I ordered the chicken milanesa, a cheese empanada, and I got a side of sweet plantains. The price was pretty reasonable for such a large portion! I would definitely say two people could comfortably share these items. I personally liked the portions, as a Latina, because that's what I'm used to. The chicken dish came with rice and beans - I picked the white rice and regular beans. You could have picked from a few combinations. This dish came with a small side salad too. The flavors were authentic and I will definitely be ordered this again. The side of sweet plantains offers almost a full plantain in its portion size. I would definitely order this again. I will say, I like mine a bit crisper and these were pretty moist/mushy. Still delicious and really more of a point of preference! The cheese empanda had the dough I'm used to and was cooked perfectly! The cheese was some mix of yellow cheese and I prefer mozzarella in them. This is a point of preference also - if you like cheese empanadas, you'll be happy with this one. All in all - I'll be ordering again REALLY SOON!

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!!!

Sadly, that was not the case... BUT, it wasn't a total waste! I've been to Benny's sports bar before in the ambiance have always been great....great security, great people with great music and not to mention ridiculously great food! This was my official first time eating at Benny's, not that I have wanted to before, just never did...I don't know what I was thinking!! Lol. The menu is two-sided with a lot of tasty options. Finally we decided on an appetizer of 3 and panadillas period two chicken and one beef. they were VERY appetizing. Handmade empanadas oh, and the chicken was also very well made and seasoned. The one beef empanadas was absolutely scrumptious and all three were filled with very generous portions. Meanwhile, Mary the bartender took excellent care of us and all our needs. Very accommodating and extremely friendly...Mary was also very helpful with our selections. We finally decided on 2 Pernil Sandwiches - my goodness... We weren't ready for what we received. The sandwich was by far one of my top three sandwiches that I've ever eaten in my life! The other two titles are held by my mother and grandmother if that tells you anything lol. Sandwiches came out cut in half on a toasted French bread bun. The bun itself with seasoned before it was griddled with seasoning and the mixture of butter along with seasonings are embedded within the bread... Absolutely delicious. And that's just the bread! The pork came very very moist and traditionally seasoned with Puerto Rican spices... And absolutely dripping with flavor. Also accompanied is chopped lettuce and a piece of tomato on each half of the sandwich. It also comes with cheese and a secret sauce that they slather on that is generously applied and tasted VERY good! Simple potato chips are served on the side as well. These sandwiches can be best accompanied with an ice cold Corona with a lime. We had a very good time even though we didn't dance, it was fairly early in the night when we left because we wanted to check out a few other spots, but I guarantee you next time we will be closing that bitch out!! - thank you for the excellent service and hospitality. We will certainly return!

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!
