We hit up Latin Twist before going to see Kings of Leon at Benchmark Arena. As always the food was wonderful!!!! Great service too! The restaurant is always clean and everyone is warm and inviting. I can't rave enough about the food. I have tried a bunch of different dishes but the pulled pork, yellow rice and red beans, yucca with onions is my favorite. I am not sure that it's 100% authentic but there are always Spanish speaking customers, that tells me something. The dessert, the cake that is in milk, sorry forgot the name was sooo good. No wait and you get tons of food! The prices are so reasonable I feel like they understand charge. See you again soon Latin Twist! read more

Lucky for us, this was next door to the place we found on Yelp to stop in for a quick snack. Decided to share a Cuban sandwich. Toasted bread, hot, flavorful and juicy meat, crisp pickles, melted cheese... the best Cuban I've ever had. Very friendly and clean. Also had a beef and chicken empanada. Chicken above average, very flavorful, hot and fresh. Beef, flavorful hot and fresh, for us, personal preference didn't enjoy some of the seasoning. Easy 5 stars! read more

Latin Twist Cafe - My half of our Cuban sandwich. MUST try! - Latin American Near Me - Wesley Chapel, Florida

One of our daughters thought we might like to try something different and authentic while on our assignment. 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 read more

I met my daughter for lunch at Latin Twist Cafe. They are known for their Cuban fare and did not disappoint !! The staff behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. We both ordered Cuban Sandwiches - very tasty & tender pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickle, and mustard pressed in Cuban bread with butter. One of the better Cuban sandwiches I've ever had. read more

What a happy accident! Driving home from Tampa and was looking for a place with açaí bowls. This place was next door and sounded good. Positive reviews and warm welcome made us stay and order. Plenty of seating with Latin music and self-serve drinks. They offer house made drinks as well as ethnic drinks. We split the Cuban sandwich which was quite possibly the best I've ever had. Perfect crunch on the bread and the meat was tender with lots of flavor. And it was HUGE! We both had plenty with our half. We shared empanadas - one chicken and one beef. The chicken filling was my favorite. Overall, great experience. Wish it was closer to home! read more

This place has the most amazing food. I am hooked on their pork, perfectly seasoned and tender. I also always get the plantains as well. And the rice and beans are perfectly cooked with so much flavor. I always have enough for 2-3 meals when I order this. It's located in a strip mall on Bruce B downs in Wesley Chapel. The restaurant itself is intimate, I usually get it to go and eat at home. read more

The food here is so fresh! Daily Cantina style food and table service. The portions are generous and the taste is authentic! They have everything from Latin Soul food, to cafe con leches, Cuban toast, desserts and drinks! Order pick up, take out, or dine in. Also available on delivery apps. THE BEST LATIN FOOD OFF SR-56 and BBD. They plan on opening a new location! Praying it's out on the other side of 56 where all the new housing is. Their food is so good! read more

Amazing Cuban food and friendly, efficient service. We are only here visiting but have been there twice already.

It's fast and convenient but not great. The tamales are mostly masa and very dry. The chicken was good and moist. The roast pork is rather bland and the only "juice" is fat drippings which made it seem dry. Yellow rice is mushy and has no flavorful at all. Plantains are good and not over cooked. read more

Food is quite good. I had one problem with catering from them for my mom's celebration of life. I placed an order and the day of the service when I called they said they thought it was for the next day. They tried to make it right but honestly I was disappointed. The rice and pork were good but the roasted chicken was more like boiled chicken. Honestly not many ate it. Ended up being donated to food kitchen. Not to mention the prices on the website were from an old menu so it cost me double what I thought. Anyway that was the one and only issue. I have eaten there before that and food is very good that's why I went with them. The restaurant was small but very clean good ambiance and accommodating,friendly staff. Great mofongo, carne mechada, rice and beans. I would definitely recommend. Not sure I'd cater again . A read more

I gave them 5 stars for 3 reasons 1. Pricing 2. The food was fresh, flavorful and as you can see portion size is perfect 3. The staff are friendly and take care of you Bring those together and you have a restaurant that people will talk about and return to. read more

Got delivery and I have to say the food was good and the breakfast sandwich with guava holly batman that was fire!!

