I have been coming to this place for over 10 years. Ever since the owner sold to the new owners, the quality of the food has definitely gone down. I have to ask for a taste of the soup before I even buy it because the consistency is not always the same but the oatmeal and sandwiches are still on point.!! read more

Latinos Supermarket - Oatmeal & ham and cheese sandwich - Imported Food Near Me - Valrico, Florida

Latinos is a supermarket and has a huge food line for lunch. The servings they provide have been very generous in the past but I have not had lunch here in quite some time. Came in to get a breakfast sandwich, so I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on Cuban bread. I have to say it was fairly bland. I was expecting a lot more flavor and it wasn't there. read more

A waste of my $7.51, I just hope that the little bit I had does not make me sick and I would be happy to lose that amount to that business. I asked for a traditional press Cuban Sandwich, but it was loaded with onions and after a couple of bites this messy sandwich did not have a good taste, the deli meat was not fresh. I could not eat this sandwich, it was disgusting, and the worse Cuban Sandwich I ever had. read more

This supermarket is great cause you can find anything a latino needs for a kitchen that you can't find in Publix. You can get anything you need. Surprisingly they have a giant prepared food area that has an amazing selection. On the bad side, the place is dirty, dark and smells like a meat plant. The place is always full and definitely makes money so I don't understand why they can't keep it in better shape. Reinvest some money in updating it. read more

Where do I start? Well, we have been going to this supermarket since we moved to the Brandon area. The hot food from the counter was very good in the beginning. Had lots of Puerto Rican style specialties, and the produce was very good. They changed owners, and it just hasn't been the same since that time. I started noticing things like the expiration dates. Mom loves her little Cien en Bocas cookies that she tells me were only a penny for a handful when she was a young girl. Yes, she tells me that story every time we see them. Well, we purchased them in the tin canister and found that they were expired later on when we got home. It has gotten worse and worse over the years. My biggest complaint is the cleanliness. About a month ago, I went there to purchase ingredients for habichuelas rosadas. I was happy to find the recao and the calabaza (Spanish pumpkin) almost immediately. The produce still looks good. Would purchase the same thing here again. Their recao leafs were large and we got more than enough. Didn't need all of it. The rest of the store was cluttered and not very organized. I went to the meat section to find salt pork which is a necessity for sofrito. They pointed me to the right section to find it. All of the packaged salt pork was slimy on the outside. You couldn't help but get that slime all over your hands when picking up the package. I was immediately grossed out. I had to pull out my hand sanitizer quickly to remove the sticky substance from my hands. I think the only good experience we had during this visit was when we were checking out. The young lady at the cash register was very nice and friendly. No complaints there. Then, my mother decided to walk over to see what kind of prepared food they had in the hot food section. She quickly came back and said that the whole food area was a mess. I walked over after my purchase and found it in the same condition. I'm sad about this because we've had many good meals here in the past. There is a happy ending. My husband made the best habichuelas rosada ever with the ingredients that we purchased from this store. He followed the recipe from my mother's PR cookbook (by Carmen Aboy Valldejuli). She stopped cooking a long time ago because Puerto Rican food preparation is hard work. I give credit to those who do it on a daily basis. Anyway, I'd purchase these ingredients over again although I'm not sure I'd handle the salt pork package without gloves next time. read more

One the service was horrible, they had very nasty attitudes especially the deli side and the food was very bland. Not to mention 30 minutes after eating the Bacon egg and cheese, our roommate was puking their brains out. Honestly the only good service we had was from the lady checking us out, she was so nice. Oh, and for the price it was not worth it. If I could give no stars I would. read more

Nice people good place to do a small grocery and try Latin home made food is really good

On the way to the lunch in Valrico, we saw a Latin supermarket sign that was mention by my friend long time ago. It is a hidden gem in Valrico. The supermarket located just off the SR 60. Many of the service people may not able to communicate in English (Espanol only). By the way, I have stay in Miami for 11 years as little Spanish I know I can survive. This small matter doesn't affect me. The best language is body language. We were able to ask them to pick the food by pound in different container. I believe you also can do it too. My universal language is finger. Pointing and number count to ten is the most I can do - haha. The supermarket has the hot deli section to buy food by pound, sandwich assembly, salad, marinated seafood, fried whole fish, dessert and more. They also have regular grocery sections with seafood, meat, veggie and fruit. The different cut of meat can be found here. By the way, when you check in here, the yelp complimentary 10% discount coupon with check in, they will not honor. The supermarket also has cell phone sales, hair cut and fast food box service. This is rather interesting place like I am actual back to the Miami. read more

I am so sad. I have been going here for so many years. Over the years the cleanliness of the place has gone down hill. Everything's kind of gross and dirty but even with all that I still shopped there. But the last couple times some of my food as been bad. I've bought rice they have the black bugs in the them. And this last time when I brought my rice home I noticed that there was hole in the bag and they had put blue tape over it to cover the hole. I tried calling several times to speak to the owner but their phone stays busy. So sad because I have to go somewhere else to shop now. read more

