    The food here is very good. From his chicken dishes to the sides all taste great. All dishes are made to order only with fresh ingredients. The pollo milanese is awesome. Fresh chicken breast topped with a house red sauce and melted cheese. I always add grilled onions! The chicken sandwich is great as well. You can also get it with a fried egg on top. Recommend you stop by and give this place a try..

    Great service from a new business. I drive by everyday and had to try it. $8 for a 9 inch Cuban and fries is a good deal. It was tasty and filling, I really enjoyed it. He's open 4-11 and he's parked outside a smoke shop. I suggest trying the Cuban it was well made, plus it looked and tasted amazing. I want to give a five star review so more people will try it out. Good food, good service and a reasonable price. It will not disappoint!!!

    Best Cuban in Tampa! It was delicious and authentic. The chef is amazing, but not one for many words! I'm coming back for the paella next!

    I ate at this food truck for the first time because my church had a mini food truck lunch rally. I…read moreordered the Chicken Shewarma, which is like a pita or gyro. It was very tasty and a good amount of food. The only thing I would change about my experience would be for the fries to be advertised as a side so that we'd know how much they cost, since the price wasn't listed on the menu. When I grabbed some ketchup packets for my fries, the packets had dirt on them which was a bit weird. Maybe I got the bottom of the batch or something. But over all the quality of the food was great, very tasty, and I'd order it again! The pita was very warm and soft.

    Up until recently, I've actually had a huge aversion to food trucks, but that has certainly…read morechanged. It may have been the fact that at my first job out of high school, folks called the truck that swung by the "roach coach." Conversely, it may be my binge watching of food network and their Food Truck Rally that has changed my mind. Either way, I'm very pleased with the fact that I've begun exploring these great little mobile sources of food pleasure. This food truck swung by work recently, and I have to admit I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Middle East cuisine. The young woman taking the order was very patient and explained all the different plates, the variations available, and what came on each. Her top recommendation came for the beef shawarma and I told her I'd take it. One thing that folks have to realize is that these are mobile kitchens with very limited space. In today's age of fast food that seems to be sitting under a food warmer and being prepared long before you order, there is an unrealistic expectation that a food truck will spit your order out in a minute or two. I played on my phone for a while and was delighted when my name was called. The meat was perfectly seasoned and there was no skimping on the portions. The liberal amount of sauce on top added to the tastiness (and most definitely the messiness) of this dish. I'm hoping this food truck comes back soon. Not only for a chance to try some other of their tasty dishes, but also because of the friendliness of the woman at the window, and for how (relatively) quickly my food was served.

    The bang bang chicken at Shiso Crispy didn't just steal my attention. It robbed me, took my wallet,…read moreand I'd gladly help it escape. First off, the crunch is so loud it could qualify as a sound effect in an action movie. I took one bite and half expected someone to yell "CUT!" The chicken itself is juicy, but let's be honest it's really just a vehicle for that bang bang sauce, which tastes like sweet, spicy, and "text your ex you've changed" all rolled into one. I told myself I'd share. That was a lie. A bold faced, shameless lie. The plate hit the table and suddenly I turned into a territorial raccoon guarding its last meal. By the end, my fingers were sticky, my dignity was gone, and I was seriously considering ordering a second round like I hadn't just embarrassed myself in public.

This is a new dish, if you can even call it one. Literally two slices of tuna, no side of sauce which it's supposed to have, a bunch of old cabbage for filling (even though the new container is half the size as it is), and what could be nothing else but soggy potato chips (yes, literally they put in chips, I don't even know how else to put it except it literally had chips in it). Pathetic. Completely pathetic.

This is better! A non-assuming place on Hillsborough, plenty of parking, we sat in a booth before the place filled up. Ordered and had a lovely meal! I had the churasco and my friend had the filet. I would come back any day... Funny thing, I saw they have a food truck and it was parked in a parking lot not far from me, but a little far from the restaraunt... I might be able to go sooner rather than later! Not sure the food truck has a separate page, but when I visit it, I will either update this review or get a chance to review their other page. Good food! And the service was really nice as well. Gave me a chance to practice my spanish, which is extra rusty!

The sweet corn is not sweet, it is more like street corn with spices added. It was good but the description needs to be changed so there is no confusion. Black beans and the garlic rice were spit on good. I personally did not like the Fried Yuca but everyone else loved it (2 orders) so maybe don't trust my taste buds in that. I ordered the 1lb of meat and only ate 1/2. Everything was well seasoned and cooked to my desired temperature. The ambiance was casual so don't expect to have a romantic dinner. They have inside and outside seating but are located right in Hillsborough Ave so outside will be a little noisy depending on the time of day. The service staff was spit on. Very attentive.
