So delicious, super fresh. The line was long and I was scared we’d be waiting forever but we got through it in maybe 10 minutes and our food came out super fast after. Don’t let that line scare you! The vibes are great, I love the decor.
My daughter found this place online, and I went there on my way out of town. As others have said, the vibe, service, and energy are fun & upbeat! I got there at 11:45am, the line was long but still inside the building. It took about 30 minutes to reach the three ordering kiosks, and only about 10 minutes to get my food & drink. I ordered the Malibu (vegan) poke bowl and the Tropisical smoothie - both were tasty and refreshing. I enjoyed sitting on the big sunny patio. There's a great view of the lake. The only recommendation for these upbeat owners is to have a "no cilantro" button, and a description of the sauce options when ordering... the sauce names are not intuitive. Keep up the great work Tropicali!
Worth the hype on social media! The poke was so fresh and flavorful. Their new location has amazing views of the lake and a super fun shark at the entrance as you walk in. The decor is modern and hip and the restaurant feels cozy. It’s completely self-serve which is the only downside for us although not a huge deal if you know what to do. It was our first time so we were a bit lost but the employees were very nice and helpful. Honestly want to come back to Big Bear just for the food here!
This place was a mad house when we pulled up. A line of like 30 people waiting outside. We waited in line for 30 min to order and it only took about 10 min for us to get our food. Food was definitely worth the wait! Highly recommend! Worth trying if you’re visiting Big Bear and you’re not in a rush.
