It was all of our first time here. I ordered Chuleta Kan Kan (Tomahawk Pork Chop) w/ arroz con gandules. The pork fat edges were chewy (not crispy enough), but the meat was delicious! I loved the seasoning. Unfortunately my arroz con gandules didn't have that much pigeon peas in it. It was still good though. Hubby had steak & garlic chicken W/ rice & black beans, which he loved! Our friend had a double smash burger, which she liked. Service was good. I would come back here if I lived closer. Unfortunately, we live 45mins away. I recommend everyone try this place! If we do come back, I would love to try their Carne Frita Mofongo. read more

Pros: Nice garlic buttery taste of shrimp and mofongo. The beans were nice too. There were two starches and two proteins, so I had almost half for leftovers. 8.5/10 [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice clean cafe with polite servers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is both indoor and outdoor seating available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Adequate parking outside. It is on the end of a tan plaza on the opposite end from the Shamrocks pub. Cons The price on the menu for the mofongo shrimp bowl was $18. However, when inserting my card for the reader, it said "$20". There is a lot of starch in the mofongo bowl since there is rice and plantains .It would have been nice to see a little bit of veggies in there. Others have posted pictures with a side salad with their mofongo. Maybe I ordered the wrong item? Overall: a very good Boricua restaurant in temple terrace. read more

I had a fun, friendly and delicious experience here! I ordered dinner for two to go around 4pm because several people we know have recommended this Puerto Rican restaurant. I had actually been here a few weeks back on an early Sunday morning for a lively, free and interesting cars and coffee event. I was looking forward to a full dinner! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is spotless, has plenty of parking, and excellent engaging service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Gigi helped me order well and I asked her what her favorite appetizer was. Answer... the beef empanada! So, I ordered that too! Omi popped by as well we chatted a bit about the restaurant's origin story. Everything is made to order as this isn't fast food and that is more than fine with me! I relaxed at the bar and informed Gigi I'm not drinking alcohol. She offered a mocktail, of her own invention so I immediately said yes! She whipped up a beautiful drink which was also very tasty! I asked what was in it and I remember pineapple, strawberry and lemon wedges plus some other ingredients that I don't remember. It's stunning so I took a video! I asked what she called it and she explained "Omi's Sunshine Mocktail!" Perfecto! We ate the empanada on the way home and it was large, crunch and tasty! Our entrees, my lechon with salad, yellow rice and pigeon peas was well presented and yummy. I don't know what the sauce was or how it was supposed to be consumed so I just mixed it all together! Worked well for me! I will report later on the mofongo as we are full after a day of free birthday treats! Life is good with a local, excellent, well-respected and for good reason, authentic Puerto Rican restaurant! read more

Went for the first time yesterday. Absolutely delicious lunch. My husband has the double smash burger which was so big he couldn't finish it. I had the shrimp mofongo. The best I've had since being in Puerto Rico. The owner stopped and talked with us and was very pleasant. And our waitress was special as well. Although it's a bit of a drive we will be back. read more

So I'm quite bit jealous of the locals for having such an authentic neighborhood Puerto Rican spot. If I lived here I'd frequent it at least weekly. Once again our trusty Yelp app came to the rescue because of all the previous reviews and for that I thank you. Omi's Grill is on point folks!! The apps and the food were all tastefully authentic. No seriously everything was great. The bacalaitos, pastelillos, alcapuria wow! The mofongo - bangin! The chicharrón de pollo - Aye Dios Mío! And the white rice and beans - simply comforting. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. Got seated and ordered quickly. The food came out and we suddenly had a feast before us - literally. Great portions. The owner paid a visit and chatted with us. This place just hits the spot with its food! If you're in the area and want to a true PR dining experience look no further. I'll be back Omi. Till then keep doing your thing. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was good and the ambiance was also good it was early so there was not too many people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be back. Plenty of parking so not to worry. read more

Omi is a food truck at Water Avenue. Now they have their own place. They are graduate from food truck. I have visited them when they are food truck. I got the rotisserie chicken. This item is added when they have this store. The rotisserie chicken is delicious due to their marinated sauce. Very tasty. I also got lobster empanada and the beef alcapurrias. Both the appetizers are very special. If you visit this place, I also recommend try their pulpo in olive oil. read more

Don't have the jibaritos!!! We had it with the flank steak. The plantain was hard and dry. There was no flavor to this dish. The waitress said it comes with lettuce , tomatoes and potato sticks and a mayo ketchup sauce, we had a piece of wilted lettuce only. Very little sauce but no tomatoes or potato sticks. One in our party had the mofo go and it was good. Giving it 3 stars because the waitress was fantastic! read more

