    Top tier food and top tier southern service. Some of the most personal and kind service I've had in a long time.

    I don't know what I expected…read more But it wasn't what I walked into. The food is tasty, like homemade tasty. There is no effort at presentation. This place would fit better as a counter at a gas station. You pick from what they have available. The choice are varieties of pork, beef, or chicken. Many are sitting in vats if liquid and the meat is unseen near the bottom. It's expensive for what you get. You pay after you eat, which is weird. Each plate was 17 dollars (with a bottle of water) and it asks you to tip. That caught me off guard. The only service you get is the lady up front scooping the food on the plate. She doesn't check on you, she doesn't get your drinks, nothing. It's like McDonalds style service, which I wouldn't tip for. Yet I felt obligated since there was an option to tip. There are about four drink options. Water, Coke, Diet Pepsi, and Malt Goya. There is a large seating area, a TV, and a fish tank. But it is good. And the meat falls off the bones. The plantains wouldn't be any better in Miami (and I've had plantains many times in Miami). The rice is a generous helping. I was just hoping for more options, a better set up, and maybe table service. Maybe it's more of a lunch/takeout place. There was certainly more room in the food case. And they advertised a Cuban sandwich on the window, but it was no where in sight once inside. I'd go back if they added some greens to the menu. And if the price dropped a little. Or if I discover there really isn't any other tropical/Latin food anywhere else in Alaska.

I am so happy I found Topical Latin Food, it made me cry because it tastes just like home. The food is soooo good!!! Very authentic Spanish food.. thank you for a delicious meal!

    The CHICKEN ! This place knows how to cook or roast a…read morechicken. I was hungry after spending 3 hours at Bass Pro Shop and I looked up a local restaurant. This was the suggestion and it was well worth it. I ordered the 1/4 all white chicken and as soon as I bit i to it, the juices were coming out. My sides were fried yuca and congri. The portions are massive and you will leave very satisfied. The staff was great and they ensured that I liked their product. The owner/chef came out just to ask me what did I think about the food. I told him that it was GRRREAT! The restaurant is clean and while you can't eat inside they have one table outside of the store that you can sit. If you don't want to cook and you want a healthy option, come here and get the whole chicken. You will be glad that you did and you are helping a small business owner. Healthy and tasty chicken !

    I decided to come here during lunch break after remembering the great food I had when they took…read moreorders at a lunch cart in Bell's Nursery about a year ago on a summer weekend. Spinz is located at the very end of a small strip mall right next door to McDonald's on Mountain View Dr. The place is small and there is no seating area which would have been nice for a restaurant like this but hopefully that will be in the plans somewhere down the line. The place was busy when I came in around noon. A lot of working regulars as well as some military personnel from Elmendorf Air Force base were waiting patiently in line to place an order. I had placed an order through the Toaster Takeout app and had it scheduled to pick up at 12:15PM, but you would have to stand in line instead of going to a designated station for pickup. A pleasant surprise when I finally came up to the register was that they serve your pickup order by making it at a prep station adjacent to the registers. The wait was only a couple of minutes and this was better than having it sit on the counter and grow cold. I ordered the 1/4 Dark Rotisserie Chicken with Cilantro Mojo Chicken Salad (a Latin spin on chicken salad with cilantro, tri-colored peppers, garlic, mint, extra virgin olive oil, and the restaurant's house-made spice blend) and the Peperonata Criolla (sofrito with bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, onions, chilis, and assorted veggies). The Peperonata Criolla was absolutely delicious with the sofrito mixed in. The sofrito itself came on the side. I had initially mistook it as a side of salsa until I realized that it was supposed to be mixed in as part of the dish. Likewise, the Mojo Chicken was also very good. The garlic and the cilantro were very noticeable and a great complement with the other ingredients. The Rotisserie Chicken was very tender and moist after being brined and slow-cooked for 12 hours according to the restaurant's website. The Salsa Blanca I chose as the sauce was a great mild spice level option which focused more on flavor. There is a spicy sauce option like the Salsa Aji Amarilla or the Fry Sauce. Peruvian-style cuisine is something you don't see often here in Anchorage and as someone who has lived in Florida, this is badly needed for more versatile options in town. I can't finish this review without mentioning some of the other items on the menu and I will definitely be coming back in the near future to try them out. Some of the more noticeable items include full-rack or half-rack Baby Back Ribs with a choice of either a jerk marinade or house-smoked seasoned rub, the Spin of the Day, daily specials served throughout the week like the Lamb Sandwich (thin-sliced smoked lamb with garlic aioli, caramelized onions, and fennel on a French roll) served on Thursdays, White Chicken Chili with white beans, chilies, topped with onions and cilantro, and their signature Chicken Tacos (tomatoes, dried plums...that's different, olives, and onions with spices and their signature Spinz sauce. They also offer larger portions of meat at market price like Rib Roast, Leg of Lamb, and Smoked Turkey Breast for family dinners or office gatherings. Catering is also available and comes as a package selection of certain items on their menu. Hopefully, they can add a seating area and that will increase business considerably.

    I thought this place was ok. I had the pulled pork and it was lacking a little in the flavor…read moredepartment. The slaw and potato salad were a bit heavy with vintages for me. Some people may really enjoy them tho. I enjoyed the beans, good spice. They were busy so worth checking out and testing for yourself.

    I'm both from the South (at least geographically...) and way into BBQ…read more BBQ is mighty hard to find in Alaska. Southern BBQ (or as we call it in the South: "BBQ") is even harder to find. (most of it up here is more Texas-inspired) I was delighted to find another BBQ place on Yelp, more so a Southern on, even MORE so one with ZERO reviews! I called them up and ordered ahead of time. I got the ribs, which were under $20, a rarity for BBQ! This place occupies the space formerly occupied by Alleyway Grille (that delicious, late-night, stoner haute-cuisine extravaganza) You order and pickup food from the drive through. I called in ahead and they asked me if I wanted to pickup in "5 or 10 minutes?". I chose 5! Service was friendly and I took my food home to eat. The ribs were very good and served on a piece of white bread (BBQ bread ain't fancy, yo!). The sides were much better than some of the more recent BBQ pop-ups post-COVID. It was a perfect lunch-sized portion of everything. I'll definitely be giving them another try (brisket on Sundays only). Great food, I just wish they would add collard greens. So rare to find those up here!
