A vibrant taste of West-Central Africa right in Richardson! I had the pleasure of experiencing firsthand what so many others have raved about—Tropical Finger Licking truly lives up to the buzz.

Appropriately named takeout restaurant! The well seasoned ox tails had us licking our fingers. I wanted to try the goat surya but got there too late (around 3pm) and it was already sold out for the day. Snooze I lose. The jollof rice was flavorful. We also had a couple of the sandwiches, both chicken and beef. Both very good. It's inside a Valero gas station, there's a bench outside to sit on. There's no doubt this place is better suited for take-out, but it's definitely worth a stop. We'll be back :)

Tropical Finger Licking Restaurant is awesome! I had the goat suya and it was absolutely delicious. It was very tender for goat and super flavorful. The owner is also very friendly and kind! He clearly puts a lot of love into his food. I'll be coming back soon to have a beef suya sandwich!
