Tropical in Southwark

My parents and I walked by this restaurant and thought we would give it a try. I ordered the pork loin with chips, salad, and rice. The pork loin was the best thing on the plate, flavourful and juicy. The sides were alright but they need a sauce or more seasoning or something to elevate them. Be mindful of when you go to the restaurant. When we went in the evening, they were playing loud music and about to start karaoke. If you’re not into that, go earlier in the day.

The mixed ceviche does not have a seafood flavor, I only ate the shrimp and the rest was left there, they serve it with popcorn that is not fresh therefore it is rubbery; In short, it's not worth it. The onion is presented as a thick, orange cream with an unpleasant appearance that we had to return. Tamarindo Smoothie pure ice, simple and barely tasted like Tamarindo.

At least the dish (rice with seafood) that they served me was very well prepared, but not the ceviche and onion that the other people ordered. Very good service and the place is pleasant.

Great communication and friendly service.

Great place from Latin America for a family lunch or dinner perfect, 🎤 karaoke during the dinner the show is served with animation and you also can be part of the show singing your song, about the food the grill I asked for medium and was just perfect and tasty the sauce for dress the bbq delicious, the waitress are very kind, I’ve been there many times and is the same rank. Carry on guys 👍🏽

Meet was spoiled and had a horrible smell.. unsafe to eat. I need a full refund

An atmosphere to enjoy with the family, and at night on weekends you can enjoy Karaoke and good Latin music, highly recommended if what you are looking for is to have a pleasant time with your family and friends.

Food is delicious but the staff are horrible! I was asking one of the waitresses what exactly was in the food because I was allergic to mussels and she couldn’t even tell me what the food had, so I’m not sure what exactly her job is because good customer service is definitely not it, she didn’t even want to go ask in the kitchen. had the worst attitude rolling her eyes and everything. I’m pretty sure when you apply for a job you know what you have to do and she knew nothing! Very bad customer service if you want to get treated bad go there.

We always get lime, popcorn and chilli sauce. This time they did not put any of it.

pedí un encebollado mixto no traía ni pulpo y no llegaron ni las palomitas ni los plátanos fritos pésimo

Terrible home service, I ordered mixed onion and it didn't even bring octopus and on top of that it arrived without the popcorn or the fried plantains. Terrible terrible service.

Excellent as always. Thank you.

Last Saturday we visited the place, we left with a bad taste in our mouths since the service was not so pleasant and the man who, as we understood, was responsible for animating the night, was very unprofessional to be honest. Music... much to be desired. I think that is only encouraged when the very kind Phamton DG are there.

Excellent the best in food and service

Great restaurant, fully satisfied with their service, great quality and fast delivery.

Excellent option to try Ecuadorian food, it is the best Ecuadorian restaurant I have visited in London.

Very nice Ecuadorian restaurant, excellent food, good vibes, nice atmosphere, really love it, I will come back soon

Excellent food, excellent delivery. Pleasure doing business with you.

Wonderful family celebration night at Tropical Great reasonably priced food , atmosphere and service if you like music and want to have a fun night this is the place to go

I don't recommend it, very bad.

Having eaten Latin food all my life, I had to try this restaurant. I ordered a Brazilian Feijoada which is served with Farofa (toasted Yuca Flour), Kale, Rice, orange slices and the pork with beef stew. It tasted amazing, although the Farofa was kind of a let down with stale Chicharrones underneath. Chips were chunky and potatoey, similarly, to the ones you find at fish and chips shops. Additionally, upon trying their Churrasco from my partner who couldn't eat it all, I can safely say that it was a huge portion for such a good price with the meat being extremely tender and juicy. The atmosphere is great with some Latin music playing at the perfect volume and the decoration makes you feel cozy. Overall, great prices, great food and great staff.

