Punta Cana Tropical Grill Hiring Staff Ahead of Silver Spring Opening

Construction at Punta Cana Tropical Grill is again on track and progressing toward opening in Montgomery Hills.

In September, we reported that construction on the Dominican quick-service restaurant, which is taking over the former Tropics Ice Cream & Jerk location at 9324 Georgia Ave., had stalled due to a Stop Work Order issued by the county’s Department of Permitting Services.

Tropics Ice Cream & Jerk permanently closed last year.

“As soon as I saw the post about it closing, I went for it! It’s a busy road, and I know people will stop here to try it out,” owner Margarita Rodriguez told The MoCo Show last December. “Silver Spring has a unique, diverse community with an appetite for Dominican dishes. I understand how hard it is to stop for food and get good food, so I came up with the idea to open a fast-food Dominican carryout.”

Although an opening timeline has not been announced, the restaurant is currently accepting applications for food servers and counter staff.
