La Tropical — Restaurant in Atlanta

The previous times coming to the works food hall, I walked by this place. Something made me stop and we decided to try the Mofongo bowl with steak. The steak was fresh quality steak. I wanted more portion, but I understand charging $27 when the steak was that fresh and quality. Maybe id feel better at $24 or if they added a side of beans. I’ve tried Mofongo at different places and This was the best Mofongo I’ve tasted. The texture was perfect consistency and not dry like I’ve tasted other places. The guy at the register and the chefs were all nice and their kitchen space is very clean. Simple menu That I feel I’d want to try everything on there so I am marking this as a favorite in this food hall along with the empanada place. The Mofongo comes with a butter sauce and a broth to help the texture and flavor. The broth doesn’t have much flavor at all, but it helps soften the Mofongo closer to a mashed potato although the plantains hold their texture. I didn’t need the broth, but the butter sauce was great. Stir it and pour all of it out as the flavor settles to the bottom of the butter sauce. They also have a sweet and spicy sauce That’s great as well. The bowl was so good that I ordered the veggie eggplant bowl that at $16 is a wonderful price. This place is a...

I was really happy to hear a puerto rican restaurant was opening in the works but unfortunately my experience was a disappointment. I am giving 2 stars just because they recently opened and I hope they take the feedback received and make adjustments. i purchased a monfongo carne frita with two passion fruit juices for 38 dollars. Very expensive for what you are paying for and the portions are small. I have been PR several times and i am from up north where Dominican and Puerto Rican food is widely available. This does not compare at all. The monfongo carne frita is 19 dollars and it is the cheapest option. We saw the guy cooking our food pull out frozen tostones. The juices were 6 dollars each. They didn’t have any lids for our juice. The Monfongo was lacking a lot of flavor and it was lukewarm. Overall i don’t understand the how they decided the pricing of their menu other than it being to account for the location and the food needs more to be worked on. The authenticity is lacking and it feels like...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Tropical restaurant at Chattahoochee Food Works! From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for what was to come. The service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they were serving.

Now, let's talk about the food. Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The authenticity of the cuisine really shone through, with each bite transporting me to the vibrant streets of Puerto Rico. Whether you're a fan of classic dishes or looking to try something new, this place has something for everyone.

The portions were generous, and the quality was top-notch. It’s clear that the chefs take pride in their work, using fresh ingredients to create dishes that are both hearty and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. I can’t wait to return and try more of their...
