4.6/5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Rich Vander Klok
It was my first time dining at La Tropicana. I stopped in for a late lunch. This is an excellent family-run restaurant with authentic Mexican food. The ambience is homey and comfortable. The menu features a variety of dishes, including beef, chicken, seafood (primarily shrimp), and pork options. I had the chilaquiles with slightly spicy red sauce, as it was the only thing on the menu that might be vegetarian. They also offer them with spicy red sauce or green sauce. Like most other dishes, it came with rice and refried beans. My food was delicious! I look forward to stopping in again with my wife so she can try it.

Best place I've been to in a long time with good, authentic Mexican food. The music was great, the employees very nice and helpful. I got the torta, a friend got the spicy burrito, and another got the fajitas. We will be back again soon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Cathy Potter
We ate there for the first time tonight. I had a burrito. It was delicious, authentic, full of flavor, and pleasing to the eye. I will definitely return again. This is a new restaurant that I predict will grow in popularity quickly.

Very good mexican food, the best tripa tacos I've had in Michigan!. The service is very good and friendly from the entire staff.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Melissa Rivera
The food was tasty. My husband's torta was amazing. I was only disappointed that the tortillas for my tacos weren't very warm, but the flavor was good. We got ice cream for dessert, and mine tasted slightly freezer burnt.
