The place itself is tucked away into Lakewood and offers a great atmosphere with an indoor/outdoor flow. The ambiance is nice, they have good music playing in the background not too loud and not too quiet. We went in the evening, so all the lights were turned on which made the experience enjoyable. All the food was really flavorful, and they had a ton of options for cocktails. The complimentary sauces are phenomenal and definitely take the dishes to the next level! Unfortunately, we had to wait over an hour for our food to come out and despite being told appetizers would be quick they took awhile. Server was kind and apologetic and explained they had a new training chef although it felt others around us were getting their food. I do wish they would have given us a complimentary appetizer or made one free of charge as the wait total was almost 1.5 hours. Overall, this place is a really great stop and I'm glad to have it nearby. I have heard the service and speed is usually efficient so maybe this was just a one night thing. Definitely stop in as they have a large menu with bold flavor and a great atmosphere.

But one day out of nowhere I decided to try the MOFONGO and since then my husband and I go every two weeks to have it! The detail they put into preparing them!!!! -The mofongo ball flavor is amazing. They even add cuerito!!! -You can request the meat on the side or stuffed. We always get it with Carne Frita. Every bite is delicious! -They add salad too help with the guilt of eating it all You can call ahead and order to go.

I asked a friend what I should get and he recommended the chorizo empanada and guava dessert. Unfortunately, at around noon, most of the desserts were not in stock, including the guava dessert, but I was able to get a chorizo empanada as well as one Columbiana empanada. I got these to-go to eat later at home. There was a bit of a wait, as it was lunchtime and likely filled with busy medical professionals coming from Metro Health across the street. The inside kind of reminds me of a dive bar - messy, with very busy staff. So my empanadas were $3.50 each and were smaller than I would expect for that price. They were also VERY greasy! My to-go container was absolutely soaked with grease. I did enjoy the taste of the empanadas although I couldn't tell which one was which. One supposedly had cilantro and onions but I couldn't tell. If I am in the area again and hungry, I'll pick up an empanada, but what I really want to try is that guava dessert or one of their absolutely MASSIVE slices of cake!

Don't let the security bars over the door fool you. I like the food hall atmosphere that's more and more popular nowadays, and while Las Tienditas doesn't have the prime retail space of Ohio City Galley or flashy signage, it's got character and soul to make up for it. How can you not be uplifted by the cheerful Latin American music playing through the speakers? As Georgina G. mentions, parking on the residential street right off W 25th was easy to find. Unfortunately, the business hours make it difficult for anyone but locals and people who work in the area to visit except on Saturdays. Las Tienditas itself has a pretty open floor plan, a central room filled with seven good sized tables and a small stage-like area against a wall. And a COUCH. Everything is open, communal, familia-oriented. Let your kids run free. The first round of businesses to occupy the space are Cafe Social Latinoamericano, Pura Cepa, and Ortiz Art Drafts Designs. All the business owners are extraordinarily friendly, hardworking, and bilingual - fear not if you don't know any Spanish beyond "gracias"! At Cafe Social, you'll get caffeine and delicious pasteles served on beautiful hand-crafted ceramics. My Latte was nothing special (perhaps a little too milky), but the Pastel de Parchita (passionfruit) was yummy. Pura Ceda is a one-woman show of Puerto Rican comfort food, mainly soups and sandwiches. I would highly recommend any soup that owner/chef Haguit Marrero makes, it'll make your Cleveland winter that much more bearable. I didn't get much time to browse the Ortiz Art store, but they had some cool snapback hats and other apparel on display. For me, coffee and tables instantly make me want to park my butt down and camp for a while, and luckily the building has free Wi-Fi to support my cafe nomad lifestyle. There aren't many outlets around (unless you want to sit on the stage), so make sure you have enough battery to last or bring an external battery. I'm looking forward to seeing these businesses grow and for future events at Las Tienditas!

The food business serves mainly sandwiches heavy on the meat. I order an egg sandwich that was huge and tasted good. Nothing to seriously write home about. The cafe was sooooo good. The coffee was perfect and I had the milk cake (i don't know the proper name...lol) and it was so freaking delicious. I definitely recommend going in for a coffee break.

The parking lot may be unkept and the exterior a tad rough, but once inside the sounds and smell let you know the food is going to be amazing. We stopped for dinner on our way to the zoo, and we were pleasantly surprised. The menu is simple and authentic. The plantains were cooked perfectly, a little char was the perfect balance to the sweetness, likely the best in the area. I also had the vegan empanadas, don't let vegan fool you, it was rich in flavor and the potato exterior was incredible. I had to force myself to stop eating so I could have leftovers. And the cabbage slaw was sweet, hot and grilled. You can place an order to go at the counter or eat in house with table service, the choice is yours. We will definitely be back.
