Lyn J., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on September 24th, said: "Great addition to the neighborhood! I went here for Sunday brunch, and was not disappointed. Their mimosas are delicious and made with fresh orange juice. The pupusas were great."
Yelper Mike H. added: “Love this restaurant! The carne asada molcajete and pupusas are amazing! Best new restaurant in Ballard, and food just as good if not better than their Aurora location.”
And Stephanie R. said: "I have gone to the Tropicos Breeze on Aurora for years, so I was nervous and excited about the Ballard location opening. They did not disappoint, and super friendly and the food is heavenly."
Tropicos Breeze is now open at 1744 NW Market St., so stop by to welcome the new business to the neighborhood.
