the ice cream. We went through this process three times before I gave up. Just got the lime ice cream. Then 15 minutes they turned up there music a lot. Like they don’t care about there customers. The main problem was not understanding English and the cross contamination. I’m not allergy to anything luckily but I know people who are. That with this disregard probably couldn’t eat here.

Review β„–11

Very underwhelming. First time my wife and I tried to go was 7:45 pm last Saturday night and the owners were rapidly shouting at each other to lock up and not serve us (in Spanish, assuming I wasn’t fluent because of my appearance). When I said according to google they close at 10pm, they said that due to COVID they close at 8:30 pm (it was only 7:45 pm). They also weren’t wearing any masks, so it’s awfully convenient to blame COVID when you obviously don’t care enough to wear a mask. We decided to give it a second chance a few days later (this past Monday) and we went around 6 pm to accommodate them, and they served others and then disappeared in the back and never served us. Ultimately we were so underwhelmed by the way we were treated, and the selection (next to nothing, go to the other peleterΓ­a tropicana locations), that we left without purchasing anything.

Do not recommend at all, they expect us to wear masks & be clean while one of the workers did not wash her hands nor wore gloves and was mopping the floor and she was going to serve me and my family like that.

Horrible. The two ladies were terrible at their job. They gave me chocolate with nuts & all I asked for was chocolate ice cream. While I was looking for a flavor the girl was getting irritated. The place looks nasty & I never got my money back.

I usually never leave reviews, but thought it was important enough to let others know how filthy it was inside. Just walking in, I was kicking around trash and dirt on the floor. Tables were not wiped, grime on the containers...it was just gross. Good smoothie though.

We were not waited on in the order that we arrived. The 2 ladies working did not know the menu nor did they know even a little bit of english. Luckily the lady behind us knew english and was able to help us. One of the ladies wanted to be helpful and was doing the best she could, but the other one was too busy being on her phone and talking/flirting.

Review β„–26

The food was plain. Other Tropicanas in the area serve much better quality of Mexican treats. Small portions for high prices. The tortas were burnt and the esquites were so disgusting. This one is definitely not worthy of visiting. The lady serving us was watching a show on her phone as she took our order. She seemed in such a hurry to get rid of us. It was a horrible experience we had there. I wont be taking my family there ever again.

It’s been at least minimum 5 times. That the night guy closes very early. It says 10:00pm clearly on google. Not to mention he flipped me off and laughed at me once. He’s an older guy and I’m sure he’s the closer.

This location needs improvement! I ordered churros and they were not cooked all the way . I asked for another order the lady just threw the churros back into the fryer, instead of giving new churros, obviously it didnt taste good also ordered corn in a cup it was so salty .The staff was in the back playing around. My mom ordered vanilla ice cream they said they were out .but then a man brought out some more, so they did have vanilla all along they just didnt want to go get it.I definitely wont come back to this location. Ill stick to the location on 18th street Id rather wait in a long line than get bad service. I hope its not the same owner you can tell theres a big difference between locations.

Bought a corn on the cob elotes as well as a small cup of elotes and they skimped on the mayonnaise and gave me a racist vibe in there because Im Native American and dont speak Spanish although I look like I should. I called them to re make it and it still tasted terrible

Its horrible the ice cream it supposed to be water strawberry and they gave me strawberry cream with chamoyAnd the funnel cake they just heated on the microwave very disgustingVery bad service they gave me a strawberry squash but with ice cream instead of water strawberry an old funnel cake was only heated in the microwave I disrespectful I do not think that even the children of the people who served me that they would have eaten it.Im not going to say that in all the Tropicanas it is the same because in the one of 18 they have treated me very well but in the one of Shawnee I dare to say it is disgusting !!!!

I like the way in which Miss Reyna Eunice treats me especially with her charisma and a pleasant smile and she takes her time to pay attention to my special juices that I ask for the reason why I return to that store is because I like his way of being and serving me. Thanks for your attention .....
