La Tropicana 434 Locust Street, Lawrence, KS 66044

"Took over 30 minutes to get 2 burritos, rice beans and an Ala carte taco. Food came out luke warm at best. Server said bottom of plates were warm and tried to give them back. Keep your food and keep our money. I won't be back and have never left a review before."

"My husband and I each ordered an entree and a Coke, plus Chile Con Queso with Chips to share (free chips and salsa are NOT provided). The total after tip ended up being over $45, which would have been fine if the food was any good and if we didn’t get food poisoning. The “queso” was obviously something from a jar that was just heated up. The food was bland and not even close to authentic. Within 10 minutes of leaving, my husband had to pull over twice on our way home so I could vomit. I really wanted to like this place. The only thing I got that was different from him was chicken. Overpriced for bland, mediocre food that we couldn’t even finish, topped off with food poisoning."

"My wife and I stopped in La Tropicana for the first time ever, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience for us. The food was delicious, the restaurant was beautiful, and the service was impeccable. Can't wait to go back to this historic Lawrence family owned and operated business!"

"Nice family owned restaurant with excellent food, generous portions and great prices! Home made chips were delicious, we had to get some to bring home to Illinois!"

"I love La Tropicana - good food, good Rita’s, cold beer, friendly service - you can’t go wrong. Secluded patio for outside dining. Just across the river from downtown Mass St - 60sec down the street from Johnny’s."