The atmosphere was quite good, but the same cannot be said about the food. The encobollado is very bad, instead of putting cassava they put very small diced potatoes and when complaining they did not say that it was cassava, but you could clearly see that it was potato .The flag is poorly served and on top of that, the flag plate is not like the original, it is a cheap and very poorly made copy in which they put more of the granddaughter of the guata plate, and the corn is not well ground.The chaulafan Mixed was more or less but the meat was very ugly and had a sour taste. In conclusion, a pretty bad food place, the atmosphere and waiters, I can't complain but the main thing is the food is very bad. I don't recommend it.

Very good food and good service, but I think that the manager, manager or owner should realize that many of the people who go to dinner or lunch want to talk or try to talk, but the music is very loud, so It makes it a little uncomfortable to communicate with the person or people you are going to share there with!

A night of Latino Karaoke. Fresh food, friendly environment and clean, very clean tables and floors. Immaculate place.

Huge portions so come hungry or share.

Amazing steak and service!! Will definitely be back for more. The starter prawns were out of this world.

I went with a friend who lives in London, and I really loved it, the waiters were very attentive, the food was delicious, good atmosphere, I recommend it 😊

Place full of cockroaches, I ordered takeout and when I went to turn off a cockroach at the cash register, the waitress killed it and canceled my order, thank goodness I saw it in time. The waitress from the beginning was not very friendly and I thought it was expensive for the poor quality and dirt of having cockroaches. It made me sick, I'm sorry to post this review but to have a hygiene level 4 out of 5 I don't believe it, because the cockroaches They reproduce in thousands and there are solutions such as a professional gel that is not toxic. That says a lot about a place and I would never return or recommend it to anyone.

I didn’t receive the drink. I order 3 bottles and I got only one

Our favourite seafood restaurant! Great price, great service and karaoke on top! This place never disappoints

Items were missing from the order

I usually visit this restaurant with my family. The food is great and not too pricey as well. 👍

For the price is not worth it normally they always give encebollado with popcorn and lemon they didn't send that. Also the arroz marinero looks like the seafood just visited the rice.

Es la segunda vez que voy y principalmente he vuelto a tener problemas con las palomitas, esta vez tenían un sabor a guardado o aceite usado, no tenía un buen sabor, no estaban buenas pero el encebollado no estaba mal

Great food! Customer service was amazing and was looked after. Definitely will return again!🙏

Terrible service.Booked a table to a birthday and lunch. The Brazilian person taking the orders was very rude and has zero customer service skills.Made the birthday girl and all the guests feel very unconfortable and between all of us we don't feel like returning back.From the start made everyone feel not welcomed.Dont recommend as the service is quite poor and the food is too pricey. It's a fact shared by all the guests at the table.Removed the table decoration before the guests arrived and decided to charge £40 after...

Not a family friendly atmosphere, its more like an adult only place. Wouldn't recommend going with children.

The best latin restaurant in London, the food is very exquisite. The service is excellent and the environment very joyful.

Simply excellent, couldn't of asked for more. Fantastic food, attentive staff and and great Latin vibe

Food was amazing, staff really kind and reasonable prices.

La comida riquísima, buena atención. Se come muy bien por menos de 15 £ Repetiría sin pensarlo

Everything was great! The only thing I'd improve is the music after 10 pm

I had lunch at tropical, but I’m totally disappointed by the service there was tables waving jus unpleasant to have a lunch like that, No comment on the food lack of professionalism.

Buon restaurant, excelentes platos. Pero los precios un poco exagerados.

La cocina abierta es sensacional, el servicio a la mesa es muy completo son muy atentos, la comida y su sazón es una maravilla. Volveré una y mil veces. 200% Recomendado 🇪🇨

La comida es muy buena , pésimo el servicio se reserva mesa no dicen que cobran cover y mas encima termina uno que ya se tiene q ir uno porque sigue otra reserva y ni dicen al principio pide uno entradas no las llevan debe recordarle uno a los meseros y el maneger súper grosero y tosco para hablar que al no le importaba que nos teniamos que ir creo que les falta mas cultura y educación no es solo ganar dinero , no solo fue con nosotros con tres mesas por lo mismo …

Realmente muy lamentable la atencion como pude ser que uno haga una reserva gaste su dinero y encima le tengan que decir que tiene que desocupar a una hora el restaurant la atencion del propietario deja mucho que desear realmente no recomiendo a nadie este restaurant, anteriormente uno podia ir y la atencion era normal pero ahora no un asco.

