The food and service were pretty good. It seemed like it was a local favorite. We liked it, and the entertainment was entertaining as well.

Pros: this place is super fun for a Friday night, dj music, lots of dancing, great ambience if you are into Latin music and salsa dancing Food wise: Complimentary Cuban bread with 2 homemade sauce.. green semi spicy sauce and a red sweet jam like sauce.. both good I had fish with 2 sides... arroz congri (rice & black beans blended) and sweet plantains.. I love the sides... not a fan of the fish... came semi raw in the middle and not a lot of flavoring We also ordered empanadas: we tried all 3 choices (chicken, ground beef and guava/cream cheese) - all decent, not great but good! Best one is still Mrs Empanadas at Miami airport We also order fajitas.. they were decent, comes with tortillas, lettuce and sour cream ... no salsa, guacamole or cheese which I thought was odd.. also came with 2 sides, we ordered veggies and boiled yuca(love the yuca) Drink wise: Friday 6:30-8 is happy hour.. and we tried a mojitos (bogo) a traditional and a passion fruit.. both were good not amazing or super authentic...they definitely do not skim on the amount of alcohol Overall, food not amazing, decent and edible but not amazing... For a local place.. it's definitely a place to go to if you are craving some ok Latin food..my favorites are their sides and green sauce and bread.. I would definitely come back to try their Cuban at lunch just to see if those are decent vs driving all the way to Ybor.. So definitely check it out if you are a local to this area.. read more

My brother introduced me to this spot and I love it! It's a small Latin restaurant but the food, drinks and staff are amazing. They have a wide selection of menu options from chicken, seafood, pork and beef. I love their menus are electronic. I have gotten the mahi mahi which was delicious. I have had the same server both times. I believe his name is Louis. He does an excellent job and is very attentive. Now for the main attraction, the drinks. If you love fruity drinks like me this is a great spot! You can get margaritas, mojitos and caprihinas drinks with flavors like pineapple ginger, mango, passion fruit and more. My favorite so far is the passion fruit caprihina. So yummy! They also have a weekday happy hour that I believe is from 3 to 6:30. They also have live music on select nights. This is a perfect spot for a date night or just to meet up and chill with friends. read more

This is a very good restaurant. The service is a little slow but it is worth the wait. Just go and enjoy your family. I've had a variety of things on the menu. I love their Cuban sandwich but my favorite is the tostada salad. There is soooo much delicious food. read more

Food was inconsistent, some bland, the main dish Extremely salty and poor quality. The only good thing was the rice and beans. Server took the order by memory and to no surprise, she got it wrong. Over priced for the quality. Hopefully my review will be a wake up call to the administration, would hate to have one our only Latin restaurants become a casualty. read more

This Latin Grill reminds me of great Spanish food from back home in NJ . The service was 5 stars all around , ambiance was amazing feeling , they also have Latin nights on Thursdays , if your into Spanish music great food and drinks this is a perfect first date to go to you'll love it . They make the best Cuban coffee I have had as well. I always order the Seafood Paella . It's my favorite ! read more

This is a "can't miss place" if you are looking for Spanish food that is absolutely flavourful and delicious. The paella is something to behold and even more to enjoy. By far the tastiest and most plentiful I have had ever. The ambiance is totally inviting with several areas to accommodate your dining pleasure from exciting nightclub with dancing and floor shows to laid back dining areas and private rooms to accommodate large parties. If you like sumptuous Spanish cuisine, do not miss this dining gem. read more

Food is very good, but if you're looking for Cuban, this is not the place. Very good chicken, but the picadillo was not what I expected. read more

Came back after goving them a chance to get better and I am NOT disappointed. Bravo and thanks! We started sharing the chicken tostones. Wow! Almost the same as Bahame Brz chain but really substantial. Honestly, This could have been our meal... Then, rhe Churrasco was a little tough... but I know its a gamble, the seasoning was so exlent that I didnt add any of the chimichurri. Wife ordered a cuban sandwich which was plenty for 2 meals. Ordered a latin beer at a reasonable price too. The management has really changed my mind about their place. My last review, a couple of years back, was not great but they have really improved on the food. Now, if only they fixed the leaks on the roof.... read more

