HOW EVERYTHING STARTED...
2019
DREAMING SINCE KIDS
Since their school days, Paco and Andrés formed an unwavering bond, establishing a foundation for strong brotherhood, friendship, and family values. Growing up alongside the same group of friends, their connection strengthened over the years through shared childhood experiences.
2002
2019
CHASING DREAMS
United by their passion for caribbean food, Paco and Andres set out on a culinary venture driven by innovation. Bored with ordinary traditional food, they aimed to make something special—an experience that would change how we eat today.
FIRST STORE
Nothing was easy at first. 9 out of 10 saying it would fail, they pressed on, turning dreams reality. Unwavering commitment led to the first spot in Hato Rey. In a small 16x8 trailer, they beat the odds to make their visionary concept a big success.
DOORS OPEN
On December 15, 2019, Trópiko officially opened after completing the entire menu. It was past 9 p.m., even though the opening announcement was at 7 p.m. Andrés opened the ventile door for orders, and to our surprise, there were already 50 people in line excited to try our food. That moment marked the beginning of something truly extraordinary.
NOTHING IS STOPPING US
In just 3 months of operation, they encountered two earthquakes and a pandemic. Against all odds, they persevered, reinforcing their concept, making adjustments, and boosting sales. Despite challenges, the restaurant became one of the most notable brands in 2021.