I have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. Finally, I ate here last night. The food is absolutely delicious and the portions are great! The service is quick and very friendly. I can’t wait to return and try the rest of the menu 😋

Delicious cocktails and drinks, really reasonably priced, this place is like a slice of holiday on the Old Kent Road!

Es la segunda vez que voy a este restaurante la primera vez la atención no fue muy buena sinseramente. Los cócteles no eran lo que pedimos en vez de piña colada nos trajeron pulpa de piña licuada y alcohol Y ahora e vuelto a ir con dos amigos más y pedimos otro tipo de cócteles de la misma manera nos lo sirvieron, margarita pasión fruit y era un vaso de granizado con alcohol q hacía falta una cuchara para poder beberlo. Pero bueno el dueño nos dijo q así era su tipo de cócteles y que si no nos gustaba q no regresemos mas ahí. Y el cóctel pone q vale £8 y ala hora de cobrar nos dijo £9 y le dijimos q porque? Y dijo q era un cover q pone el restaurante porque a veces la gente pide cosas extras como limón o hielo etc etc pero nosotros no pedimos nada de extra. Pero aún así lo pagamos. Y lo preguntamos si era tal vez el service. Q mayormente se cobra. Pero dijo q no era eso. Q era su cover. Y aparte muy borde. No se si es porque se creen superior o no se pero al responder el señor fue muy prepotente. Y por lo q se era el dueño.en verdad no se merece ni una estrella. Pero tengo q poner una porque , sino no deja publicar el contenido.

Excelente servicio y la comida buen buena , El ambiente y el staff muy agradable

The order didn’t arrive complete.

Always a good place to be and eat🤗👍

I was called Saturday I booked one table for a Sunday dinner 🍽️ but when I arrived the restaurant was full due a football game ! When I spoke with the waitress he said there is no table reservation on your name even we don't do reservation... Nothing to say I just went to another restaurant

Amazing food, amazing vibe, would recommend

Restaurante latino excelente,la comida muy deliciosa,la atención super buena y los camareros muy amables,fuimos un grupo de 17 personas y se nos atendió muy bien,lo recomiendo fuertemente.

Excellent service and very friendly. The food was 1st class.

Great variety of Brazilian cuisine. Try the feijoada its truly authentic. Next time I'm have the picanha steak.

Muy buena comida muy buen trato y precio economico

A bit expensive weekends but big plates around 20£ or more.

Amazing good quality food, great choice of Ecuadorian and Brazilian good. Great value for your money. Very clean, a bit tight for a wheelchair user, but can be done. Good service, friendly waiting staff. Good selection of Latin American drinks. Parking is available off road, and usually easy to find.

This is our 3rd time here. Came for Sunday lunch today. The food was delicious, service was friendly and quick. Atmosphere was relaxing. Would definitely recommend

Nada recomendable. El servicio del mesero pésimo, la comida muy regular fría, y malas caras … su trato al cliente muy mal….su actitud da mucho que desear … deberían de enseñarles como debe ser una atención al cliente, cuando un cliente reclama algo que no está bien, debe por lo menos el camarero tener calma y buscar una solución.

Service is great but sometimes the food is poor and doesnt taste great

I would say this place gone downhill. My family were common visitors of this restaurant and they would serve amazing food however in more recent times, it seems as though they haven't been able to deliver the quality that they used to and the times I come, it's usually a long wait . I find my visits here less frequent and the food declining further. However I would still give this restaurant 3 stars as despite their declining quality and lack of availability, the interior is nice aswell as well as their drinks. I also have hope they will be able to turn their performance around . All the best Tropical.