I used to get take out all the time. Tonight when food delivery had weird smell like dog food. I thought new season or something. Ate 4 bites of the pork and knew something was wrong. I have been in bathroom 3 times and threw out the rest. Lighting candles to get smell out of house. Not sure what happened. Sad, I have never left a bad review read more

Great food every time. & drinks are delicious. Love music on The Weekends - highly recommend!! read more

Great food, fast service. The staff is very friendly. Quick seating for a weekend between the 9am-10am hour. Once seated my drink order was taken and the server brought over toasted pressed buttered cuban bread with a guava spread. I ordered the 2 egg breakfast with cuban toast. Everything was great. That comes with 2 eggs, bacon or sausage with potatoes or grits.. Nice portions for the price. Also ordered Cuban coffee. Our server Nicholas was good. Will be back. read more

Passed by after showing one of my customer some houses and as a realtor you travel to a lot places you normally would not. So I told myself I have to check this place out. Then I see one of my old friends posted that they'll be playing in a Latin band here this weekend so I went and was definitely not disappointed. The food was amazing, the mojitos were kicking and the music was jamming!!! Best kept secret in Brandon. read more

Latin Grill - Tostones con picadillo - Cuban Near Me - Brandon, Florida

We are lucky we have so many great eateries near us! We absolutely love Latin Grill! The service is homey and accommodating! The atmosphere is dynamic, especially after 9 pm on weekends, (turns into dance club with live music), and the food always delivers! Fresh, tasty and huge portions! We really enjoy the Latin Grill. Great place we share good moments with friends and family. read more

My wife and I really liked this place so we went back this Sunday at 5PM. The food is still VERY GOOD. I mean very tasty and well prepared. I like the new bar setup. This place becomes a night club on Friday and Saturday evenings. I know tons of people who love it. That said, something is going on... food portions are getting smaller and smaller. They even skipped that wonderful sliced Cuban bread (no bread, because of the storm i was told. Tostones? Yeah, but only 2 with your dinner. WHAAAT?? ... (let's be serious). Anyways, I do recommend this place.. but the favorite "churrasco" steak is now priced at $30 () so I'd say, stick to the pork or shrimp dishes. To the owner: this ain't fine dining (and we're not looking for fine dining either), but you're not the only Latin Food restaurant in town anymore; PLEASE stop skipping on the food before more people notice and we all start looking around. I don't want to have to go anywhere else. read more

Terrible service. The food came cold even the meat. Asked for more vinagret that came half portion , she said i need to pay extra. Plates came 6 min after the food. Soda was flat. Just a terrible over all experience. Price is not good either. read more

If you're looking for a place to "hit the spot" Latin Grill has got you! I ordered their take out and found a yummy spot that serves huge plates! I got the lechon (pork) with arroz con gri (rice and black beans cooked together) and a side of maduros (fried sweet plantains). I also got a side of yuca (boiled) and a flan. It was all delicious and so much food I had lunch the next day. The rice was a little dry but that's because they make so much of it. The price was right and I would try this place again! read more

Truly disappointed! Place is NOT clean, appears run down. The restaurant states it is authentic food. However, the rice was chewy texture like the instant rice from a box. The steak we requested to be well done. Unfortunately well cooked meant served as hard meat. It saddens me to see other reviews express its a well kept place when that is NOT the case. I have also added a pic of the egg shells in our meal. The food was not authentic to us at all. I normally leave good reviews. However, this is info that I must share as the pricing for the food is not worth the dish served. I truly believe with honest reviews from real customers is a MUST. I do not recommend it. The deserts were disappointing as well. The price verses the portion was unacceptable. read more

Latin Grill - Biste a Caballo one too many egg shells - Cuban Near Me - Brandon, Florida

In the past, food has been great but recently it has gone downhill real - real bad I went in and ordered. Got some rice and usually I like my yellow rice but this was old yellow rice, dry and it had no flavor at all. The server was ok, but the food needs substantial improvement. read more

My friend introduced me to The Latin Grill on a Friday night and I brought my family back on Saturday. Their Lomo Saltado is fantastic and their grouper bites are also delicious. They are large portions. They have good black beans and rice and I loved their sweet platanos are perfect! If you want a drink try one of the mojitos, the mango is my favorite. Will definitely go back! read more