Not flexible on substitutions even if you want to pay for the difference. Waitress is friendly enough, seems like supervisor is the one who can't decide whether to help loyal customers or not. I won't be coming back. read more

This place has a great Cuban sandwich. The best I have had in the Wesley Chapel area. Their empanadas have a well seasoned filling too.

Their food is the closest to home made Spanish food in tampa. Love their shredded beef and beans and rice. Love the convenience of their take out option. You are in and out in 5 min. read more

My wife brought me today a "Cuban sandwich". Not only was it expensive and miniscule, it was more a pork sandwich with pickles than a "Cuban". Granted, the pork was well-seasoned, but the size of the sandwich "se queda en una muela". Not worth it. It used to be a great place to go to for lunch or dinner. Unfortunately, from all indications it's going under. Sooner rather than later. read more

Yummy food, friendly service, reasonable prices casual relaxed atmosphere. Will return.

I ordered several meals from here. Pernil, rice, red beans, yuca, ham sandwich, not sure why, but food gave me and spouse straight up diarrhea! How disappointing! read more

The food was great, the service was good, we will be back. Great Cuban food and the portions are good.

This is a really wonderful place. Not our first visit but it had been a while. We ordered a Cuban sandwich and some combo fajitas. The Cuban sandwich was perfectly presented, crispy outside and had very fresh ingredients. The combo fajitas came out super hot, fresh tortillas, and they also brought a side of very fresh sour cream. Perfectly cooked, seasoned and delicious. Drinks are self serve and that works fine. If you like Cuban food, definitely eat here! read more

We enjoyed our dining experience at Latin Twist Cafe! The food was excellent! The owner, Virginia invited us after meeting her at Lowe's and discovered they served Oxtails which were delicious. The restaurant was very clean and servers were attentive to our needs to drink refills, additional request during our meal and much more. They were really accommodating throughout our evening dine-in. The entree's are reasonably priced and worth a repeat visit. If you're in the Wesley Chapel area, stop by and enjoy the experience as we did! read more

Home style Cuban and Latin food. We've had both the roast pork and the roast chicken. Both were delicious and authentic. Huge portions. Served quickly, with very friendly service. The restaurant is small, but comfortable. You can eat in, take away, or order to be delivered. We've eaten here several times and have enjoyed the food each time. read more

Lovely staff and very helpful if your not familiar with Puerto Rican food . Will go back you should as well . Sorry no pictures as I ate it too fast .. BURP read more

It's about time that I update my over 8 year old review. This place has survived the test of time and has been here since July 2011. I'm so happy they are around and they are so nice here. You feel like you are welcome in their home. What grabbed my attention is their sancocho soup. It's getting chilly now so my hubby and I are always looking for something heartwarming. You will find it here with three diff types of meats and different veggies in a wonderful broth. If you want a seafood soup they have seafood asapao which is a seafood rice soup/stew. Their fried chicken looks amazing. Their yellow rice is tasty. I'll definitely be back!!! This is called Latin Twist because it's a fusion of Cuban, Puerto Rican, Mexican. read more

We had this delivered via Door Dash. I had the beef empanada and it was great. A couple of us got the Cuban sandwich and though it had good flavor it was a tad dry. Needed a bit more condiment or pickles to juice it up. Someone got the Roasted Pork/Pernil Asado with rice and black beans. This was the highlight dish! The pork was moist and the dish was very flavorful..especially those beans. As good as that was, unfortunately somebody's Mofongo Chicken platter was equally as bad. The entire meal was so dry it was almost inedible. Everything was dry. We felt so bad. To leave with a positive note, the sweet plantain's we had gotten were good! read more

Finally got to try this place; one of the most tasteless cubans I've had around tampa bay area. Wasn't very good - disappointed, wanted a winner close to home. The beef empanada tasted good; little beef and half filled with large chunks of potato. But it did taste good... Would not recommend the cuban here. Service was nice; sandwich made quickly - just tasteless with dry pork / little ham. read more

