Tropicana Eatery - Silver Spring

My favorite Caribbean restaurant in the area. My one complaint is that they don't answer the phone, so it's impossible to place a takeout order ahead of time. Aside from that, I love it. Good sized portions, reasonable prices, and everything is prepared perfectly. Especially the jerk chicken. If I still lived down the block, I would eat here at least once a week like I used to. Now, I'll drive 30 minutes both ways every once in a while for it.

Friendly staff, yummy food, fast service. I would not dine in but there is seating while you wait for your order

The Food it's just find and Ok, Testful special Curry Goat! But the People work there are very Horrible! And always has Unwelcomed Face special the Lady who Always Sitis On the Right Corner when you Walk in the restaurant who takes the order. And twice I traid to go there and order some curry goat and she Refused to sell me for no reason...she told me they Don't have Curry Goat..then I went home and Ordered online GrubHub...and the surprise she lied that they didn't have it and GrubHub delivered my Order!!!!

The food is amazing. The rest is blah, but who cares? I'm here for some of the best Jamaican outside the island. The Curried Goat is amazing with a strong thyme background and the sauce is just dripping in umami making the rice melt in your mouth. The J Chicken burns your face off (in the most pleasant way). Seriously, skip this unless you like heat, in which case it's spectacular. The Ox Tail was also good, but I only had it once because the goat/chicken are both so good. Seriously, get some take out for home.

Tried this location for the first time. The oxtails were full fat with a butter taste, the curry chicken and brown stewed chicken was JUST OKAY, plantains were dry and over cooked, the festivals were over cooked as well. The chicken pattie and j chicken sandwich was good. The food was not worth it $104.00)!! I will not return!