I am giving this place 2 stars because I like the market but going to the cafe to get 2 sandwiches was a big mistake. My husband ordered one pork sandwich and a non pressed cuban....The language barrier was a huge issue. The lady gave us a cuban with NO MEAT and the pork made us sick within 20 minutes. Another lady even came by and told her what we wanted and the order was still wrong. Probably not going back for a second time. read more

The minute I stepped out of my car and heard Celia Cruz's "La vida es un carnaval" (life is a carnival) blasting out of the glass doors I knew I had come home. I walked in to be mesmerized by the familiar smells, the particular way of rolling the "r's" in our Spanish, the noisiness and nosey-ness. I felt like Alice must have when she arrived in Wonderland. Yes, of course, I had grocery shopped in other Latin markets. But this experience, along with the variety of produce and prices, was completely different. I was on a quest and a mission. Part of eating clean is making my own sofrito (a delicious concoction made of red peppers, green peppers, garlic, cilantro, culantro, green olives, sweet red peppers - Goya in a glass kind, and ajicitos dulces.) To make the sofrito, you must have ajicitos dulces. They resemble the ones used by the Chinese and Korean, but they are not hot nor are they spicy. They are a bit smaller. You can hold four or five on the palm of your hand and their skin (either red or lime green, never yellow) is corrugated. Not smooth like a jalapeño or Havanero. They are filled with small seeds that must be removed and washed off before the blending of the ingredients. So I was on my mission to make my home-made sofrito and in the quest for ajicitos. I had gone to two other markets and had failed to find any. Latino's Supermarket had them! Among many other products incredibly familiar to me either because I love eating them or because they are a cliché of my ancestry and culture. I ran up and down the colorful aisles in excitement. My enthusiasm and exclamations became contagious and many people, both employees and customers, called me up to show me even more stuff I had overlooked, but they knew I would love to see. I had gone only to find ajicitos for the sofrito and returned to my apartment with enough groceries to survive through the apocalyptic years. My concierge was baffled, to say put it mildly. I bought yautías, panapén, batatas, platanos and yucca. I bought Rovira soda crackers. I bought guava jelly and cheese to be fried. I bought coffee from the Dominican Republic (which I love.) I bought masa de pastelillos (the dough we use to make empanadas filled with cheese, or meat, of basically anything because we also can make them quite sweet.) I bought fabuloso--all purple and lavender smelling. Fabuloso is one of those cliché cleaning products, we use to mop floors. I kept filling my cart up as I sang some salsa music. The market has a cafeteria area where you can buy cooked food and eat there or take it home with you. This are also caters activities. I did not know it until recently but they had catered Vane's "ugly sweater party" on Christmas. So I have enjoyed their pastels, arroz con gandules, and lechón. Their flan was also quite amazing. Just when I thought it could not get any better... va va va boom! They had agua florida, velones and spiritual sprays. Yes, a small botanica-like counter! I could get my yuyu clean and my mojo (not referring to sauce here, seek another meaning in dictionary) back. I bought some indigo blue and pink candles, incense and headed home to make some sofrito and redirect my qi. Celia is right: Life is a carnival if you know where to go. read more

Fresh food cafateria style. I'm not sure what all the foods are and have to ask other customers sometimes but, it's always good. The lady behind the counter serving does not speak a lick of English and my Spanish is not up to par so I always end up getting more than I really want. Their chicharon is super good and they chop it up to however much you want into bite size pieces. The con leche is also really good. I've had about 6 different things there and they've always been fresh. The food comes out fresh and hot early in the morning. Its crowded with workers getting their lunches to go. This place is also very very cheap for the quality and quantity they serve. Lots of choices. It is very had to find though it's in the back of a Latino grocery store across the side street from Home Depot in Brandon on 60. read more

This is not only a grocery store, it is an amazing place to grab breakfast lunch or dinner. Homemade style foods that are very filling, and very inexpensive. I almost felt like I was stepping into Puerto Rico and buying all of my favorites all over again. Make sure you check in on Yelp, there is a 10% off coupon for first time goers. Right outside the doors you can get fresh coconut to eat eat or drink. Or you can even buy some sweets out by the door door. Great experience love it, we'll be back again. read more

Love the variety here. All of the employees are very friendly and helpful. Limited parking but people come and go quick. Fabulous restaurant in the back for to go or to eat in. You will find things here that you can't find any place else in Tampa. read more

Place is amazing great food for a great price. Love coming here when I'm in the mood for a Latin dinner.

