La Tropicana Mexican Market - Urbandale

There were very few tables to eat at this restaurant. It is attached to a Mexican market that seemed much busier than the restaurant itself. The margaritas did not have any alcohol in them. I ordered a shrimp burrito that unexpectedly came with mushrooms mixed in with the shrimp. My companion had a T-bone steak, which turned out to not actually be a T-bone. We did enjoy the chips with salsa and refried beans. Overall, we were unimpressed and probably won't be returning as the experience felt lackluster and the food was mediocre.

The portions at this restaurant are generous for the price and full of flavor! I ordered takeout and was pleased with how quickly my order was ready. The food was delicious! I will definitely be ordering from here again!

This restaurant was a great place to eat. My wife ordered the chicken fajitas plate and it was huge, definitely enough to share between two people. I tried the carne asada steak with paprika and although it was a bit tough, the flavor was good. The beans were real beans, not the powdered reconstituted kind, and my wife loved them. The Mexican rice was tasty and the chips and salsa were excellent. Overall, I was not disappointed by this place and will definitely be returning.

Never been here before, called in a to-go order because they had reasonable prices close to my house. Best decision ever! This is a clean, modest restaurant/grocery store set up with a bar. I ordered an all meat burrito that was packed with a variety of meat very flavorful, with just a little kick of spice, perfect! My wife (who is 100% Mexican) ordered a #1 vegetarian combo. She raved on the authenticity of the food, tastes fresh home made. Other local Mexican restaurants are good, but this is the champ. I'll be back for more will be trying other dinners. BTW portion size are very good, couldn't finish my burrito. : Definitely will be back again!

Awesome store, staff was friendly and helpful. My go to store for any specific dish I am making.
