Restaurant Review: El Tropical

There's a Dominican Restaurant that just opened up in Provo! "El Tropical" is at 40 W 400 N, Provo, UT. Matt and I decided to try it out yesterday. We ordered mostly fried food, since that was the most common for missionaries to have (and the food I most enjoyed on my mission).

I give them an A+ on empanadas. They were so good we ate them before I remembered to take a picture. The drinks were also great, although I'll have to go back when they have chinola juice (they were out at the time). The quipe was a lot bigger than I expected, so if you're planning on sampling it, one will probably suffice.  We ordered one platter of pica pollo con tostones, which was more than enough for the two of us. So for main dishes, expect big portion sizes. Overall, it was a good dining experience. They offer San Cocho on Wednesdays and Fridays, so we'll be going back sometime to try that out as well.

The best part was using my Spanish to order food! Our waitress was Dominican, and she was very attentive. I'm so glad I still understood the accent and slang words after being back for over 2 years.

For all you RMs from the Dominican, I'd recommend you try this place out. Then you can tell me what dishes you really enjoyed.

Rhetorically,