Just got back from my last trip to Latinos supermarket. They used to have great food at a very reasonable price. My last three trips were terrible. They must have changed ownership. The food is flavorless. The red beans which used to be awesome was watered down,not guisada and lacking savor, as if they are using canned beans. . Their cook must have learned to cook in prison. On top of all they jacked the price. As I stated in the beginning, this was my last trip. Now looking for a good restaurant / deli. Don't waste your time. Flavor has left the building. read more

This place is the REAL DEAL folks! I inadvertently discovered the Latino Supermarket while running errands for a friend(picking up specialty coffee at the market section). What I expected was a small Latino store. Suprise! The restaurant was the best part! Real Latin food prepared by real moms and grandmas who know their stuff! Menu is diverse, food is fresh and hot and the prices are insanely reasonable. Staff is very friendly I must say and when I asked for help they translated for me. Dining area is unassuming so don't expect 5 star accommodations. Jeans &T-shirt atmosphere. Only complaints are lack of English signage for food, parking and waiting in line due to the popularity. That says alot though! Almost a privilege to wait for this authentic and impressive culinary treat. read more

A few years ago this place had the best Cuban/Puerto Rican cuisine with excellent prices that were fair for every customer. Now, the food is mediocre and the prices seem to be subjective. The amount of food you get depends on who you are and the price seems to depend on how the person who is preparing your food feels that moment. The fact that the food doesn't even taste as good anymore makes it all together not worth it. Don't waste your time or money. read more

I purchased and paid for picana steak (prime piece) however when I barbecued it right before taking it to the table I noticed that it was not picana (picanha). The label said "argentina", though, someone is cutting regular meat in the triangular shape of picana, keeping the fat on top of the piece to make it look like picana. i want my money back. read more

The family and I moved to Tampa two years ago and were told about this place by a family friend. As a Latino that loves to cook with a wife that can whip up a mean plate of goodies, I cannot stress how important being able to find the ingredients necessary to make our traditional dishes can be. That being said I'll start with the good. Latino Supermarket? Hell yeah! Groceries: The store is extremely well stocked with every type of item you'll need and some you haven't seen in a while. I was pleasently pleased when I saw banana leaves for pasteles as an item in the store, (hey, it beats jumping the fence and taking your neighbor's banana leaves! JK!). The butcher shop is old school, you can see them cutting your order for you with well practiced expertise and the selection is ample. The entire store is clean, everything is well organized and the vegetable selection is awesome. Specialty Items: From Friamberas (lunch pails), grinders, mortars and pestles you will find it here (we just bought a meat grinder today!). I also noticed there's a new hair salon inside, and a pawn shop. The Bakery: Has a wide selection of deli-meats, cheeses, pastries, cakes, cookies, bread, and sandwhiches. The Staff: Excels in their customer service, everyone is more than happy to help you and answer questions. The Restaurant: When you don't want to cook or have family coming over and don't have the time, this is where I go. The food selection is mind-boggling, you could eat for weeks and not eat the same thing twice. The portions are hearthy and the price is more than fair. Unfortunately here's the bad. The restaurant food used to be awesome, you could not go wrong. Don't misunderstand, it's not that I'm picky, well, yeah I am. But I've been coming in for two years of deliciousness and a few months ago I notice, "Hey, they're under new management....oh boy." With trepidation I buy my staple plate of yellow-rice and pigeon peas, sweet plantains and tender juicy pork. But the pork was dry, the plantains...I have no words. It could have been an isolated incident, it happens in the best families. So, after a couple of months I come in with my family, shop a little bit and grab some take-out for an early dinner. My wife, had the Mangu, a cucumber salad and pork chunks. She had no complaints about two of the items (more on that ahead). I had the white rice, red beans, yuca and pork chunks. I mentioned earlier That the dry pork could have been an isolated incident but how do you get three out of four items on my plate wrong. The rice was a mixed bag of cooked and undercooked, how does that even happen? The yuca was dry, dry, did I mention dry? The pork chunks were so over cooked you could not squeeze moisture out of them with a vise, their only redeeming quality? A home defense weapon. The good part of my plate were the watery beans, they had good flavor but I poured them over the rice. This makes me sad, I hope they bring back whoever the old cook was. Isolated incident or just unlucky? I'll wait two months and try again, I'm not giving up...you hear that management? Now take that cook to the back lot and beat him with a stick, then send him out to find the old one! read more

