How could this place not have at least 4 stars!?!? Food was great, I had the squid with tostones, and the staff was friendly! Definitely on my list of spots to est next time I'm in Clear Water! read more

Great service and food was very tasty. The place is very small and extremely busy (we went on a Sunday evening), so there might be a wait. They desperately need to expand and have more tables. Overall, great dining experience. read more

WEPAA RESTAURANT - Churrasco con arroz con gandules - Puerto Rican Near Me - Largo, Florida

Just ate here for the first time. First off servicecwas awful, 2 hours to get our food. Then the orders came out at all different times for all 4 of us. On too of that 2 of the orders were wrong and had to be sent back. Then the bill was wrong and had to be corrected. Our apology was that tgey are short staffed and very busy. Maybe they ought to hire more help? stop trying ti do take out & eat in if tgey are short staffed or trim down their menu. Either way no excuse. Will not be returning there. read more

I was in town for work and wanted some authentic food from home. I had the mofongo with biftec and it was great. The flavors are true to home. And the mofongo was not dry at all. I will definitely be back. read more

Excited to see a PR restaurant open in my neighborhood! Our first visit was a major disappointment. The menu was not clear and although I've eaten a lot of Puerto Rican food over the years, I did not recognize most of the dishes represented on the menu. I did see mofongo which is a favorite of mine. The mofongo came out with steak and was extremely hard and no sauce. The meat was small bits of steak that was over cooked and inedible. We left our food that was awful but at least they refunded our meal price. We won't be returning. read more

Best Puerto Rican food I've found in the area. Large portions, and the food was delicious. I will definitely come back. I had the roast pork, rice and peas, and sweet plantains. It was excellent! read more

SO DISAPPOINTED! Today was our first stop for this restaurant & we were SO excited! We placed an order of 3 Cubanos to go at 11:52 am exactly (on my receipt) & there was only 1 table seated & finishing their lunch. That's it. Nothing else was happening at lunch crunch in this place. Our order was never made. We watched food for the freshly sat table start to come out and asked at 12:15 pm if our simple sandwiches were ready. We were told it would be ANOTHER 20 minutes because a table had come in 10 minutes AFTER us & was being taken care of first. Um, What? We watched 2 fresh sandwiches come out to that table - but not our little to go order? We asked for a refund, these are $12 sandwiches each after all, and we were told by the annoyed server/cashier to CALL AHEAD NEXT TIME. (The refund took another 10 minutes) Again, What? First time in, last time in! Horrible way to treat any customer. As soon as they learned we could actually speak Spanish, they were all of a sudden willing to hustle. No gracias! Serve ALL your customers equal from the start. More than disappointed - feel very disrespected. read more

My wife accidentally order from this wepa restaurant and they will not give her a refund. Obviously they need the 10.00 more than we do. They told her to call the police if she didn't like it. I would give no stars but you can't post if you don't. Karma coming your way. read more

I've been buying from them for quite a while now, but my last few orders has been nothing but a huge disappointment. Since the whole pandemic start it I decided to give it a try and order using Uber. First, I doubt they read the orders appropriately. The first time I order a trifongo with NO pork in it (chicharrón), come to find out my wife's trifongo was full of pork (she is Vegan) so that was it for her, she didn't want to order from them ever again. Second time, I said, well let me give them one more chance, so I order using Uber again, and sure enough, they either chose to ignore the comments on the order or idk what then. I cancelled the corn fritters and want it instead a Garlic Cassava. After I sent the order I noticed the cancelled the wrong item, left the corn fritters and cancelled my Cassava, so I tried calling them over 15 times with no luck, kept ringing Busy. I asked the girl picking up my food to talk to them and she told me the person who helped her was ver unfriendly and did not wanted to help her with my order. When the food arrived at my home, I asked for extra MayoKetchup just to find out they send NONE at all. Plus the stewed beans had barely no beans and more liquid. Very disappointed and they just lost a client. read more

Había venido anterior mente y era delicioso esta última vez que tragamos un grupo de 19 personas pedimos unas órdenes para llevar por que no había espacio, luego de eso cambiamos de decisión y decidimos quedarnos cuando pedimos platos y cubiertos para comer aquí, resulta ser que nos lo negaron por que habíamos pedido para llevar, además de esperar 1:30 para ordenar! Terrible servicio, nada como antes además una soda $4.00 dólares... NO LOS RECOMIENDO! Todo es terrible que triste venir de una hora de camino para esto! read more

We were so excited to try out this local Puerto Rican restaurant. We were quickly disappointed. We ordered stuffed fried plantains with steak; I have never had Hispanic food that lacked so much flavor! Once our entrees came, the disappointment continued. We continued to see a lack of those true and authentic Latin flavors in our food. To top it all off, the service was incredibly slow; near the end of our meal it seemed as if they had forgotten about us. Definitely would not recommend - especially for someone who is familiar with Latin food. read more

This is authentic and fantastic Puerto Rican food. Highly recommend. Make sure to try the Alcapurria

Ordered fried pork (carne frita) and it was not fully cooked, meat was pink. I was not able to eat it. The mofongo was ok. Will not be coming back to this restaurant. read more

Great food, always fresh. Their conch salad is delicious. Wonderful empanadas and mix rice. The beers are always ice cold and delicious.

