I ordered the TRIPLETA from ven La ca in Titusville, and let me just say--this is the kind of…read moresandwich that makes you pause mid-bite and appreciate what you're eating. From the first bite, the flavors hit perfectly. The meats were seasoned and cooked just right, layered with fresh toppings that brought balance and texture to every mouthful. There's a richness to it, but it never feels overwhelming--just straight-up satisfying comfort food done right. Now, I'll be honest--the bread was slightly on the soggy side. But here's the thing... it didn't take away from the experience. If anything, it soaked up all that flavor, and once you leaned into it, it worked. Every bite still delivered. Pairing it with a Coco Rico? That was the move. The coconut sweetness cut through the savory flavors of the sandwich perfectly--it's one of those combinations you don't realize you need until you try it. Even though I ordered pickup, the experience still stood out. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and gave off that genuine "you're family here" vibe that you can't fake. 10/10--absolutely recommend. This is the kind of spot you come back too an enjoy great food

We decided to have dinner when they had soulfood Sunday. The original waitress we had was cool and friendly, but the 2nd was not friendly, never took a drink order, never told us what was still available. We orginally ordered yams, after 15/20 of waiting we were told there weren't any left and what would we like to replace it with, but luckily they discovered they had enough for at least one serving. The peel & eat shrimp is literally too salty to eat. Following this dinner we had full blown headaches and suspect it was from this salty dish that we could not finish. The catfish was cooked well, and seasoned well, yet also salty along with the collard greens. The mac was good and balanced, the bite with some catfish was perfect. I was happy they did bring out the yams because they were made perfectly, soft, not too sweet and complimented every part of the meal. The smothered porkchops, a bit too smothered for our liking in a salty gravy. Trying to eat the porkchop itself was a challenge not worth much because you may be getting fatty piece. My wife, being the kind person she is, decided to try dessert. She has been looking for real banana pudding, what they had left was red velvet cake. It was pretty good, not much to say on it honestly I was beyond done. That said, we will not be returning. I really wanted a po boy, but its not worth getting a headache over due to high sodium

As soon as you enter the main dining hall, you see families in big tables eating & laughing. The atmosphere is very cozy. We were led to the patio with tall & regular tables. More groups of people talking loudly, like a family on a picnic. They all seemed to know each other! We were welcomed by the bubbly Lexi. We know we found a gem! As soon as we were seated, plantain chips & dip arrived, complimentary appetizers! We started our meal with The Hola! Sampler: Cuban-style tamale, ground beef empandas, fried shrimp, and ham croquettes served with sriracha mayo and guava BBQ dipping sauce. Our quad ordered two Cuban-style Churrasco. It was seared steak topped with the house-made chimichurri sauce served with white rice & black beans and plantains. The meat was so tender, we cut it with a butter knife. Perfect portion for two! Delicious! Both dishes tasted like it was a family recipe. The postres, desserts were the perfect end to this meal: cheese cake with guava drizzle & tres leche cake. Thank you to the Yelpers who reviewed this restaurant. It was an unexpected delight. When you visit, ask for Lexi for a great dining experience, too!

The food is good. I like the shrimp and grits. But sometimes it can get a bit noisy. When possible…read moreI like to be seated in the dining area on the right when you walk in the door. But they only use that section when they are busy. You are away from the bar and the TVs. I wonder if people mind others listening to their conversation, because they certainly talk at a volume like they don't care. So the food is quite good but the service is hit or miss and the ambiance is what I find in most sports bars. But hey, Cajun food isn't easy to find in Titusville. If you want Cajun food this is a good place. 4 1/4 stars

Don't let the simplicity of this little restaurant fool you -- the food was delicious!…read more We stopped at El Buzo for lunch while in Cocoa Beach and were pleasantly surprised. Nothing fancy, just really good, fresh food made to order. One of the things I loved learning about this place is that the chef actually goes fishing, and what he catches can become part of the menu. That made the experience even more special, especially because you could really taste the freshness of the fish. I had the fried fish fillet with rice, fries, and salad, and it was delicious. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked, and I loved that it wasn't overloaded with seasoning. It had just enough to bring out its natural flavor. We also tried the chicken stir-fry, which was very flavorful. Everything we ordered was prepared fresh at the moment, and the portions were generous. And if you're wondering how much I liked it... just look at the picture of my empty plate. Definitely a little hidden gem in Cocoa Beach. We'll be back!

Típico Café Latino (Típico Latino Restaurant), 566 Barton Boulevard, Rockledge, Florida- 5-Stars…read more Although the Hispanic population in Brevard County as of 2022 is a mere 11.6%, their restaurants must make up 35% of the restaurant inventory. Now that I have dined at so many Latin establishments, I feel I am starting to discern the good, the bad, and the horrific. Recently I found myself in Rockledge walking into the unassuming Tipico Café Latino. The place didn't look like much to me at first, and since the most obvious definition of "típico" in English means "typical," I was concerned. Later when I found out that "típico" when referring to food is more about how such a dish represents the most famous local flavor of a region, the name made perfect sense. The food prepared here is the real deal and it's truly outstanding. Don't let the ambiance of this small saloon deter you. Elise is the owner and personally sees to the comfort of her guests. She and her chef are from the Dominican Republic, and their website states that Dominican cuisine has been influenced by indigenous Dominicans as well as settlers from Spain, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Canary Islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti (next door on the shared island of Hispaniola), and Hungary. They further indicate that flavor contributions have been made by Sephardic Jews, slaves brought to the Republic by the French in the 17th Century, and freed Blacks who fled from the United States in the 19th Century. From the Menú Típica Latino, I ordered the Típico Fried Platter, and I strongly suggest you do the same. It has everything: Fried Pork, Fried Chicken, Longaniza (Spanish sausage), Salami, Fried Cheese, Casava, and Tostones. Amazing! As the Dominican Republic is only 57 miles southeast of Cuba, it is not surprising that there are also a few expressly classic Cuban dishes on the menu. One of these is the Ropa Vieja/ Shredded Stewed Beef and Vegetables. The rice accompanying this "típica" Cuban dish was cooked perfectly. The beef itself was so tender, its juices so flavorful, that for a moment I experienced zoanthropy, becoming one of Pavlov's dogs salivating just remembering this experience. I pull myself together, remembering I am a human man, and wipe the slobber off my jowls with a towel. THIS IS A BIG BOY MUST TRY! The Big Boy says, "Go see Elise, try the Típico Fried Platter, and, oh yeah, bring your appetite."
