    Bocaditos de Helado
    Kristine S.

    Hubby and I stopped by Tio Colo's to try the famous bocaditos de helado. These were a perfect late night dessert - not too sweet and good size. We tried the dulce de leche and guayaba. The fruit flavor was on the light side and could have been more flavorful. The sandwich part was a fluffy cake like texture topped with a little sugar. I would definitely recommend Tio Colo's bocaditos de helado!

    Really cute ice cream store in a strip mall. This was my first time trying a Cuban ice cream sandwich. I chose Guava flavor which was really good. The server was very nice. I look forward to trying other flavors another day.

    Coconut icecream

    So this has been on my radar for a while as I have never tried a Cuban pizza before or their speciality ice creams. I am married to a Cuban, but he is essentially a New Yorker having been a NYPD Lieutenant out there for many years. He told me "you won't particularly like the Cuban pizza" as he claims to know me, and he is also not bothered himself eithger about the Cuban style of pizza, preferring other alternatives. He never has ordered it or had it to my knowledge in the 6.5 years I have known him. Any way....... I came today to try both. I ordered the Guava pizza, as I was very curious as to what it was. I have had a Nutella pizza before and it took me a few tries to accept a sweet pizza, (but it did grow on me). The pizza is definitely NOT Italian that's for sure. I enjoyed it, but it is definitely not my fever, or as us Brits say "my cup of tea". There was nothing wrong with the pizza, the service or the establishment, I just prefer a thinner crispier Italian style pizza. From what I can muster Cuban pizza is more like a doughy thicker softer crust, more like a bread, and that to me is stodgy n heavy. I am very glad I sampled it though, and would not be opposed to trying it again, maybe a different one. Incidentally to be noted the pizza is made fresh and took about ten minutes and was piping hot. Then I tried their ice cream, which is a slice of ice cream sat between a sheet pan cake with a light sugar dusted on it and sealed in a nice package. They had load of flavours to choose from (approx 15 I would guess). I tried the coconut one, which was pleasant, but no wow factor for me. Again I would be happy to try another flavour. These are probably a fun way to get a stack for a party! (if you are a fan of course) The lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful and told me that it was originally her Fathers shop. I love the fact that it is a family business. So if you love Cuban style pizza, and Cuban style ice cream, this is surely your spot. Go try it out.

    Bocaditos flavors

    I heard about this place for a while and was in the area today so I stopped by for lunch. If you're not specifically looking for it, you'll pass right by it. It's on the corner of an industrial style strip mall. It's a small location and there are no tables to sit. It's strictly pick up and take out. I was surprised by that. Would love to see a table or two in the future. Cuban style pizza is not for everyone, but I really like it. I ordered the personal Hawaiian pizza. Bonus points for all the ham they top it with- and it's chopped in really small pieces. Of course I had to try the famous ice cream bocaditos and they did not disappoint. I got the mantecado and the almendra. They're really good. The outer cake portion is dusted with sugar. It was delicious. The woman behind the counter was friendly and the food did not take long to prepare. I don't think I was there more than 10 minutes. It was fresh and the pizza was steaming hot. If I'm in the area again I will definitely stop by to try some of the other ice cream flavors.

    Dulce de Leche Bocadito de Helado
    Lourdes D.

    I'm absolutely obsessed with the bocaditos de helado (aka Cuban ice cream sandwiches) from this spot. I've been coming here throughout the years, and it always hits. Today I tried the dulce de leche bocadito, which was dulce de leche ice cream sandwiched between two soft cookies dusted with sugar. I'm not doing the cookie portion justice because it's definitely something you gotta try to understand. They serve it tightly wrapped in parchment paper straight from the freezer, so you gotta give it just a few minutes to melt for it to be at it's peak deliciousness. Tio Colo's is located in an unassuming warehouse area in Hialeah, so you may get a little confused/lost thinking you're going the wrong way. Don't worry... you ain't. Plenty of parking out front!

    Chorizo Pizza
    Bryant R.

    Best Cuban pizza in Miami! I absolutely love their chorizo personal pizza, the crispy crust is what always get me! The personal pizza is perfect for one and it is only $6. Aside from the pizza they also have delicious ice cream sandwich which are $2. I always end up buying minimum 4 ice cream sandwich's and a personal pizza. It's a great spot, very small but perfect. Watch out Rey's pizza, Tio Colo has your numbers on pizza! -Growling Stomach approves this message

    Personal Hawaiian pizza
    Sergio F.