The food here is authentic and they have all of the Puerto Rican standards AND comfort food - blood sausage by the pound; empanadas stuffed with whatever you comfort desires and more. The menu is expansive. We ordered from the fixed price lunch menu - nice bargain. We both chose rice/pigeon peas (gandules). My strong preference here is extra long grain rice cooked a little on the dry side where it separates out on the plate easily. Weppa does short grained rice and a little wet - a strong preference for many Latinos who are as passionate about their style as I am about mine. Be that as it may, Weppa rice is beautifully seasoned with a striking orange color ham essence and a little wet. Think of it was well - a little on the sushi rice side and it eats really well. The pernil (pork shoulder) was delicious and obviously slow cooked with care and the pulled into thin strips seasoned with drippings and served scoop-like. Again, preference. We take ours in large pieces off the bone but the pulled style is also outstanding. We had the yuca nicely cooked with a garlic/oil seasoning. This root vegetable is really hard to cook right and these folks hit it out of the park - soft and tasty. As close as Puerto Ricans get to mashed potatoes. We had tostones (fried green plantain) which were really authentic. We also had the carne frita - seasoned and deep fried chunks of pork. This stuff is also difficult to prepare and cook and they did an admirable job. I topped my meal with a coconut soda. The place is very accessible and very simple. Typical of a small family owned restaurant on the island. Proudly decorated in the - I Love Puerto Rico style that suits us fine. Little PR flags come with meal. The only drawback, one of my pet peeves, is that waiter served and then went to the back and wasn't keeping an eye out for customers. Customers are your bread and butter folks - eyes on the prize people! We will definitely be back for some of that comfort food and more. Highly recommend and great intro to Puerto Rican cuisine folks - take the dive. read more

Second time here and same thing, we waited for over 20 minutes and didn't even take a drink order. So we got up and left, she claimed to be busy but there's was a max of 5 tables seated and she was going back and forth with nothing in her hands. Very disappointing read more

Food was okay, definitely not the best though. It is however, overpriced for the portions given. Service started out okay, but our waiter did not come back to our table after we were given our food. We had to wait 20 for us to be given the check after we ask. Definitely not coming back again. read more

The food here is AWESOME! You have to try it. I get the pork with rice and beans and salad. All I can say is WOW! - TJ

They suck!!!! Not Puerto Rican cuisine at all!!! I haven't been there in a long time so hopefully they went back to the original fresh cooking they did when they first opened up!! read more

A must go to if you are looking for Puerto Rican food. Found this place searching for Puerto Rican food in Yelp and have to say not disappointed!! I had the arroz con gandules with churrasco and my wife had the trifongo with churrasco. Both were delicious!! Also the waiter was awesome. Very personable. Thank you! read more

Agree with reviewer Cesar S. My daughter suggested this restaurant. The only tables available were located outside. We had to split between a table with only three chairs and another with two. Half hour later the waitress shows up to take our drink order. Since we waited so long for her to show up, we placed orders for appetizers and entrees at same time. The drinks arrived...We waited and waited. After what it seemed like an eternity, we asked about appetizers. We were told that those took a long time to complete. We ordered "relleno de papa, empanadilla de carrucho" and "ensalada de carrucho." There is no doubt in our minds that something happened to our order. It seems that customers sitting inside were served faster and received better service to those sitting outside. About 20 minutes later the waiters show up with the appetizers. Our drinks were water down due to the long wait for appetizers. To our dismay the "ensalada de carrucho" did not make it to the tables. The waitress implied that it was not ordered. We all heard when the appetizer in question was ordered. The "empanadilla de carruchos, and "relleno de papa" were great. The entrees arrived about half hour after appetizers. Everyone agreed that the those tasted really good. Once again the waitress disappears and the desire for dessert weaned as she completely abandoned our table. We wanted our check so we could leave. Forgotten was dessert. Waited some more...This whole waiting thing started to border on ridiculous. Eventually, the check makes it to table and we can leave. Plenty of customers just picking up went by while we waited. So, if you arrive at the restaurant and there is no sitting available inside, leave. Do not be fooled do not hope. Customers who seat outside are forgotten. Food was good but waitress was terrible. Good service is key for any restaurant. A waitress that disappears for long periods of time and does not get the orders right can discourage customers from returning. Good food goes hand in hand with good service. I might be able to forget average food if there is good service. I cannot forget good food and awful service. Will never go back! read more

This tiny place puts out some great dishes. And plentiful in size. Carlos was an awesome server! Looking forward to our next visit.

