“This is the best place to take your kids. We didn't know about this, but they were having kids eat free! I think this was during the weekend or Sunday. We bought all sorts of stuff though. I really enjoyed my Burrito. The chips are amazing because you get to go get your own sauce. Hot sauce, not so hot sauce, guacamole, all different types. Will definitely be back!”

“La Tropicana Mexican Restaurant is a true gem. From the moment we walked in, the service was remarkably fast and attentive, making us feel instantly welcome. But the real highlight was the food - bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The experience didn't end there; we were delighted to discover an attached market where we couldn't resist grabbing some cookies and dessert to enjoy at home, extending the deliciousness of our visit.”

“Might be biased but I absolutely love this place. I’ve been to many different Pancheros and this one just always seems to hit the spot. The place itself is a little dry but I guess we have to be the ones to entertain ourselves sometimes or else you might just be boring. 9.7/10 definitely recommend!!”

“I just ate here. The employee who took my order was friendly, prompt and very sweet. My food came out quickly fresh and hot. The kitchen staff were working together well and I couldn't hear any fighting or inappropriate language. The restaurant was clean and well kept. Last week I went to McDonald's on nw urbandale dr and the experience was just the opposite. They need to take a lesson from this Taco John's on customer service and fresh food!”

The grand prize includes two game tickets, hotel accommodations, flight vouchers, and a $300 Visa gift card. A hundred runner-up winners each receive a $25 El Pollo Loco gift card.
