Tropicana Food By The Pound Menu

Tropicana Food By The Pound offers an incredible and diverse menu that’s sure to please anyone seeking authentic and hearty Latin dishes. As a reviewer, I couldn’t help but be drawn to the variety of comforting meals served throughout the week.

On Mondays, the menu kicks off with vibrant dishes like Tambor de Papas, crispy and flavorful fried potatoes, and Fricase de Pollo, a succulent chicken fricassee. For something a little heartier, the Carne con Papas—a tender beef stew with potatoes—is a must-try. The Arroz con Pollo and Paleta de Cerdo Asada are classic options that deliver bold flavors, perfect for starting the week.

Tuesdays bring a comforting twist with Tamal en Cazuela, a rich tamale casserole, and Churrasco de Pollo, grilled chicken steak, which pairs perfectly with Costilla de Cerdo Asada, slow-cooked pork ribs. If you're a fan of juicy meats, Fricase de Cerdo and Carne Asada will surely satisfy.

On Wednesdays, it's time for the deliciously aromatic Picadillo de Res, a ground beef hash, and Vaca Frita de Cerdo, crispy fried pork. The Arroz Frito (fried rice) is a delightful side to accompany Milanesa de Pollo or the rich Ropa Vieja de Pollo—tender shredded chicken in a flavorful sauce.

Thursdays feature Pasta con Albondigas, a comforting pasta dish with meatballs, while Masitas de Pollo Fricase delivers juicy chicken pieces in a savory sauce. You’ll also find Costillas de Cerdo Asado, perfectly roasted pork ribs, and Boliche Asada, a tender pot roast, rounding out the offerings.

Fridays are all about indulgence with dishes like Pollo Teriyaki, smoky Chuleta Ahumada, and Pollo Horneado con Papas, baked chicken with seasoned potatoes. Picadillo de Pavo and Pescado Empanizado (breaded fish) provide lighter yet equally tasty options.

Saturdays bring Pasta Alfredo, creamy and decadent, alongside Costillas de Asado for a fulfilling, savory experience. For a comforting touch, the Potaje or soup of the day is always a warm delight.

Available every day, the Bistek de Pollo a la Plancha, Bistek de Cerdo a la Plancha, and Bistek de Carne a la Plancha offer perfectly grilled steaks, whether chicken, pork, or beef. For seafood lovers, Salmon a la Plancha delivers a fresh and delicious option, while Rabo Encendido, a hearty oxtail stew, provides a flavorful twist.

And don’t forget to indulge in the tempting desserts—Flanes individuales, Tres Leches, and Pudin de Chocolate o Vanilla—all of which are the perfect ending to a meal at Tropicana.
