The Best Restaurants to Try in the LA Mountains This Summer | Eater LA

"A Tiki-themed addition to Big Bear with excellent service, Tropicali serves teriyaki barbecue chicken, a Caribbean-style barbacoa beef dish, and six different types of poke. Go for the Pele bowl with wild-caught ahi tuna served over rice, plenty of spice, onions, and cucumber. The smoothies are refreshing and highly tropical. Order one of the Belgian waffles to share. Both are tropical and layered with flavors not found in the region. If you have kids, they’ll love walking through the shark mouth entry. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Mona Holmes
