La Tropicana Mexican Market

About Us

We're La Tropicana Mexican Market, and we've been a Mexican grocery and restaurant here in Urbandale, IA, since 2015. We believe in offering our customers a full service experience and a community gathering place, with groceries, a full service meat counter, Hispanic bakery, liquor store and a restaurant. Jay started this business because his father had a grocery store in Mexico, and he wanted to bring that experience to the communities of Des Moines and Urbandale. We're looking forward to adding more locations to serve more customers in down town Des Moines, We'd like to personally invite you to stop by and try our full service meat counter, sample our unique Hispanic bakery, and enjoy a drink and some dinner on our patio, today!

This was a great authentic Mexican restaurant experience and I would go back many times. We actually bought one of their vending machines, they were great with service and helped load it! They saved our pick up team by letting them borrow the pallet Jack. Awesome service and they care about their customers.
