The food at La Tropicana was delicious and the service was excellent, creating a wonderful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home, and I especially enjoyed the fresh guacamole.

Best Mexican food in town. Great nachos and chicken-spinach enchiladas. Wonderful service.
We've been coming here for 13 years and have always had fast service, and the food has always been fantastic.
Staff is friendly.
The restaurant is clean.
Parking is great.
But the meals ... the MEALS ... can't get any better than La Tropicana!

Horrible service...Party of 6 went to eat here, summary of our experience:

1. No separating checks...waitress rolled eyes when we paid with different credit cards
2. With party of 6, waitress came back once as she knew we had to pay 18% tip
3. No free chips and salsa
4. "Can I get a beef and chicken sub for the two chicken tacos" --> NO
5. No refills on chips and salsa if you buy them
6. Staff all had attitudes when even the most minor request asked of them.

Avoid!!
