" Having tried a myriad of taco spots, I can confidently say La Tropicana Co is now at the top of my list! The concept and execution are simple but so effective. The tacos I had were big and delicious! The house-made salsa took them to another level. While the structure itself is nothing fancy, it gives a casual vibe that meshes well with the outdoor eating space. Will be back soon for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I live for taco Fridays at La Tropicana! The outdoor seating combined with the mouth-watering tacos makes for a great experience every week. The freshness of the ingredients really impresses me. I love that they stick to just tacos, keeping it simple and efficient. My only complaint would be the occasional difficulty in getting a parking spot. But that's a minor issue when the tacos are this good! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! You can tell that they are serious about serving authentic Mexican tacos. Everything from the tortillas to the salsa was on point. I can't recommend the tacos al pastor enough. I've visited several times, and they never disappoint. The only complaint I have is that the outdoor seating can be a bit uncomfortable during a hot day. Still, the food makes up for it. I encourage everyone to visit! You won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place may be small, but they serve some big flavors! The taco choices are fantastic and I appreciate that they offer authentic recipes. After visiting several times, I've tried almost all their meats, and they’ve all been top-notch. One thing I do recommend is to bring friends and share a variety for the full experience! The only note is that seating can be a premium during busy times. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! La Tropicana is my go-to spot for tacos. The fresh ingredients stand out, and you can really taste the difference. The atmosphere is family-friendly and laid-back, perfect for enjoying a casual meal. I particularly enjoy the freshness of their agua frescas; they have such a unique flavor. The only downside I've experienced is parking; sometimes it's a bit difficult to find a spot. However, that won't stop me from returning for more incredible tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing the buzz, I finally checked out La Tropicana, and I'm so glad I did. The tacos are delicious, and you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients used. The only downside was the wait time—it seems like they can get quite busy on the weekends. Nonetheless, the wait was worth it, and I enjoyed a couple of tacos while sipping on a refreshing horchata. They could improve on service a bit, but the tacos more than made up for it. I will definitely be returning to try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews and while the tacos were good, they didn’t quite meet the hype for me. They are definitely better than mainstream Mexican chains, but I found the flavors to be a little lacking. Service was friendly but quite slow, which added to the frustration. I think I just may have gone in on an off day, so I won't write them off just yet. I do plan on giving them another shot since I've read so many great things from others! " (*Curated Review*)
