I very seldom give reviews, and if/when I do, it's always positive. NOT this time. The girl behind the counter was not friendly, not even a fake smile she gave us.The food was cold when served. My friend didn't like any of it. I tried to fake it and ate a little bit, but it was horrible! It was the first time I was there, and I had no idea that the silver/plastic ware were in a self served corner. When she brought us the food and I asked where were the utensils, pointing to the corner, she told me had told I had to get them myself. She said it in an unprofessional, annoyed face and tone. I will never visit this restaurant nor recommend it to anyone. I was so embarrassed, because my friend (Guatemalan), is an excellent cook. But I'm Puertorriqueña and always bragging about our cooking, etc.. This place put me in shame! For real!!!
Found this place just by coincidence! Was in this area for a baseball event and I'm so glad I did! I love that you can order food or you can choose from the premade hot buffet line with no waiting time. Had several really good choices and the portions were really oversized and tasty.
Love to eat here when I visit Tampa! Has a little bit of everything, and brings me back to the food I grew up with Love their yucca!