This place offers delicious Puerto Rican cuisine. We had tried surf and turf with flank steak and octopus salad. The octopus salad was really good. We had ordered this dish since they were food truck. The steak was not bad. I also like their garlic shrimp with Monfongo- big shrimps with rich, yummy, garlic sauce. And the mofongo is always good- tasty, big portion, and fresh. The rotisserie chicken is also my favorite -big bird, well-seasoned and juicy. I am a big fan of their salty fish biscuit -good size, good price, delicious and one of a kind. I didn't see any other place offers this. The dining area was OK. The service was OK. This place is a solid good eatery. read more

Food Ordered the Churrasco bowl. The meat was uneatable. Asked for mayo ketchup as they didn't offer any other condiment except for the home made hot sauce and it was more mayo than mayoketchup. The server only brought 1 napkin each and after serving the food never returned had to go to the bar to pay. I was expecting a different experience. Not returning. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely awful and disrespectful to the surrounding neighborhoods around the restaurant! Loud music on people's Sundays! Not mindful at all![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But they don't give a shit! I will never spend money there! I don't care how good the food may be no respect for others just what they want! read more

We came by to try a new restaurant for us. We were seated right away and Omi greeted us and brought our drinks and explained the menu and showed us some of his pictures. We decided on the Octopus Salad (8oz, $9.49) and Plantain Sandwich with chicken ($12.50) and the Mofongo with Flank Steak, rice and red beans (19.95). The octopus salad came in a nice plastic bowl with lid underneath if you did not finish it all. It was very good and we saved a bit to take home. The plantain sandwich with chicken was also very good, the chicken was nicely seasoned and tender. They also made my French fries without salt. The mufongo was also very good. The mixture of green and ripe plantains was tasty. The steak was very tender for being cut thin. Again the Mufongo was served in a dish with lid underneath, very convenient. We could not eat it all so packaged them u p to take home for dinner. Omi told us about the pig roast they do on Saturdays, which was the day before our visit. We asked if he had a pound we could purchase and he was very accommodating (1lb Lechon Solo $12.50) We did try a piece in the car and it was very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean and the service was amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Omi was very friendly and explained the menu so well. We will be back to try other things like the Crazy Plate and smash burger. read more

Wow! Just Wow! I belong to a social group that tries out different restaurants in the area. Today, we went to Omi's bar and grill. The place was already for 15 of us. The owner was so welcoming and attentive. He was friendly and gave us samples of things that were delicious. Great management and staff make all the difference, and Omi does it right. Now the food! The majority of us had the smashburger. It was spot on and probably the best burger I have ever had. Both the burger and fries were seasoned perfectly. I took half of mine home and am so glad I did because I was ready for flan. It didn't disappoint. Please give this hidden gem in Temple Terrace a try. It is great. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant plays the loudest most angry music during the weekends!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not giving a crap about the very close surrounding local neighborhoods.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I even called the restaurant myself and the owner did not give a crap! Omi will not be earning my business! Very upsetting! I would not have Given a one star but the website makes me! read more

My friend and I ate dinner at Omi's for the first time. The food is very good. I had the Mofongo bowl with flank steak. The meat was tender and tasty. My friend had the breaded chicken dish which was also good. Plenty of variety (chicken, meat and seafood). We plan on returning to try the smash burger. The passion fruit juice drink was quite refreshing. The owner, Omi, was very pleasant and entertaining. I highly recommend coming here for the tasty food and reasonable prices. read more

Food was fantastic and manager/owner was incredible nice. I ordered food and wanted mofongo and my food was brought out without mofongo. It was my fault, but the manager brought it out anyways. The mofongo was one of the best in Tampa, in my opinion. Definitely will go back. read more

If your hungry .be sure you eat before going because you will be waiting for a looong time. There are no waiters. The one who did come to take our order has zero people skills and zero customer service. When the food arrives with an attitude, it's served in takeaway boxes and plastic utensils that brake when you try to eat your food. Lol. We asked whats the reason for t? The answer was that "we are a delli service" which makes no sense since the whole.place is full of seating! Nor is this option added online. You will also not get an itemized bill. They just tell you what the total is! Father and Son need a lesson in customer service for a fact! Overall food was decent. But heavy on the salt. Btw if you want coffee bring your own. Sadly! Small business should put more effort on client care. Good reviews matter! read more

you absolutely need to stop by Omi's. This is the best Puerto rican restaurant in Tampa hands down- they also have burgers and rotisserie chicken too so there's never an issue bringing my friends here- there's something for everyone. The outside seating is very nice as well, especially on event nights! Flavor is out of this world, every dish I try has been delicious Great portions very friendly service You can modify a lot of the menu options too! I've been a regular for two months and I don't see myself stopping, this place is a star on the map! read more

Stopped here for an early dinner... had heard good things so decided to give it a try... ordered the Mofongo shrimp bowl so I could get rice and beans...it was OK....not as tasty as I have had elsewhere... mofongo was a little dry and no pork rinds that I could tell... the service is very friendly and attentive... cocktails are not expensive...also had the carne frita and it was mostly fat...ambiance is comfortable... read more