Awful food, my husband had food poisoning and my child and I stomachache and diarrea. On top of that very expensive!🤮🤢

Muy buen servicio y muy rica la comida se los recomiendo lo mejor de londres

Los calamares venian mezclados con la salsa de chilli y mayonnaise, en el lugar de tenerlo en potes separados, el churrasco no daba opción a nivel de cocción, y estaba poco hecha, y la carne de la vaquita azul estaba dura

Locale dove potere trascorrere una serata in allegria

Tasty food.excellent service. Seafood to die for.affordable. love it.

I inform you that I just received my order and the fish is in poor condition, it's worn out, it has scales, all the fish I just threw in the trash, I hate waiting for a meal and it arrives in poor condition.

The restaurant's menu were very 'varied' furthermore, the nourishment service and indoor decor were 'pleasing'.

Felicito a los cocineros tratan de hacer mejores las comida recomiendo el arroz chaufa y el encebollado muy bueno el servicio de la dueña muy bueno

Decent food, a bit overpriced on a weekend. Too little space between tables. Live music is a great touch on a Sunday.

Muy buena atencion.. Excelente👌

Went with my friend seems like a descent place to go to. They said they close at 9pm but they’re still open till a later hour. All is well.

RESERVA DE MESAS CON TIEMPO LIMITADO O PAGO DE 400 LIBRAS SI QUIEREN QUEDARSE MÁS TIEMPO. CLIENTES "PRESTEN ATENCIÓN" A LAS 5 ESTRELLAS QUE SON DE HACE 3 O MÁS AÑOS CUANDO HABÍA DIFERENTES DUEÑOS,AHORA EL SERVICIO ES DEPLORABLE. SON UNOS GROSEROS QUE DE BIENVENIDA SIENDO LATINOS TE DICEN"ES QUE LOS LATINOS TIENEN COSTUMBRE DE IRSE SIN PAGAR" QUE MALA IMAGEN LA QUE CREAN DE SU PROPIA GENTE. VERGUENZA!! No contenta con el servicio porque cuando uno reserva una mesa deberían decir desde el principio que es por tiempo limitado y no lo hacen. Para empezar teníamos una reserva para 7 personas y nos dieron una mesa solo para 6 luego cuando teniamos casi dos horas de estar en el lugar porque llegamos a las 8pm y no eran ni las 10pm y estabamos comiendo y bebiendo una camarera se acercó a pedirnos la mesa y le dijimos que estabamos consumiendo y dijo que si queríamos quedarnos que teníamos que pagar 400 libras. Me parece muy desagradable y si era así haberlo dicho antes. Nosotros queríamos quedarnos más para poder bailar pero nos levantamos y nos fuimos de allí. Definitivamente no es el lugar indicado para celebrar algo especial. Si así es el dueñ@ de groser@ faltaría ver como trata a los empleados y si los tiene trabajando legalmente con todos sus derechos☝

Amazing place with a lot of changes. Music in live with Mariachi and good service.

The food was very bad,poor quality big dishes, tasteless and customer services was extremely poor. Would not recommend. Don't waste your money and time. Advice, quality over quantity and fix your customer service.

Extremely disappointing and a waste of money. The food was tasteless and the vast amount of food served was unnecessary. Concentrate on your condiments as your are a Latin restaurant! The customer is very poor and frankly rude. I won’t be back.

Es Sábado 19 de Febrero de 2022 son la 17: 44 acabo de tener una experiencia super desagradable en este sitio es bien importante que sea clara llegue y pedí una mesa para tres la respuesta fue que tenían reservas después de las 18:30 y que si queríamos nos podíamos quedar pero desocupar la meas antes de las 18:30 aclaro que llegamos al sitio a las 17:26 y esto lo estoy haciendo desde otro sitio Colombiano que esta al lado estoy muy molesta por que si bien yo no tenia reserva Me parece muy grosera la señora pues pretendía que ordenamos y comieramos en menos de una hora pésima la atención.

Extensive menu, very filling and tasty. Really good, especially for big groups! Cocktails were delicious as well. Waiters are hardworking, the girl working tonight was extremely attentive.

Great place to eat and have fun with karaoke in the evening

Buenas tardes la comida muy cara, mala hoy fui a comer el piquemacho crudas las papas, mal servicio si cobran tanto debería ser mejor

Great meals, tasty steaks, desserts and complimentary vine.

