We tried almost everything on a menu and we enjoyed everything. Coffee is great, we always get decaf and they have amazing decaf. Outdoor dining is so pleasant since it's in a shade. Unfortunately seating inside sometimes is hard because people would order a coffee and just seat there for hours doing work. I don't that's appropriate and staff should not allow that. So many times there were no seats and bunch of people doing "work" on laptops while families with kids had nowhere to seat. I don't think it's "work at the cafe" place, people come there to eat mostly and it's weird to see one person with a coffee and a laptop taking up a whole table for an hour while there is a line out of the door of people. Our favorite is avocado toast, sweet and salty and mitiera bowl.

It comes with rice and I always get the yellow rice. My husband got their mojo pork and this was so good and juicy and flavorful. It came with yellow rice and kidney beans. They are both so tasty. I really need to try it in their Cuban sandwiches. Their service here is excellent. So friendly and always checking on us. No wonder this is still around - bc of their great food and great service. Spacious tables and chairs inside and out, outside is covered and shaded.

Little did they know we've been eating different all month and we've been to the LTC at least a dozen times! But shussshhh! Don't spoil their intentions. I feel the food is very tasty considering much of it is previously cooked then reheated. Although, the Cuban sandwiches always taste freshly made. The Mofongo and Pernil - a big hit with us. Mrs. E. thinks the place pricey even if the portions are very generous. I disagree and say it's typical South Florida pricing. It's possibly the busiest take out I've ever seen. The café is a cozy little spot; not very big and not much decoration, but, the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. The staff are always friendly. They really know the menu. They're extremely fast and efficient, too. 12/25

Yesterday I had a wonderful experience at Mojo Grill. The server was so kind and helpful, wiping…read moredown a table drenched from the rain before me even asking. The food was to die for! I ordered the steak with tostadas and a mojito, both items I would highly recommend. Sitting outside of Mojo by all the other Krate spots was lovely, as there was live music playing nearby.

My original rating for this restaurant was 5 stars, and that wasn't given lightly. I had been here…read moresix times before, and every visit was lively, welcoming, and consistently delicious. The Ropa Vieja was my go-to order, and I genuinely loved this place. Unfortunately, today's visit was a completely different experience & I damn near thought I went to an entirely different establishment. From the moment I walked in, something felt off. The atmosphere was noticeably different, and I don't even recall hearing music. The young man behind the counter seemed to be looking for ingredients, which should have been my first sign to turn around and choose somewhere else. Instead, I stayed because I trusted my previous experiences. This time, I ordered the Cuban nachos and 2 chicken empanadas. When I opened the tray in my car, I was honestly shocked. The nachos were simply chips, melted cheese, and cilantro aioli. There were no jalapeños, no pickled onions, and no fresh cilantro, which were all toppings that are supposed to come with the dish. I never asked for any of them to be excluded. The empanada was another disappointment. The small empanadas they used to serve were delicious. Now, they've been replaced with much larger empanadas containing a filling that tasted more like a generic "chicken-like" mixture than the quality I remembered. I'm genuinely saddened by this experience because this used to be my go-to spot whenever I was craving Ropa Vieja. After six previous visits, I had every reason to expect the same quality I had always enjoyed. I don't know if there has been a change in management, recipes, or staff, but something has definitely changed. Unfortunately, based on today's experience, I won't be returning. It's disappointing to lose a place I once rated five stars and happily recommended.

The first time, my partner picked up the order in person , we paid for a pound but got maybe 3/4 of a pound, and they were just fat with no crunch at all. They had the audacity to be bad and on top of that SHORT US. I decided to give them another chance and ordered through Uber Eats. They were still warm, so clearly fresh, but they were the chewiest, most unflavored and unappetizing chicharrones I've ever had still just full of fat. From a place called La Lechonera, you'd think they'd have these down. Sadly, I'll probably never order from here again. ( IF I CAN REMEMBER LMAO)

What hit me first was the decor, warm, cultural and unapologetically Puerto Rican just my kind of spot! The outside open air patio was just as nice. Very spacious spot with plenty of room inside and outside great for large gatherings. Cozy and relaxed atmosphere with an attentive staff that catered to us the entire time. We ordered a lot of food. For appetizers we had the classic fried cheese with guava sauce, sampler platters and the tostones de pana. All crisp and served with extra dipping sauce. The spicy margaritas were fire literally! Passion fruit frappe is my new guilty pleasure so good. Mofongo was good but wish they served it in the traditional Pilon and not a Ramen like bowl. The churrasco was ok was a little tough but the arroz con gandules was seasoned nicely. Everyone was satisfied with the food big portions and service was outstanding. Thank you. This is definitely my favorite Puerto Rican spot in the Wesley Chapel area and glad to see is a beautiful spot. They also have a live band noticed as they were setting up when we were leaving. They are open until midnight on weekends.

Free parking lot parking, spacious dining area, beachy décor, kind employees. Hubby and I ventured into this establishment and sat at the bar. The bartender (Aurianna) assisted us, and she was great. Collectively, we ordered the Jamaican Jerk Wings, Grilled Chicken Entrée, Painkiller, and Bahama Mama Mocktail. Alllll stellar items. The food was prepared perfectly. Hubby and I devoured it. Everything was seasoned and cooked wonderfully. The beverages... AMAZING! I highly recommend this location and would 100% visit again if nearby.

I had the Honey Butter Crispy Chicken Sandwich Combo with a side salad. The sandwich was…read moreimpressively huge, so big that I took it out of the bun and ate it without the bun, dipping it in the honey mustard. The chicken was very nice and moist; the skin had a very good crunch. The salad, on the other hand, was not great. The tomatoes were fine, as were the cucumber slices and the seeds(pumpkin,maybe), but the lettuce, not great. Some of it was a little brown on the edges. There was a piece of crunchy garlic toast standing up in the side salad. It was very similar to a piece of melba toast. Nice crunch. Our waiter was very friendly, and checked on whether we were enjoying our lunches, but he did not come by with a water pitcher for refills. Sadly for Bahama Breeze, the restaurant was not busy; I was hoping for a water refill while we sat and chatted after lunch.

The chicharrón was my favorite. We also had coffee and a pan de bono. The flavors were in point well seasoned and although the place is small it was busy. Definitely worth the visit.

The ladies working were not familiar at all. They also were not friendly and helpful. I was pretty sad. It did make me feel like the previous owners were gone bc either one were there. I hope they are still around and eventually when I come back, I can update this review. We ordered the Hawaiian hot dog and the arepa with beef and chicken. Something was missing. Also we ordered two empanadas. I like their green chimmichuri sauce with it, and as soon as I asked for it, she walked away and never came back. Even the pic on the outside sign shows them with that sauce, but nope never got it. They also have their usual Colombian drinks which are Postobon and Colombiana. They are more expensive and smaller sizes. We will definitely take a break from here. Hope the owners that we know and love will be there.
