Stopped by for lunch on a recent trip to Big Bear. Food was really great. Fun atmosphere.
best place we ate on our vacation in big bear. excellent outdoor patio space overlooking the lake that's dog friendly, rad staff, and the food and drinks were delicious. the menu is large so make sure you look online ahead of time and plan, because all ordering is done at kiosks inside and with the line snaking behind you, you feel the pressure to pick quickly. service is super quick, our food and drinks were out fast and the atmosphere, decoration, and vibes were impeccable....read full review
The vibes are immaculate, the customer service from the dynamic duo of Ian and Kyle are the bees knees, best protein bowls on the mountain.

Tropicali is a family-run restaurant that transports guests to the islands with its fun atmosphere. The friendly and open staff shares their culture, ensuring a great eating experience. The food is good quality, with generous portions. The jerk chicken in the Rasta Bowl is particularly tender and flavorful, while the Malibu bowl with Tahiti sauce offers a unique poke-like experience with tofu. The smoothies are also a hit, and the island-style iced coffee is a favorite. Recently, Tropicali moved to a larger location that better accommodates crowds, featuring three computers for ordering, which makes service faster. The decor blends tropical Caribbean island vibes with a cute desert twist, making it enjoyable for families. Many guests praise the top-notch service, noting that staff go out of their way to make customers happy, even offering to wash a baby's bottle. The view is amazing, and the portion sizes are generous, especially with fish in the bowls. While some wish for more vegan options, the food remains tasty and satisfying. The welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and attentive service make Tropicali a highly recommended spot that is worth every penny.