Hicimos una reserva para el día 25 a las 7 pm, tres días antes. El día 25 llamamos para ver si podían adelantarnos la reserva pero no contestaron. Pensamos que estarían ocupados. El día 25 n hay transporte por lo q fuimos en uber (30 libras de ida y otros 30 de vuelta). Cuando llegamos, 10 min antes de la hora de la reserva, resulta que estaba cerrado. No entiendo cómo se puede ser tan poco profesional. Qué les costaba llamarnos y decirnos que "por motivos privados del restaurante, el día 25 estará cerrado" o cualquier otra mentira con el fin de avisarnos y quedar "bien". En el restaurante que trabajo siempre llaman para confirmar la reserva. Aquí ni el número nos pidieron. Seguramente deben de tener mucha gente que n les importa quedar mal a una mesa de 5 personas con ganas de gastar por ser un día "especial". Dicen que n hay q juzgar el libro por su tapa pero ese día han perdido 5 buenos clientes..

Teníamos una reserva para el día 25 y al final estaba cerrado. Cuando llamó mi amigo, tres días antes, se nos dijo que seamos puntuales para no perder la reserva. Llegamos 10 antes y estaba cerrado. No me hace ninguna gracia habernos gastado 62 libras en uber, qué poco profesional. Ese día no solo perdieron una mesa de 5 con ganas de gastar por ser un día especial sino que también perdieron 5 futuros clientes.

El día 22 hice una reserva para el día 25 a las 7pm. Nos dijeron que teníamos que ser puntual pq de lo contrario perderíamos la reserva. Pues bien, ese día no hay transporte por lo que gastamos 62 libras en Uber para encontrar el restaurante cerrado. Me parece muy poco profesional que el día 22 me dijeran que sí y luego resulta que cerraron. Tendrán muchos clientes como para que no les importe quedar mal y perder a 5 futuros clientes..

I asked for a parrillada and they served it to me in a plate . Parrilladas are always served on a mini grill. Very small portion for £46.

Pésimo servicio los camareros son muy lentos y encima pides ayuda y te dicen que están muy ocupados . Lo único que la comida muy rica . Pero el servicio en general pésimo

Good place to go and share a good time with all your friends the plates are too big with one place here is the same food as 4 dish in some other restaurant in London! Aaah and Karaoke to sing the best song, which is a good Latin abient!

small but cozy space, varied dishes with large portions and reasonable prices. when I booked for 17 people I was asked for a deposit of £100. Good service but after dinner we wanted to drink and enjoy live music and we were told we had to leave the tables because they would have other reservations and a lot of people were arriving at the restaurant. we were very sad and upset because it was our Christmas dinner. after we were on the street the employee called us in because other people had left and there would already be empty tables, but we refused. for my first experience if you are looking for a place to dine and stay for a long time I do not recommend this restaurant.

Worst service ever from Fernando, he only cares about make money so don’t expect to eat relax he is always rushing you to finish the food and go and don’t even try to make a reservation because he will say yes and then you will find out there is no tables. The service and everything was much better when the the another women was running the restaurant….

Buen servicio, la comida llega dentro de un tiempo razonable, me gusto la atencion, en general tube una buena experiencia lo recomiendo

Fuimos hace unos dias a cenar y había un perro, supongo qué de la casa paseandose y ladrando por el restaurante hasta que la camarera lo cogió en brazos y se lo llevó... todo muy higiénico.

Me encanto buena música, excelente atención muy buena comida

Es muy buen sitio la comida muy rica 😋😋😋 y los camareros son muy atentos .

I normaly order from here quite often, but this time the food was just bad. I ordered camperito. Chicken was cold with flavour of fish, chips were cold and found hair in it. Bandera mixta was cold to and flavourless. Very disappointed

Good food and prices. Latino music and karaoke

La dueña no es nada amable solo cuando entre semana no hay gente es otra persona. no cuida a su clientela y pone trabas ilogicas la comida es buena pero han disparado los precios.
