Delicia Tropical Cafe in Elgin

Good service. Fast service. Very good food!

My husband and I have been going here for years. We were near by and decided on it for dinner. Sadly, they were SOLD OUT on my go to chicken Jibarito!! Due to a company party! SOLD OUT!! That's how DELICIOUS this joint it!! Go, try it.... NO REGRETS!

I enjoy the flavor of their cooking. I must say that as an Puerto Rican Islander, they make me remember my abuelita (grandma). Don't expect a fancy restaurant, it's a family small place but the food it's amazing. Service is good, p it was not busy when I was there, and the place is clean. They have plenty of parking. Don't leave without trying their Flan!

Great food and service, Elgin gem.

The food I rate 5 stars. But the lady that works the register is beyond rude. I love the food. But I really do not know why she gives customers attitude. If It was not for her I would be spending my money at this restaurant everyday. I love the food, it's delicious and decadent. Unfortunately I can only go when I think I can tolerate the front seat lady. Other than that I just wait a few months before going back.

I enjoyed my sandwich. I have never had a sandwich on Plantains before and it was better than I expected! The fried cheese was really really yummy!

Food is really good and tasty! the people running the place is really nice, the girls taking the order very friendly and food is always ready on time, price are very fair for what you get, the rice with "gandules" ohh God..so yummy!! "tembleque" is so delicious, Alcapurrias and empanadas...are bomb!! the whole menu is to die for!! ABSOLUTELY WORTHY THE VISIT♡

Good authentic Puerto Rican food

I had to wait a while for my order, and the servers seem overwhelmed. This places needs some management to get them organized and more effective. But the food was AMAZING. It was worth the wait and the slow service. I think next time I will order ahead.

Service is beyond excellent. The owner treats me like family as well the staff. They do more than ordinary restaurants to give you excellent service. Especially now that the business are closed for indoor dinning. They are taking every precautionary measure to provide safe, quality and measures to insure food is different container and no spreading of virus. Please keep that in mind. Our tips i think will barely pay for what they will be spending on container and napkins. Again the food is very delicious and diamond quality service here.

The food is so delicious! Especially the the stuffed chuleta and the chicken breast and surtido. El mofongo a little bit on the dry side but the tostones super crunchy. The flan is one of the best I have try! Service is ok.Thats why I'm giving 4 stars

Foods usually tasty; I moved to the area, brought my mom to taste the goods, they've been on point with their dishes. So it was sad the other day I called to take out, ofcourse, and no one answered. Did the number change?

Of course my island food delicious

I just like their food. I always get fantastic customer service there. The place is neat and the cashiers are always nice. Will come visit again.

This place is as close to the island as you can get. The rice with pigeon peas is exquisite and the Mofongo to die for. Come often and come hungry.

To be more precise, I'd give the place a 3.9 out of 5 stars. The food was good. I got the Cuban sandwich was great. I really liked it. The Puerto Rican rice (arroz con gandules) was good but I felt like it was lacking on something. Can't quite put my finger on it but it definitely was either missing something or just not too flavorful. My cousin makes some extremely great arroz con gandules and so its on the top of the list whenever I compare it with others. The service wasn't great. The gentleman came and gave us our menus then left without our drink order. Came back and asked what we wanted to drink and for our order. Came back to give us our food and never came back. No refills, no checking to see if everything was good. Nothing. We had to call him over for me to be able to place a to-go order then came back one last time to bring it to me. Didn't grab our plates until we called him over and still didn't give us refills.

Food is always great. Service excellent. Love the pastillios!!

Picked up my rice order today and it was so good loved the rice, can’t wait to go back and try a jibarito

This is the place for a nice caribean dinner or lunch. Very friendly staff, very clean facility and delicious food. The owner and chef came out to ask how everything was.Highly recomended! Will definately come back soon!!!

Great customer service and good Puerto Rican food. It's like visiting the island. Try something new, it has good coffees and beverages.

Food is ok. Only Puerto Rican in 20 mile radius!

Cant go wrong eating here if you want some good Puerto Rican food everything my wife or me have ever ordered has alway been very DELICIOUS cant wait to go back I love there chueleta y jamon with arroz y gandules its the best unlike my spelling

Great authentic food

Always great food. Pernil is my favorite. This is my go to when not in NY. Love it

Delicious food!! Hot, seasoned perfectly!! I love the pork chops, white rice, with kidney beans 😍 only thing I try to call to place an order no answer. This has happened a couple of times. I drove there they were opened. I don't get that. You won't be disappointed with whatever you order all of the food is awesome!!

The staff is so sweet. We loved our food. The restaurant was very clean. The food was delicious and authentic! Service was excellent and the cafe con leche was on point!

This restaurant is my preferred one. I go to many restaurants but to this one I constantly return again and again. The crew is very welcoming and the cuisine they cook is so delicious. I am always happy to have a nice meal in this place. I recommend this place with pleasure.
