so I have eaten here in the past "I think" but haven't written a review. This time I ordered arroz con gandules, Amarillos y pernil. I also ordered an empanadilla de carne. So let's start with parking, you can park behind the truck, if you have a clean car, chances of it getting dusty is high because the road is not paved, but there is parking. They also have covered seating if you want to eat your meal there. Their menu have ample of choices, and the staff there are very friendly. So, I know I have eaten here before, and I liked it, this time, my experience was not as good as before. So the empanadilla was great, the meat was very flavorful and the dough was nice and crispy, not greasy. However, the pernil had no flavor, at all, and the "arroz con gandules" was not as tasteful either. The Amarillos were cooked just right. Because I have eaten here before and I'm sure I enjoyed their food before, I'm giving it a 4 start vs a 3 star. But today, sadly, I did not get what I was looking for, although the food did look amazing.

The alcapurias were salty. While we sat at the table to eat, the cars entering and leaving raised dust that covered our faces.

My order: chicken, tostones with garlic, pickled bananas and Kola champagne.I received TOSTONES YES GARLIC, THAT WAS NOT PICKLED GUINEO, THEY WERE PASSED GUINEOS IN WATER WITHOUT ANY FLAVOR AND COCA COLA NOT KOLA CHAMPAGNE. They should pay a little more attention to the orders and they shouldn't say pickled banana because they don't have anything pickled and I didn't eat them. ??♀️Well that was my experience ??♀️

Food is delicious and the pineapple smoothie is great. Service is slow but it was very busy the day we went and a little pricey for a food truck. I would definitely recommend the chicken and rice !

The worst food I have eaten in Tampa, and expensive.
We love this place. We come here regularly and they do the best empanadas! We normally get take out but they have a covered seated area. It's always busy so be prepared for a bit of a wait for your food.

The food is avarage. And in 4 food orders my family found long hairs on 2 of the plates. This is the second time I've eaten at this place and it has disappointed me both times. The food area is on rocks and it feels like you are eating in the courtyard of a house but the tables are full of dust since they are next to a road.It has a lot of potential but my 2 experiences have been bad.
