The Food – In the back of this well-stocked market is a small counter where you can get some of the best Hispanic food in the city. Whether you like Cuban, Mexican or something else, La Tropicana is the place. On your way through the market, grab a Jarritos soda from the cooler. Now ring the bell and start ordering. Try a few empanadas--small fried turnovers filled with cheese, chicken, beef, etc. Then move on to one of the special plates listed on the back wall. It doesn't matter what you get, it's all good. And don't neglect the items stored in the display cooler: the cactus salad is…
Great place
by ChrisBelle
We had dinner here and really enjoyed it. The food was very authentic and the service was great. This is a real neighborhood place with a friendly family vibe. I am suprised that more people don't know about it. It used to be just a grocery store, but now it is a grocery store, restaurant and carry out. I highly recommend it.
- Pros: Family business
the best cuban food in town!!!
by babydoll21062
I know this little dive and st. louisans you're missing out on some great food at great prices! I've had the "cubano" and let me tell you the meat was so succulent! I had a mouth of flavor that describes a food odessey that is the greatest ! And regular folk aren't used to this type of comfort food, but man oh man its sooo good !!! I won't even mention the empanadas, and the rice, you guys want good cuban and latino fare? This place has it, and the staff is humble and generous- my kind of place!!!! The shelves are always stocked and the family is in the place giving you the best of what they know, friendly family service and good food, and also stuff you can buy and take home, you can't beat it, and its soo "mama mia" good!!!!
- Pros: great food, and great environment!
- Cons: parking on street
Great Cuban and Mexican

I've been to this place many times and it's one of the best markets in St. Louis. My favorites are the burritos and the Cuban sandwiches. Make sure to walk around the market and see all of the different selections.
