I've been here several times, and I've never had a bad meal. It's become my go-to place for coffee and authentic Colombian bakery goods. The portions are incredibly generous, and the value you get for such high-quality, top-notch food is honestly an understatement. If you're looking for authentic Colombian food, great service, generous portions, and a place where the owner genuinely cares about his customers, this is definitely worth checking out. I highly recommend it!

Came here for the best of both worlds, chicken and seafood/fish…read more This place has chicken in their name so they better have good chicken. And yes their chicken did not disappoint. It was moist, flavorful and tasty. Ordered a half chicken and it comes with fries and salad. No changing those sides either. That's a bummer. Another place in the area has options for sides. But my husband enjoyed his chicken so that's good. I ordered Peruvian ceviche. It's my fave and it did not disappoint either, it was so big that I had it for three meals so I def got my money's worth. It comes with fish and shrimp and sweet potato and the soft corn and peanuts. It's very traditional and it is served in lime acid type base. It's so good and refreshing. We came in after being outside in the heat and this was perfect for me. The location is older but it's nice inside and a good amount of tables for groups and non groups. Our service was great and everyone was very welcoming.

Very good pollo a la brasa…read more This review is for delivery. I ordered via DoorDash, and the food arrived on time, hot, and reasonably well-packaged. We ordered a whole chicken, some white rice, french fries, sweet potato fries, plantains, and salad. The portions were good for the price. The fries were pretty soggy on arrival (they should have punched holes in the containers to help release the steam), but they did crisp up well in the air fryer. I thought the pollo was pretty good. Still pretty juicy, well-seasoned. Excellent yellow sauce, and the green sauce had a good kick. I think I prefer Cuenelli's, but the best restaurant is the open restaurant, and Cuenelli's closes too early. The chicken also keeps well and makes for an awesome sandwich the next day. I'll happily order from them again when I'm craving pollo a la brasa outside of Cuenelli's opening hours.

Being Colombian, I fancy myself a good critic of our cuisine. This one hit the spot. The staff was very friendly. Our server approached us and clearly only spoke Spanish. Even though I'm perfectly fluent in Spanish, it's a bit offputting when you have company that does not speak the language. Always makes for awkward ordering. We had the Bandeja Paisa, Ajiaco, and empanadas and chorizo as appetizers. All were delicious. I'd stop by again while in the area.

After my Puerto Rican coworker insisted I visit this truck, we decided to make a special visit. I…read morecouldn't visualize seeing the truck in the past, but he insisted it was there - on the left hand side when heading to Tampa, AFTER the bait-and-tackle truck. We almost missed it. We managed to screech our way in and wandered up to the truck. The first thing that we noticed was the music that was playing was ridiculously loud, we had a difficult time standing by the menu to decide what to order. There is a single table outside but that's it, you'll probably end up eating in your car. There were 4 of us, so we ordered a variety of things and were able to taste each others. As a run down for what we got: Tostones - Unsalted, and dry. They gave us salt packets, but they were too moist to use. The sauce they came with was delicious, it's the same sauce that comes with everything. Crab and Beef Empanandillas - The crab reminded me somewhat of a deviled crab cake, but obviously a different outside and less spicy. It was really delicious. The beef was ridiculous though. Loved every bite of it, and each of us fought over it. Skirt Steak - This was probably the tastiest thing we ordered. It's skirt steak, so it wasn't precisely tender but the flavor was amazing. It came with rice and beans which were incredible. It also came with a "salad" but I'm hard pressed to call it that. Onion Steak - This one is more than enough for two people. It was a huge serving of meat, sauteed onions and of course rice and beans. It was okay, we were all spoiled by the skirt steak. Grilled Chicken Mofongo - We weren't exactly sure what to expect, but we ordered it. Mofongo is a plantain dish, but again it was really dry and kinda bland. We only took a few bites of it. The chicken was decent, I liked it a lot but I seemed to be the only one. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be, but I guess I feel like there should be some sort of sauce to accompany it. Overall - if we were in the area and hungry, we would definitely stop again for the skirt steak or empanadillas, but we wouldn't send someone there or go out of our way. Perhaps we're just too American!

Located by the side streets off Courtney Campbell Bridge, this food truck dishes out some fine…read morePuerto Rican dishes. Sit on the plastic tables and chairs loosely set by the truck, or eat out of your car. Regardless Sabor del Caribe certainly does bring the street vendor feel to your gastronomical experience. The menu is not a lengthy extravaganza, however every item, they do served, is a plateful of delicious goodies. The Empanadas are piping hot, perfectly balanced fried without excess grease and stuffed full of your choice of meat - pork or beef. The pork plate is served with tender chunks of pork - which at the first taste exude aromas and tenderness only - if you had a Puerto Rican grandma, would cook. The rice and beans that accompany are steeped in equal aromatics and explosive taste on every bite. The prices are reasonable and balance the quality of food. They folks operating the truck have heavy accents but are very friendly to order to and will even explain the dishes to you. During my visit, I was the only non-spanish speaking patron but I did not feel out of place or alienated. The other patrons struck up a conversation with me that was wonderful. At the end I left feeling I just spent the 30 min at a true by the busy road street vendor offering a whimsy for your tastebuds.
