“This little restaurant was close to our hotel so I read the reviews. Truly authentic Mexican food. Be forewarned…you will have a wait bc the owner and chef, Tino, does everything!! He’s awesome…and the food is amazing! Just be patient…and enjoy! Also, he serves anyone with Down’s or Autism for free. Wonderful man!“
“IVE been coming there since i moved here 3 yrs ago and have never had a bad meal or experience!! I try to order other things but the Cubans are to damn good lol Manny and Maria are awesome!! Do yourself a favor and try it!!Dietary restrictions: They'll do whatever is necessaryParking: Plenty and Free“
“All outdoor patio seating in a relaxing environment. Plenty of shade from the landscape and also a small screened in deck area.The chicken I found to be good, but a tad dry. I'd likely not opt for the 1/4 chicken again as it was just okay due to being on the dry side.The surprise was the sausage sandwich. The Choripan. Wow! Might just be the best sausage sandwich I ever had. The combination of a quality link on the perfect texture of bread with the toppings, amazing. I will certainly return for the Choripan (sausage sandwich).On an interesting side note. After dark, several rats run around the exterior of the screened in patio area. That's interesting to watch as one zooms by every 10 minutes. Hopefully they remain outside and not in the food prep areas!Overall. 4 star service and environment. 3 star chicken. 5 star Choripan sausage.“
“Very tasty! Ordered ahead and had a pleasant pickup experience. I had the jackfruit sandwich and as a vegetarian I highly recommend!!! Ohhhhh and get the chocolate banana empanada, you’ll love it. Vegetarian options: Jackfruit sandwich ?“
“Love everything, the empanadas are too divine!! The amount of dough, the flavor of the stew were perfect, they really are like eating them in Venezuela, and the attention was 1000 percent. I recommend all the empanadas, we are visiting from “
“Not many gluten free options, but the food is well seasoned and cooked. Service is friendly and likable. The atmosphere on the water gives a true Florida vibe.Parking: Ample size parking lot.Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is kid friendly with a dock to walk out on.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for accessibility.“
“Had an amazing experience at El Tipico Criollo in Tampa! The ambiance is welcoming and the service is top-notch. The highlight was definitely the mofongo - it was flavorful, perfectly prepared, and just outstanding. Also tried a few other dishes, all of which were delicious. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Latin cuisine. A must-visit!Google. Sorry no pics, I ate all the food.“
“Tens across the board from us.Fantastic food, great service, great outdoor shaded ambiance, great service….Very respectable to have a place create an amazing low price lunch option. Who else has a $5.99 lunch special with amazing food? Pretty much nobody else. Respect!!“
“Stopped in on a rainy Sunday and left as a very happy family. Me and my wife loved every bit of it. I would give them 10/10 and will definitely be back. The staff was awesome. The food was a very generous amount and everything was fresh. I had the chicken chalupa entre and my wife had a shredded beef wrap entre. Both delicious and best part they even have bogo entrees with the online coupon. Can’t go wrong and I can’t wait to go back!!!“
“Great food and service! The Peruvian food is outstanding as I am sure all the menu items. They serve Peruvian, Colombian and Mexican. Don’t miss this great little place for a delectable meal!Parking: In a large strip mall with plenty of parking options.“
“Cute, family style eatery. The food and service were fantastic, my partner and I both tasted each other’s meals and were very happy with what we got. The sauces especially were quite nice and there is a French baker right next door to enjoy dessert at. There is a lot of indoor seating, and a few outdoor seats for when the weather is nice.“
“I have no hesitation in expressing that you can find the best Cuban Pizza at Farandulero Pizza, I sell from Lakeland FL to eat here in Tampa, super recommended, it should be noted that apart from the food, it is the pleasant attention that is worth a lot in a place. Thank you guys.“
“Their food used to be great and you used to actually taste the flare in their food. But it seems like they had a kitchen staff change. As you can taste the big difference (.i.e. - sancocho, empanadas, bandeja paisa etc.). The lack of flavor, the food doesn't seem as fresh and appealing...it's not how it used to be and I've been coming here for years.“
“The food was good but there were several items on the drive thru menu that I was told they don't sell...not that they were out of that item, but that It's not available at the drive thru....one was a can of Mountain Dew. I don't understand why this is the case?? Maybe it was a language barrier? The person was kind of rude to me until my fiancé spoke with them in Spanish. I'm not opposed to trying this place again and I will update my review if I have a better experience.“
“We just tried this place for a quick bite and it was surprisingly better than expected! The outdoor patio was beautiful, cozy and relaxing. Service was excellent, food was exceptionally good, soup, salad, appetizer, non-alcoholic mocktails, all delicious - we'll be back to try some unusual delicious sounding dishes!“
