3522 12th Street, NE (Tropicana Eatery) Via Google Street View
A recent liquor license application says that the former Tropicana Eatery space at 3522 12th St, NE is going to become Ricky’s Cuban-American Restaurant:

All I know is I am tired of seeing every renovation is just a gut job, then a unoriginal...
I love Bacio pizza in Bloomingdale! They don't offer delivery but great neighborhood...
311? I think I found the flower thief. Suspect is helmeted male, hopped up on apple...
I tried their kabob last weekend, it was pretty good and a lot of food for the price....
I'm not jackie, you troll.
You're probably the only person in the world who thinks...
mmm…Cuban food. Hopefully it will be more delicious and less political than the Cuban Corner in Rockville.
Luuuuuuuucy! I’m coming!
(Going to have to bring the wife, son, and all his matenal relatives to give it the Cuban test.)
Dang it – misposted.

Meh, I can already tell it’s going to be mediocre and overpriced.
And they could really use some more vegetarian options.
Congrats on your fortune telling, did you also predict the earthquake?
also, their beer list will suck.
Stupid comment, how can you tell that they are going to be overpriced and mediocre? The only info that there is here is that “they are coming soon”. At least wait until they open to judge!
I’m fairly certain CTK was making a joke.
We can hope…
Brookland Cafe has a liquor license already
Ah sorry a change to their license:
“Expansion of the dining room seating in quest room next to current seating area to add 30 seats (no construction).
Add Summer Garden with 25 seats.
Add Sidewalk Café with 20 seats.”
