Reviews for La Tropicana Mexican Market in Urbandale, IA
This was a pretty good place to eat. My wife got the chicken fajitas plate & it was huge, definitely enough for two people to... split. I got the carne asada steak with peppers & onions. It was a bit tough but the flavor was good. The beans are actual beans& not the powdered reconstituted paste & my wife absolutely loved them. The Mexican rice was good & their chips & salsa wereexcellent. I definitely was not disappointed with this place, definitely going back! Read more
A true hole in the wall place with outstanding food. It's in a strip mall so not conspicuous from the main street. I had the... tilapia grilled with shrimp and hubby had the steak fajitas. The portions were huge and the food was delightful. The restaurantis attached to a grocery store so the vegetables and the fish was very fresh. We will definitely go back again. The service wasvery kind and awesome. Read more
Very few booths for dining. This is attached to a Mexican market that looked alot more busy than restaurant. Margheritas had no... alcohol in them. I got a shrimp burrito...who puts mushrooms in with the shrimp,??? My husband got a tbone steak dish...steakwas not a tbone!!! We did like the chips served with salsa and refried beans. Probably never going back here as unmemorable andfood just muh! Read more

Great food and nice outdoor dining area. The outdoor dining area was large with nice shade from trees surrounding the area. Very... different flavors than some of the other Mexican restaurants in the area, in a good way. The food was very flavorful and theportions were quite large. The chips and salsa also came with beans as an appetizer. The drinks were delicious and we enjoyed aPina Colada. I'll definitely be coming back. Read more
One of the best authentic Mexican food around Des Moines.
Food was eh. Chips were too hard, the salsa wasn't fresh...it came from a jar. Service was good except when it came to... check...they didn't bring my change back to table so I'm thinking they thought they would keep it as a tip. I definitely won'tbe returning. Read more