    Hidden away next to a hairsalon in Hialeah's warehouse district is a ice cream and Cuban pizza speakeasy. You see a counter, a few chairs, and a door. If you say hi to the sweet Cuban abuela at the counter and peek in, you'll see a pizza oven and a cart of ice cream sandwiches (aka Bocaditos). For the uninitiated, Cuban Pizza is similar to Chicago pizza, with more cheese and a fluffier crust but with the toppings on the pizza rather than baked in. I ordered my usual (yep Hawaiian) pizza, personal size and was sure to ask for extra sauce (and they didn't backcharge). The pizza had plenty of ham, pineapple and of course extra tomato sauce. The crust was fluffier than my usual thin crust but all of the taste was there. The shop is also known for "bocaditos" Ice cream sandwiches, and I ordered an orange and pineapple one. It was more of a sorbet, and not overly sweet, and served on a slightly toasted biscuit (tasted like the "base" of a poptart). Service was excellent for what's nominally a takeout spot. I didn't want to take my food home to avoid washing dishes and sharing with Luna (bad dog dad) and the hostess accomodated, letting me eat there.

    Great pizza spot in Hialeah. They are quick to make and the pizzas are quite tasty. My favorite was the personal pizza because it offered a crispy bottom without over burning. The only complaint is that the supreme option wasn't as crispy so I would recommend the personal sizes

    Solid four stars for Tio Colo! Best Cuban Pizza in Dade and Broward. Now that they have tables and chairs you can dine in. I have noticed this pizza taste best when eaten shorty after it comes out of the oven. Chorizo is the way to. 9/15/2018 Another trip to Tio Colo as I had the urge! Pizza was not as good as last time. The crust this time lacked that crunchy texture and the amount of chorizo was on the skimpy side. There seems to be some inconsistency, was not bad but certainly not as good as it has been. Writing it off to a bad day but if it continues I may take it down a notch.

    THE BEST PIZZA IN HIALEAH BY FAR...and let me tell you, I have tried all of it. I love this place,…read moreit's a cute mom and pop Italian restaurant, no frills but very nostalgic - good garlic bread. Looks like the 1980's in there but that adds to the charm. Try the DiPiazza Pasta and the baked ziti... yummy :)

    50 years in the making this Italian joint looks and feels right out of the 1960s. Old school menu…read morewith 1990 prices. You will not starve from anything you order. Everyone has garlic knots on tables that look and smell amazing. However, they're a little hard due to probably being the oven longer and using the same pizza dough. We started with a white pizza that generally was good. Ricotta was smothered then topped with mozzarella. No garlic, oregano or EVOO so it seemed little too careless what could have been stellar pie. Meatballs were huge covered in red sauce and were nicely seasoned. Pastas were a little under-seasoned, huge portions that pooled water. Could have been a drained more carefully or sauces thicker. A few more teaspoons of parsley or a bit of fresh grated Parmesan would have elevated them. Veal Parm entree on the menu was crispy but smothered with mozzarella. It was a generous portion but it would have been great to get more of the contrasted breaded texture. Mussels seemed older than necessary and had a strong aroma. Asiago Gnocchi was a huge predominantly white plate filled with probably 24-30 dumplings. Drink menu had a lot of creative cocktails. Prices were very reasonable and the place gets busy with groups and families. Service was great and quick and the old timers made you feel at home.

    The pizza is spectacular and Miami Slice itself is such a unique experience…read more You walk in and there are limited bar seats. It's like an omakase of pizza, however you tell your waitress what slices you'd like to try and they serve them up. You'll notice the menu is limited, but that's a good thing. They're doing what they do best and it really is THAT good. If you're in Miami, I highly recommend this spot as one of Miami's must visits.

    My sister ordered the Mushroom Truffle pizza and her boyfriend La Salsera. I only had a few bites…read moreof my sister's order, and I gotta say, I'm not much that impressed :/ This was a 30 minute drive away from our house and I don't think it's worth making. If there were more locations, I think they'd be redeemed. It was light in the sauce. The cheese was sharp and nice! The breading was CRISP and greasy (in a good way). I'd say they excel in that category. There aren't many toppings to choose from, many points lost from me in that regard. The slice portion feels on par with what you pay for, it's not overpriced for what it's worth. Also, there was no line and very little wait time contrary to what I expected it to be, according to other reports. Overall, I think I need to try it again, maybe on those Monday Chef curated nights and see if they are more extraordinary.
