No more vegan protein - Edit
The guy taking our order told us that they no longer have the vegan protein at any of the locations 😔 The bowl was still really yummy with the other veggie toppings that you can add. Drink options are soda, water or beer

Delicious build your own bowl - Edit
I love Puerto Rican beans and rice, many places put meat in their beans but I confirmed that their beans do not have meat. I ordered a salad with rice and beans. I did not see an option for beyond meat, but I don't really like fake meat anyway. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves.

Cons: Charges extra for avocado

Quick & casual - Edit
This is a good spot for grabbing something quickly or if your options are limited. I wasn’t a fan of the beyond veggie meat.

Fun local food with vegan options - Edit
We both had bowls at Trópiko and enjoyed them immensely. I don’t speak Spanish so the employee patiently explained what things were and what was vegetarian and met our other dietary needs. And they revealed that there was plant based “ground meat” available as well. Food was delicious, freshly prepared.
Read morePros: Vegan and vegetarian options, Friendly help
Cons: Hours weren’t clear but was closed one time, Bathroom sink had no soap

Great place to try local specialties - Edit
Tasty build-your-own bowls. A great place to try local dishes like mofongo, arroz con habichuelas, bifongo, maduros, tostones, etc all in one bowl.
Read moreThey have regular and mini size bowls. I found the mini bowl a generous portion not being too hungry. The mofongo was interesting, though very garlicky. I really loved their tomato rice with beans base (another local specialty but blanking on the name). I wish they had more veggie toppings. But the mushrooms, corn, avocado, and plantains were all nice.
I did not love the tostones, though. They lacked flavor. Everything (bases and toppings) was also quite greasy, but I wasn’t expecting it to feel healthy. Overall, it was tasty and flavorful, so I’d recommend it. Staff was also incredibly kind and friendly.
Pros: Flavorful , Fast, Local flavors
Cons: Few veggie toppings, Don’t take Amex
