Tropical Picken Chicken combines the best Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban flavors into one menu. Chefs spice up jerk chicken with habanero peppers, smother pork chops heavy with back fat in garlic and fry them, and mix fragrant cilantro and onion into arroz con pollo. They also create one of Puerto Rico's most famous dishes, mofongo. This stew-like concoction features mashed plantains and fillings such as gulf shrimp, steak, and fried pork rinds.

Along with the food, the eatery's atmosphere transports diners to tropical climes. Latin memorabilia dots the walls and salsa music adds a crackling energy to the air.