This place has the BEST EMPANADAS! I tried the beef and it was out of this world. Deff authentic. So crispy and delicious. 10/10.

We had frituras and started with the alcapurrias. We judge harshly as we both come from good Puerto Rican cooks and this place gets a thumbs up all around! The empanadas as nice and full and the ground beef is seasoned perfectly! The tostones de pana were a wonderful treat as well! Next time we will have full meal food and I'm looking forward to it! Thanks Weeepa! You brought me back to our home land! read more

This is my second time at this establishment and waited so long for someone to clean the table that was filthy. We were barely noticed and when the server came over, there was no greeting and it seemed like we were a nuisance to him. We waited so long for our food and it was lousy. The pork chops were hard and dry, the rice was bland like the last time and the alcaburrias were burnt. I wish I could give a half star. Never going back. read more

My wife and I were drawn in by the live music on there grand opening weekend. We were not disappointed. It has a smallish menu but for what it lacks in quantity it made up for in quality. The food was out of this world good. The staff was attentive we even met the owner. Hope this place sticks around read more

First time in this puertorrican place. Very nice ambiance. Music is good, takes me back to my island. We ordered the tostones rellenos con camarones, WOW!!! awesome sauce. Guys but you really need to revisit your price on the Medalla Beer, are you kidding me $3.50? What the heck? Not even in La Fondita de Leo. Come on, this is a new place. You can't start like that right away. Next time I'll take the tostones with me and buy a six pack at a Liquor store. read more

Good location, plenty of parking,atmosphere feels like being in Puerto Rico- mofongo very good with carne frita, next time I will ask for some caldo, also, the cafe con leche was not hot or strong enough....on second visit the cuajo was excellent and I had the sancocho - very delicious, seasoned and served hot too - third visit we had Cubano sandwiches - served pressed, hot and on the correct tasty bread and ingredients...total yum. Our server was pleasant and answered any questions we had...This is the place for homemade Puerto Rican food...beats out any competition in the Pinellas County. read more

Just had some bomb food. Skirt steak en salsa criolla with arroz con gandules (rice and pigeon peas) Chicken and beef empanadas. Mofongo with chicharrones de pollo. Yum yum yum. Since I'm Panamanian the food was similar but different enough to experience something different read more

Best Mofongo in the area great customer service nicely decorated Puerto Rican style restaurant

Love the food! Fried pork was so crispy and tasty. Mix rice, delicious. Stuffed plantains with skirt steak, yummy. Stewed beans, perfect. Mafungo, like it should be. Atmosphere, nothing fancy, but good music. read more

We have had many different options from Wepaa and have loved them all! The service can operate on "island time," but we've enjoyed every visit there. One night we visited, they had two parties of over 15 (pre-Covid) and while they were insanely busy, they still took care of everything very well. read more

Great little restaurant. Our service here has been a little hit or miss depending on who is working, and that goes for take-out and for dine-in. That being said, the food is really good. I've had a lot of empanadas around the area and these guys have the best. read more

The restaurant is very small inside. Only 4 or 5 tables available now due to social distancing. However, the quality of the food is excellent. My husband and I used to go frequently but have decided to order out instead on account of COVID-19. Among the best dishes are the mofongo with chicken breast or with shrimp. Their beans are very tasty and whenever available their tostones de pana are amazing! read more

Great location & even better service. Will definitely be back for more. Try the empanadas & corn fritters, along with some passion fruit juice for the perfect combination! read more

First time in Wepa Cocina de Puerto Rico and have to go! It's the cutest little spot with amazing food. The Chuleta Can Can is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! DELMARIS took care of us and the service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again and again and again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. read more

Excellent food and service!! Great to have another choice for dining nearby. The menu seems limited, for now, but there seemed to be a good amount of dine in and take out, so hopefully word will travel and they will grow! The shrimp/mofongo was delicious ...crisp outside, tender inside and the cajun sauce the shrimp was in was very flavorful without being too spicy. My friend had the chicken breast with plantains and red beans and loved it. (and he's Puerto Rican :-) We'll be back! read more

So this is my second time going here and I can now tell you the food here is not fresh I felt like I was eating left overs from a week ago the girls working are nice but the food just not up to what they claim to be Puerto Rican I for sure will not return! read more

Horrible. I got "steak" and yellow rice and black beans and paid $40 for Something I couldn't eat. Yes the yellow rice was OKAY, the black beans were salty, and I'm not even sure if their "steak"was real steak. Especially not worth $40 for two meals. I can go to Columbia and spend that with drinks and me more satisfied. I would highly suggest a refund . Unbelievable. And utterly upsetting . read more

Relleno de papa, small, no taste, tasted burnt. Same with the alcapurrias, tasted burnt, bland, looked like a #2. The one's I remember looked like little cigars. The pastrami sandwich, not a good idea. Service-slow. ps. Morcilla - very dry, bland, over cooked. read more
