La Tropicana is a family-owned and operated Mexican restaurant known for its delicious, affordable, and generous portions of food. Customers praise the excellent food, friendly service, and a vibrant atmosphere filled with bright colors and beautiful decor. The restaurant features spicy homemade sauces and a lovely outdoor patio with plenty of seating, plants, lively pottery, and good shade, making it a popular spot for enjoying a meal on a nice evening. While the food is consistently fresh and made to order, some guests have noted that the restaurant does not serve regular frozen margaritas—only on the rocks— and that the frozen mango margarita is just okay. Additionally, there is a slight disappointment over the $6 charge for a basket of chips, which some find a bit high. Despite these minor issues, La Tropicana remains a favorite for many, offering a true Mexican vibe and a great place to relax and enjoy authentic dishes. Overall, it is considered a gem with fantastic food and a lively atmosphere.
