Very small portions for the price did not equal up. The food was not bad. It just did not equal up to what they were giving. I felt bad for the woman working.

The reason I am going back and forth between the stars is because the meat portion is very small. The rice was amazing but then you get a small side of a salad? It had no dressing but was one onion slice, one tomato, and some lettuce. The stew chicken came with one big piece and two small pieces. I ate it all in one sitting. Overall the taste was amazing. The portion was not.

We arrived at 6p and after having a look at all the food options, we decided to order from El Kiosquito. The lady at the serving counter was warm and welcoming. We asked her and the gentleman which two empanada flavors are their best selling and both of them said the steak and beef. So we got two of each. They were super helpful with the entree items too, even letting us sample some of them. The roasted pork was INCREDIBLE and I knew I had to have that for dinner. Finished it with yellow rice and peas with beans, and the yuka. And oh. My. GOD. The best meal I've had in months, I promise!! As if we needed anymore....we ended up trying their piña colada and whoa!!! Most piña coladas taste like tanning oil but this one was made with high quality, real ingredients and you could tell from the first sip. We have definitely found a new favorite!!!

A much needed infusion of Latin American spice to the Tremont fringe, and Cleveland as a whole…read more This new project space/neighborhood hangout/lunchtime hanger cure run by the Hispanic Business Center is part of an incubator for local Hispanic start-ups that is open to the entire community. 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!

Everyone here is very nice and friendly. It is a bit confusing when you walk in so let me explain…read more It is several business operating out of one space, which i didn't really understand from the yelp listing (unless i just didn't read well). 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 Idea of a shared space is great though. It gives you ohio city galley vibes but with some flavor...lol

Cafe Roig is Puerto Rican stand at the CentroVillas25 in Ohio City. I stopped in during my last…read morevisit to this gem of a Latin Center. I was desperately craving caffeine after having a hearty meal at the center. Ambiance: Think mall food court but with all Latin vendors (plus retail). You can build your own plate with multicultural cuisines. The center is vibrant, modern, new, and has plenty of comfortable seating. It's quiet enough to hear your company or even work from home. Food/Drink: Cafe Roig has Latin sandwiches, sweets, and coffee beverages. Standouts are Mallorcas, Puerto Rican puffy pastries. The experience is pretty value-oriented. You can get 50% off a pastry with your coffee purchase. I was absolutely full when I arrived at Cafe Roig. I just wanted a petite coffee drink. Cortadito was a perfect treat. It was $3.99 for a medium (just a shot), which is pretty standard price (cheaper than Starbucks). The employee explained to me that it's traditionally served sweet. I selected this option despite never drinking coffee sweet. It wasn't the best cortado I've had but I also never had Puetro Rican version. Service: I'm very used to Latin hospitality and friendliness at CentroVilla25. All vendors are always eager to talk about their businesses and welcome you with open arms. It wasn't my experience here. The employee working this stand was very serious and not chatty. I didn't feel any friendliness. The service was also very slow despite only two people ahead of me. I intend to try Mallorcas next time I'm at CentroVilla25. They sound so exciting! I'd recommend this stand for caffeine despite not exactly having a five star experience. It's something unique to try and wonderful to support!

I'm so sad about this, but this was not my favorite experience at Leavened. Customer service was great of course but my selections fell short. I got a mushroom and ricotta croissant, which was fine. I forgot the ricotta was supposed to be there because it mostly tasted liked mushroom, but it was good. I also got the cinnamon monkey bread. This was not good. It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted. Monkey bread is usually gooey and sweet. This missed the mark, but that's okay. I'll certainly return for another treat soon. Also the bread was looking fire this day.

I think I've tried this place enough to finally declare it an overall disappointment. Today I tried…read morethe hoisin tofu sandwich. The bread was fresh and crusty, there were two small strips of tofu that had maybe been dribbled on by hoisin sauce at some point, some lettuce and jalapeño slices, and carrots. The sandwich was dry as a bone and a really sad empty version of a banh mi. The chocolate rye cookie I bought as a back up was thankfully still deliciously chocolatey and soft as usual. The guy at the register said the bread pudding still has a "cinnamon roll base, so it has orange in it" despite nothing in the sign denoting this awful addition to bread pudding and the fact that cinnamon rolls are not orange rolls. But I digress and I won't fight with a cashier over their poor decisions lol. Also got a cherry chocolate sourdough on impulse. Pray it is soft inside.