So far my favorite place to get some authentic cuban food. Delicious entrees, very nice portions! I normally get to go, I never dined in (yet) but I love this place and the food so much!!! The only thing I will say lacked flavor is the beans, both. Depending on the day. Garbanzo bean soup is now my favorite soup thanks to this place. I definitely recommend trying this place. I can't stop ordering from them! They even have delicious mango smoothies. read more

Latin Grill - Cuban Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Muy Bien for The Latin Grill in Tampa, FL. My Dad and I were hungry for some yummy Cuban food. A Cuban Breakfast to exact. Dad knew of this place but had never been so off we went. We were greeted and seated immediately. The staff were nice and helpful. I like the colors of the inside of this restaurant. Very pretty FL style. I was super impressed with their menus. E-Menus. Good for them!! Ordered my favorite Coffee Con Leche! Hmmmm! Delicioso!! So creamy and very Cuban. Just like I like it. Our breakfast came out in good timing and it was so yummy. Good Cuban style breakfast. Can't go wrong. I'm looking forward to visiting these awesome folks again and this time I'll come for lunch and breakfast. Forks up for The Latin Grill!!! read more

Their food was subpar. And the service was lacking. I had to get out of my seat to ask for a refill. We thought we'd try something new. hard pass. read more

Very good, we where looking for a good place for dinner and stopped by, started eating inside. Then we decided to go outside at the little covers, the service is good as well, they are very funny too, it's a little loud having to sit inside, the music is loud, but it definitely shows cultural vibes. LOVE IT read more

Latin Grill - Cuban Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I don't do many of these cause there isn't much food I don't like. But if you are in the Brandon area, I'd stay as far away from the Latin Grill as possible. Not only was the food absolutely garbage, we literally threw everything away except for the toast because we were so hungry. That includes the large cafe con leche that was poured down the sink. The coffee tasted like mop water mixed with the smell of an old dog house. The tamale, I'm pretty positive was extremely old as it felt slimey and had a rancid smell and taste like it was soaked in lime, and then thrown in with some rotten tomatoes and then served. The sandwiches chicken was cooked to the point of having no real chicken flavor other than being compared to a really gross chicken bouillon spice. The sauce? What was that? Is the food even tasted before going out? The boliche was a disgrace like it was frozen for a few months before heating and serving. The picadillo?? How can you mess up picadillo? It doesn't even have to look good to taste ok. This was like the cheapest hamburger meat was chosen to cook with and then dropped on the floor before serving. Yeah, I won't be back. Not only was the food absolutely disgusting, you can tell there is absolutely no pride taken in preparing this food. I don't eat fast food, but I would've eaten that all day before this subpar version of Latin food. read more

Big surprise! My family of four all loved their meals. Loaded with flavor. All freshly prepared. Wait staff was all very friendly. We'll be back! read more

We've been returning to The Latin Grill for years. It's not fancy or upscale by any means, but the food is delicious. Why we like it: the food is authentic, portions are generous, food is served quickly and very reasonably priced. Room for improvement: the music selection can be interesting. When we walked in today there was techno music playing rather loudly. Half way through lunch mid-song they changed it to a more salsa style. Also, the hostess doesn't speak English well and service can be a little slow. Our waitress was busting her butt this afternoon, perhaps because they're short staffed. All in all I will continue recommending this place to family and friends. We've never had a bad experience here. read more

Smells weird, the food is not authentic Cuban food at all it's more like Mexican the beans were disappointing just all around bad. Good service doe. read more

Great time and food. If you in the Brandon area definitely a must go type of restaurant. Great service and atmosphere

While me and the wife were visiting the area we came across this restaurant accidentally. We went to Stein and Vine down the street and after sitting around for 10 minutes without even receiving water we left. We were heading back to the hotel and seen Latin Grlll. Stopping there was the best. The hostess, the waitress and the food was absolutely great. We loved it there and will be sure to make this a regular visit for us when we move to the area. read more

This place should not be less than 5 stars! The food is always amazing and the service is always fantastic!!!! Been going here for years, even since their other location. I moved far away so now I can only go every once in awhile but I am going today and can't wait!!! read more
