"What a terrific find! We were craving pollo asado. So happy Tropicos Breeze popped up in our search and was within our area. Don't let the location comments deter you from trying this gem of a restaurant. It was very colorful and clean. Even the plates were a variety of fun colors. The service was excellent. A very friendly lady greeted us and made us feel very welcome. The server was a very attentive young man who was mature beyond his age. We made an Open Table reservation and did not have a problem. When was the last time you were served piping hot chips? You will get them here! Salsa. guac and pico de gallo (my favorite) were so fresh even at The tomatoes tasted like tomatoes not bland like so many places serve. We ate everything on the plate. The pollo asado was delicious and true to what asado should be. The citrusy marinade was light and full of flavor. It was a pounded thin breast that was soft and delicious. A lightly dressed salad provided a refreshing balance to the plate. Rice was moist, fluffy and unique with some nice herbs and diced veggies. Beans were not heavy with added fat. Did I say fresh at Everything was freshly bought and prepared. You can taste it immediately. I'm sure nothing sits around the kitchen for long. Portions seriously very generous. With the orders, we had enough left over to make burritos for lunches the next day. We made them right at the table and asked for some foil to wrap them. We could have made if we didn't eat so much. You could share the entrees but then you wouldn't have leftovers! I was visiting from the Southwest so I've had plenty of Mexican, Central and South American cuisine. Tropicos Breeze will be on my go to list for every Seattle trip now"

"We began with the Parihuela (Seafood Soup) priced at over $20. The broth was decent, but the other ingredients were lacking. The diced potatoes felt more like a filler than a genuine addition, which detracted from the dish’s overall concept. The calamari rings seemed prepackaged and typical of many Peruvian restaurants, coming off bland and chewy. Overall, the Parihuela was average, earning 3 stars. Next, we tried the Peruvian Paella for $20. Traditional paella, originating from Spain, involves a careful, time-consuming preparation with saffron and authentic components. This green variation would likely disappoint true paella fans, as rice dominated around 85% of the plate, with peas and carrots making up the small remainder. This dish fell short on every level, deserving 2.5 stars. The ceviche, at $18.50, was the highlight. Although there was some disagreement about whether the fish was truly sea bass, it stood out as the best of the three dishes, rating 3.5 stars. Lucuma Ice Cream, priced at $6 each, is common everywhere but was tasty and refreshing here, warranting 3 stars. Chicha Morada, a traditional purple corn drink, cost $3.50. The water was fresh, and the restrooms were well-maintained. Service was friendly, though notably, no Peruvian staff were present during our visit. Many diners seem to enjoy this spot, but it felt somewhat removed from authentic cuisine. Overall, I’d give the restaurant 3 stars."

"Starting with the atmosphere, we were seated outside right in front of the entrance door, so much so that our table acted as a doorstop to keep it open. Another family sat just behind a glass partition, making it feel like we were sharing the space uncomfortably. The service was disappointing—no one spoke enough English to communicate with my husband. They would address only me, completely ignoring him, even though I could have translated for them. Our server was friendly, but unfortunately, my husband was unable to ask any questions about the menu. As for the food, the fried cheese balls came with a sweet and sour sauce that felt out of place. Pairing an Asian-style sauce with Spanish cheese was odd and distracting. This mix didn’t fit the Italian, Cuban, and Spanish theme of the restaurant—it wasn’t fusion, just confusion. The spaghetti carbonara was underwhelming, lacking the black pepper specks that define the dish. It was just... meh. The $42 short rib was a major letdown. The entire dish was under-seasoned. The risotto was the worst part — some rice was al dente while other grains were overcooked to the point of splitting. The flavor was bland, like boiled rice in watery broth. The beef also needed more seasoning, and the mushroom sauce was either insufficient or not flavorful enough to compensate. This dish desperately needed salt. I couldn't finish it, and I won’t be returning to try other dishes."
