So this has become one of my favorite places in DTSP. Some nights they have a live DJ and they…read morealways bring a vibe. The drinks are always amazing. Usually we catch our now favorite bartender Javon and he makes a mean Lemon Lychee! I also love that they have hookah here. It seems like there aren't many places in the area that have hookah and sometimes I don't feel like driving to Tampa for it. I STILL haven't had a chance to try the food yet, but I've had friends tell me all the time that the food is fire. I'll keep coming back for sure.

Menu says Afro Latin Caribbean fusion! Ok let's go to the islands!!…read more Tiki Taka Good juju Conch filled with conch and tostones on the menu to start! Nice vibe, comfy window seating Food and drinks we ordered were delish- beef on the tostones was a good choice good flavor, tostones ok, a bit chewy for me great vibe- just limited choices Music and hookah too

The food was just OK, but the check made me angry. We had a group of 9 people for dinner. When…read morethe check came, I noticed that they had added a 20% tip because of a large party. That's standard so, OK. The server didn't mention it though. I gave my credit card to pay and when the copy came back to sign, it had an extra line for ANOTHER tip with a helpful section to calculate 18%, 20% etc. This total included the other tip that was added, but did not list it. When I said to the server "wasn't the tip already added in?" she looked kind of guilty and admitted that it was. I feel like this was really deceptive and I won't go back to a restaurant that I feel was trying to get me to double tip by deceptive practices. If you go there, be forewarned.

Probably the best fresh fish ceviche I've ever had. It's wonderful. Where the place falls short, is…read morethe customer service. It looks like they do a huge takeout/door dash business that seems to take priority over dining in. The ceviche was delicious enough to overcome 2 star customer service. It's delicious. It's the only thing I had (weekend special) I passed on the tostones...fried food hates me

Ate dinner here while on vacation in St. Petersburg and it did not disappoint. Wow, everything was…read moregreat start to finish. We were staying downtown St. Pete, so this location was great. It is right across from the park and was walking distance from our hotel. The restaurant has both outdoor and indoor seating. We opted for indoor and the inside of the restaurant is dark, calming and polished. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our server had great recommendations and was very attentive. The food was amazing! Everything was so flavorful and fresh. It flags this on the menu as well, but the paella take about 40mins to make, so order it early. It is definitely worth the wait!

I love this place. I never have a bad experience here…read more Started with a Paloma that was very tasty. Ordered the pequillos rellenos, a fav of mine, always delicious. Also the queso de cabra, rich and spicy. A terrific mix of tastes on your pallette. Switched to a nice red wine and got the lamb chops, Mediterranean style, with feta, dill and eggplant cabonata...WOW...off the charts good. For dessert I got a nice smokey flavorful drink, which was on their website, but not the menu. Although missing a couple garnished it was still very enjoyable. (Sorry, forgot the name) Had a wonderful bartender who served me too

Justin was our weight person charming personality very helpful. Service was wonderful. And then the food oh my gosh, I haven't had good food like this since I lived out in Tempe Arizona. The chile Riano's we got the cheese ones were the absolute best I've had and I want to say 30 years. The guacamole was perfect. the sauces were wonderful. The chips were hot and thick just like they should be there was nothing wrong with anything. The actual audience was very conducive for the type of restaurant. It was quiet and comfortable, but it was a happy place to enjoy a meal. Thank you again red Mesa.

Ambiance was great, loved the latin music they were playing and their decorations are super cute!

It's been a few times that we've eaten at La Mordida, a Clearwater- based Peruvian-Colombian…read morerestaurant ( US 19 & 66th street ) . We have not been disappointed ever. The ample space is welcoming and decorated with an Andean - Latino ambience paired with soft piped- music . There is a restaurant section from which you can see the kitchen to the side. A complete bar is strategically placed behind a slightly- raised stage where live music can be enjoyed while trying any of the interesting cocktails , beers Or spirits ! On the other side one can find the bakery- souvenir shop where they sell many Colombian & Peruvian cakes, pastries and candies - yes it's THAT big Now down to the main event: food portions are generous ( we always end up bringing home some boxes ) and everything I have tried so far is so delicious , from the array of tropical juices , appetizers to share ( or not !) , main entrees , sides and desserts . There is something for everyone or you can plan to split! I enjoy the sides of maduros and the tostones. Food and service are perfect - it's no wonder La Mordida is here to stay !! Bravo !!.

Well now... I suppose there are evenings that just sort of tip their hat to you and say, "Remember…read morethis one." Tonight was one of those--with just a little salt in the air and a soft island rhythm tapping its foot in the background. I sat down at Pepo's and was served a plate of roasted pork resting there like it knew it belonged--tender, patient, and full of purpose--laid over a bed of warm yellow rice. There were chopped white onions scattered about, honest and bright, alongside black beans that tasted like they'd been simmering all afternoon without a single worry in the world. And then there was the yucca. Not firm or stubborn--no sir. It had been cooked long enough to give up its starch and relax a bit, turning soft and generous, almost like stewed potatoes that had wandered too close to butter and garlic and decided to stay awhile. Comforting in that slow, unhurried way... the kind that makes you lean back in your chair and exhale. But it was that pork... well, that pork had a story. A quiet one. The gentle punch of Cuban mojo--sour oranges and garlic shaking hands just right--bringing along sunshine, music, and that unmistakable feeling that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. Not flashy. Just honest. Like a good song played at the right volume. Truth be told, the meal was so good that before I left, I ordered a Cuban sandwich to go, along with a Cuban tamale--already looking forward to lunch tomorrow while flying back toward the Northeast, tracing the Florida coastline below. I imagine it'll taste just as good at altitude, maybe even better, with a little daydreaming and a smile. You know, meals like this don't just feed you. They put you at ease. And I can tell you this much--I'll be back one day. Because when food makes you feel this welcome, you don't forget it. You just carry it with you... maybe humming a tune as you go.
