Tropicalia Brazilian Grill

I enjoyed the Brazilian BBQ dishes I've had here. Seating outside was nice, as it is a nice area. I think Bossa Nova has better Brazilian, but this was good for sure. more

Super cozy little restaurant in the Los Feliz area. The food is really yummy and authentically Brazillian. The staff is friendly and attentive. ... more

I highly recommend this Brazilian restaurant! I went there last evening, I was really hungry, and when I got there with my husband, I was skeptical, because the place is small and very simple, and then I said, it's Ok, I'm not looking for nothing fancy anyway, but the place is so warm and cozy I felt like in my home in Brazil. The waitress came to us with a big and beautiful smile; the owner came to us like they know us from long time already, so nice and soft. And the food came less than 5 min, and I'm telling you, the food was delicious, OMG! Oh and the price great! No expensive at all. They full our plate with food, I could eat all! Well I gave 5 starts but this restaurant deserves 10 or 100 stars, believe me. Congratulations to the staff, the owner and of course to the chef. more

Great food and excellent wine bar!! Amazing wine list, one of the best in the city. I love the vibe! Pros: Amazing wine list, great prices. Cons: Sometimes crowded. more

I LOVE THIS PLACE, the food here is so mouth watering with great flavor. I am here all the time with friends or my bf. We both can't get enough of the Biefe Tropicalia dish, the portions are excellent, the atmosphere is charming and intimate. The staff is always pleasant without any attitude. The beer selection is excellent, but you have to try the sangria. Very good. This is the real deal that all the locals know and so should you! Pros: The wine and cheese bar that's connected. Cons: sometimes parking is difficult more

Being a vegetarian, I usually stear clear of Brazilian restaurants, but decided to give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The veggie platter is scrumptious - the sauteed veggies were very flavorful, and it came w/ polenta, salsa, rice, beans, and a delicious cilantro sauce. I would also try the salads w/out meat. Looked really good. Pros: Food Cons: Parking more

Great service and experience thanks to a great vibe and warmth of the decor. Renato is a great host and manager. Try sampling the wines that are suggested to you and they will not disappoint. Get there early as the location is small which also adds quite well to the excellent ambience. BTW - they have beer too! Pros: Great staff more

I've been in the neighborhood for a long time and grew up eating at Farafalla next door. When this place opened I was very excited because it's by the same people and they did not disappoint. I have to say that this place is one of the best in the area. The food is incredible and very well priced... the burger and the skirt steak sandwich are insane! The chicken dish (with a salad) is one of the tastiest chicken I've ever had. The ribs and the pork are both bursting with favor! And the special ""green"" sauce is out of this world! In short, it pretty much seems that everything on the menu is awesome. Pros: Food, service and price... full package Cons: Zero more

If you want over-priced, very basic while still trying to be Brazilian food, eat here. Pros: close to home Cons: everything else about the place more

My parents went here on Christmas eve. Its a small place, but has great food and a large wine selection. We had the Braziribs, which are cooked for 4 hours, and they were incredibly tender. We also tried a few other dishes that were amazing. Pros: Cheap food, totally filling and delicious Cons: Small dining room more

Tried out this place with some friends with mixed results. I wanted to get something different so ordered the boneless pork short ribs braised for hours with ""fried"" polenta and some powder. the rib meat was succulent and tender, reminiscent of osso bucco and korean galbijjim (braised short ribs in a soy/garlic/sugar sauce). the polenta wasn't exactly fried. it was an unseasoned blob hidden under all that juicy rib meat. We had empanadas as appetizers that I thought were sub-par. The beef one had chunks of tough beef with no flavor and the cheese one exploded with an overdose of cheese upon cutting it open -- way too cheesy and heavy. I wished they offered brazilian cocktails but they only had wine and beer as alcohol. wine selection was decent and the argentine malbec I had was pretty good. The sides were good. We had plaintains and fried yuca, and both were solid. My only complaint is that the yuca portion could be more generous. There must have been like 6 pieces of fried yuca on our plate. My friends had the fish in a heavy cream sauce that looked suspect and the other two had the standard beef and chicken tropicalia. the beef seemed to be more popular than the chicken. atmosphere was not that great but I suppose people would go to the adjacent bar for that. service was spotty. One of my biggest pet peeves is when we get the check before we even ask for it. that's outright rude, unless it's closing time and the wait staff needs to go home, which wasn't the case this time. I may return if i'm in the area, but not go out of my way. Pros: good pork ribs, plaintains, yuca, wine list Cons: spotty service, soso ambience, bad empanadas and small sides' portions more

My boyfriend & I found this restaurant during the summer. While the food is fresh and unique, the service more

especially great when you start relaxing and they chase you out because they are closing. Pros: beer, polent (should be fried) Cons: service, service, service, warming light in kitchen (when on) is a sure tan. more

This is a small, cozy restaurant with a great ambience. Their Bife Tropicalia is succulent and the sauce that comes with it is perfectly tangy. Their sides are also very tasty. Excellent customer service. Always my first suggestion when people want dinner! Pros: food, service, prices, wine Cons: sometimes, street parking can be hard to find more

Delicious food at a very reasonable price. Service is prompt and friendly, and the portions are usually big enough to split into two meals. Pros: Delicious food, great location Cons: Would like to see more beer choices on the menu more

Went here hungry on a Saturday night and did not leave disappointed. Portion size was very large, could probably split entrees with another person if you are not starving. We got the Chicken and Bief Tropicalia and both were excellent. The house Cabernet was honestly the best house wine I have had at a restaurant that I can remember (and at $5.50 not a bad price). I might skip the sangria and the tropicalia salad, but the food, service, and experience overall was excellent. more

This is a new small restaurant in Los Feliz on Hillhurst, just below Vinoteca and Farfalla. Pros: Food and price Cons: Service more

We stumbled upon this place while walking off hangovers. The empanadas were like fine pastry and my short ribs were buttery and perfectly spiced. I can't wait to recover from my weekend, so I can go back and drink wine! I think I saw that bottles of the house wines start at about 17 bucks. Pros: Flavor!, Cozy, Full Bar Cons: Non For a Sunday more