I don't typically give a negative review unless it is an extremely bad or unethical business. After being a customer ever since new management took over, which has been over 5 years, I finally had enough with this business. Every year for Christmas Eve, we order a 40lb pork (pernil, cajita china) over a month in advance and pay $7.99/lb. This translates to $319.99+ and exactly $340 including tax and sides. Although we have noticed they've been a lot lighter in the previous years than what we paid for, we didnt have time to go back and dispute it. This year, we weighed the pork in the box and it was exactly 20lbs. The box alone is about 3-5lbs so that means the pork weighs only 15-18lbs MAX. We went to come to an AMICABLE resolution and asked either for a refund of half our payment or another pork to make up for the 20lb difference that is missing. That's 50% of our payment or about $160 they kept from us. They made a bunch of excuses from "someone else may have taken yours" to "we sold you pork and you got pork". As if 40lbs of pork at $7.99/lb is the same as 15lbs of pork. I get this logical argument. NOT! One gentleman that worked there told us that they'd give us our 50% refund and would do anything to make our Christmas dinner better. After about 30 minutes arguing with the cook and frontdesk lady, a higher up manager (Willy) told the staff to give us a full refund and requested that we don't come back to order again. How illogical and unethical can a business be? This is as bad as it gets! A logical businessperson would've apologized for the inconvenience and given us our money back or the service/product we paid for. Some would even go as far as throwing something extra in the deal to make up for their mistake. NOT Latino Supermarket of Brandon/Valrico Florida. They think that because we spent 30 minutes arguing with them and they gave us a refund this is not FRAUD or akin to stealing from their customers. Another illogical point made by this unethical business. We know for certain, we are not the only ones they are defrauding with their underweight holiday pork every year which is considered fraud. When we picked up the order, before noticing it was underweight, one of the owners was telling us how they were tired of this business because it is no longer as profitable. I guess their solution to make it more profitable is selling 40lb of pork and only giving customers 15lbs-18lbs. Yes, this is fraud and as someone who has extensive legal experience I will proceed to open an investigation on these fraudulent activities. I ask anyone who orders anything from Latino Supermarket to VERIFY they are getting what they paid for. It's sad that these people have the opportunity to be seen as ethical Latino business owners and instead defraud the very people that helped them grow. They say arrogance is usually what destroys an empire and although they aren't an empire, they are already self destructing. Good luck and Merry Christmas, Latino Supermarket! You will need it next year. read more

I found this place one day when I was taking my cousin for a haircut at the nearby barber shop. All I have to say is this place is a Spanish food paradise - you can find so many products there are not anywhere else and the prices are very competitive. I have never seen so many Goya cans in my entire life. The deli/food area is pretty decent and certainly served at a value, but I didn't find myself raving after trying it. The meat shop sells meat at excellent products and they do not skimp out on the product. Many produce items seem to be sold at standard prices, but the avocados are $1 and that is a miracle because so many avocados were perfect! I am not sure if that was a fluke or not, but if that is the regular price of avocados there - I would travel there just for that. Avocados are part of the diet of any former California resident or Spanish person and it is that which left me with a very positive feeling about the Latino Supermarket. read more

I love eating lunch here! I used to frequent the cafeteria style eatery next to the supermarket weekly when I used to work in Dover and still is one of my favorites. The line can be long during lunch, but it moves fast, and you really need the time as you are inching towards the front of the line to look at all the offerings so you will be ready to place your order. It so sooooo authentic, if you don't speak Spanish, you have to just point. Basically, for $7, you get to fill a large 3 compartment to the top, and I do mean to the tippy top. There are at least 4 kinds of Rice, and a couple types of beans, and other sides, like garlic yuca, plantains, and entrees like roast pork, ribs, chicken, fish, chicken wings, you name it, and a whole section of salads too. Some days, they have oxtails (more expensive, maybe $10), all kinds of stews, and believe me, it is hard to pick. I usually ask for my beans in a separate container, which means even more food! My container feeds me 3 times, no kidding. Today, I had the bbq pork ribs, so tender, flavorful, and juicy, with yellow rice with meat, black beans, and garlic yuca. Sooooo good! read more

I was headed to a friend's house to sit and work a bit on a few projects but I knew I would need to pick up something to eat on the way because I hadn't eaten. I was certain I would not be able to focus and work on an empty stomach. So I considered all of the standard quick pick options when I remembered her telling me about a latin market near her house which served good and inexpensive food. Yes both of which are right up my alley. I decided to stop and see for myself. She was not lying they had a full service restaurant in the back of the supermarket. Although I am not hispanic, you would think I was with as much as I love the food from many spanish speaking countries. I was delighted. The only challenge was trying to figure out what each of the dishes were since they were not marked. There were so many options that I wish my friend was eating too so that I could try more of the food items without being a true glutton. I settled on getting stewed chicken with arroz con gandules, platanos maduro and black beans. The plate is so full they wrap it with saran wrap so that it does not spill in transit. The cost of this plate was $5.79 before tax. I had enough food that it last for lunch and dinner. It was flavorful and good. Not gourmet but just like I would expect from one of my friend's mother or grandmother; which was just what I wanted. I would definitely go back here without a doubt and try some other items. Be aware that this place is popular so the favorites run out quickly. When I arrived at 11 am they were already out of empanadas for the day. read more