When this place first opened, it was great and the service was relatively quick. In the past few years, making a call for takeout it's been very challenging and there of been a few errors in the orders. Food is generally good, and people are relatively friendly. read more

Went in yesterday for their good food they always have, they had 3 tables with some people at it, however, after being there noone greeted me noone said nothing I got up after about 10 min got my own menus and finally stopped a lady and told her we was ready to order she came over not really too enthused however still giving benefit of the doubt okay u busy BUT after placing our order it just continued to go downhill! I ordered the chicken with yell rice and beans and my Mom was getting a kids meal. People left by this time and it was us and one other party. Then I see the waitress busy talking hugging her workers people are leaving they just talkin and by now some good amount of time passed. I told my Mom come on lets go! I like to give small businesses my business instead of the chains. This was def a epic fail! read more

I like this restaurant because they are most affordable in the area. The price is reasonable with amount of food they have provided on each dish. Basically the amount is good mother and a child or two older person. For young adult is plenty. You will not go hungry after visit. The downside of the restaurant is every thing take too long. It take more 10 minutes after they drop the menu and come to take your order. Often they forget to bring what you need for additional things. The service did take a back seat in this restaurant. It is not they don't have enough help, it just the mentally slow in this restaurant. I got the sautéed palomilla with Mofongo. The first taste is great when dig the outside of mofongo. After you get to the outer layer, it lost the best taste. The palomilla I prefer it to be grilled instead of sautéed. However, they don't have this option. read more

Phenomenal pork tamales, beef empanadas, sweet plantains, & service! I've found my home:) It's open 11 AM till 8 PM. This restaurant has been open close to 8 years. (It is reopening on Sundays beginning September 8, 2019.) There is free WiFi; the code is posted on the counter. There are two wall televisions. The surround sound Spanish music was a little too loud, but I'm betting it would have been turned down upon request. Three very friendly women were working today. (The owner was not.) A shout out to the lovely tatted woman who had gastric surgery two decades ago. Thank you for the compliment... & the advice. I appreciate it. Had I noticed the "Daily Twist" menu offering (1 entree & 3 sides for $8.25- $9.25- see pic), I would have ordered it. Instead, I selected the Garden Omelette minus the side of toast. I opted for sweet plantains (extra). Both were very good. But the pork tamales ($4.50) & beef empanadas ($2.75) were BEYOND excellent! Just the perfect combination of meat & seasonings. The tamales were unbelievable w/ their moist steamed dough & tender pork strips. The empanadas had a perfectly flaky crust & just the right amount of onion. Both were easily the BEST I've ever had the pleasure of tasting! Seriously. (See pics.) You'll feel right at home here the moment the door closes behind you. You'll be greeted, asked if you're dining in, directed to a table, & offered complementary Cuban pressed bread. Although there's table service, there's a self service drink station (unless it's alcohol you desire; they have that in bottles). There's also a handful of outside metal tables beside the front door-- perfect if you are in the company of a canine. WoW! So happy I was in the area & stopped in. Will be stopping in a few times each month. Such yummy Latin fare! Thank you, Ladies! read more

My in-laws were in town and have always wanted to try a Cuban sandwich. I was looking for the closest authentic Cuban sandwich to where we lived as we did not want to drive far because they were tired from all the driving from Pennsylvania. I happen to find the Latin Twist on Yelp. How have I been driving past this place for eight years is mind blowing. When we entered the restaurant, the staff immediately greeted us and told us we could sit anywhere we liked. They had no trouble sitting a table of six. We ordered Cuban sandwich (Swiss cheese, salami, ham, pork, mustard, mayo, pickles, and white wine.), black beans and yellow rice, cheese empanada, chicken empanada, flan, and tres leche. All of the food was so tasty! The owner came to our table and talked with us for a while. Extremely sweet and very devoted to her craft. We cannot wait to come back. read more
