I have been here twice and both times I've had a very plentiful and delicious meal. You can get a very large portion of food for cheap here, I truly wish more places like this existed. I've gotten their crispy pork belly, carnitas as well as the rotisserie chicken with rice and a side. Everything I've gotten has been great and more than enough for a couple separate meals. The gentleman who explained how everything works on my first visit was very friendly as well. read more

Lavita Bistro - Rotisserie chicken, rice, sweet potato - Latin American Near Me - Lehigh Acres, Florida

If you drive through Lee Blvd near Gunnery Road, you'll notice there is a fresh new sign erected, "Lavita Bistro" and there are many parked cars in the former David and Deborah Greenlaw's Deb Seafood in Lehigh Acres. If you think that Lavita Bistro is an Italian establishment, you are off. It is fast-casual Latin infused cuisine. The building has been vacant for some times! Owner of nearby Brasa's Steak and Grill take another spin at this spot! On a Sunday little after 5 PM, we stop by and we want to sample their food! This is a fast casual establishment; prepared foods were served for take out or you can eat in a 40+ seats dining area. We were greeted warmly! We spotted Arroz Congri (Moros Rice), Fried Rice, Ropa Vieja (shredded beef), Carne con Papas (beef stew) and Rabo Encendido (oxtail stew) in the first hot food section. Quick survey, tells us there are many other choices. But immediately, my instinct tells me, you got try your favorite oxtail! Wife was oscillating between shredded beef and beef stew. She opted for beef stew. Our drinks were simple, bottled water and a Jarrito's Mandarin drink! Both dishes were spot on and flavorful. Oxtail stew was made in a flavorful beef-tomato broth that's slow-cooked for hours until the oxtail meat is tender and fall-off-the-bone juicy. It is mouthwatering! In fact, Michael (or Mai Kor) behind the counter telling us if you don't like the food, it is free! The portions are huge! We took home the left over for lunch next day! There are ceviche, shish kabab and other Latin flavors, as well as bakery items, Gelatos, fresh fruit juices and Sandwiches available. We like the setup in the dining area. Tasteful decorated and clean but only have a small short artistic waste container. Probably need one or two fairly large waste containers to accommodate possible 40+ customers. This is 4.5 stars upping to 5 stars! Definitely will be back. I just texted my friend, see you at Lavita for lunch, on Tuesday! read more

Food is delicious, very flavorful. Love the specials for those weekdays when it's to busy to cook. Nice spot with a Miami vibe

Well this place has only been open on its second day. After my hubby and I arrived many people flooded the place for dinner. They didn't have all the different food ready to eat but what they had was very delicious! They have a very clean place and a really nice dining area off to the left. After you select your food you can get it to go or get it to eat there. They have such a great variety from Latin America fusion food, pasta bowls, pizza smoothies, yummy pastries. My hubby got a very delicious pork chop, two hot buttered cobs along with steamed rice. I got a fettuccine with vodka sauce and added grilled chicken pasta bowl. So much food and so freshly made. The owner Michael is also the owner of Brasas Steakhouse and Grill in Lehigh Acres. He was very personable and even made sure our food was freshly made. We shall return again and will give them time to put out on display of all of their yummy food. Well done! read more

Amazing authentic cuban food Excellent service everything i tried was amazing and the owner serves you as if your family read more

What a treat! Being a Miami native, I can be a pretty hard judge when it comes to Latin food and when you add my pickiness, it's takes delicious for me to type that word and the food here is delicious. You can smell delicious for the wee-lil parking lot-ito, all the way inside. Although I know Spanish, and ordered in Spanish the first time I ate here, some servers knew English and helped my husband when i sent him back a second time solo. Everyone is so sweet and helpful. Cant have too many good food spots in one area, so im glad we keep adding to ours. :) read more

Brian and Nemory were very attentive servers who brought us our food quickly. We all tried something different to share with each other. Our favorite choices were the salmon and the pork spareribs. We also had some desserts, but they were a little too sweet for my taste. As for the ambience, the front area is very attractive with lots of different foods and desserts. The dining area is not overly extravagant. But in my humble opinion, it could use a little bit more decoration. This is normal for a new restaurant and I believe in time it's going to look great! I would highly recommend trying out this restaurant. read more

Lavita Bistro - Father's Day meal - Latin American Near Me - Lehigh Acres, Florida

Exploring the area. I believe they are on the newer side when I went. The food was good. They were generous on the amount of food. The service was kind especially for new comers. I went a little before peak lunch time, so it was a bit empty but the place was lively when I departed. The staff is very friendly. I'm sure this place will be even more great in the time to come. read more

Lavita Bistro - Ropa Vieja, Plantains & Yellow Rice - Latin American Near Me - Lehigh Acres, Florida

This place has become a total joke! Over charging on items and if you DoorDash your food it will take them multiple deliveries to get it right and even then they don't get it right. I spent $116 dollars and it was a joke. Rude ass staff with no common sense. Mind you this same issue has happened to me 3 times fuck this place straight up! read more

The food is totally amazing. They have a variety of things to pick from even for the picky person. There's something good to eat. My wife and I love going there and we're definitely going back. read more

I was looking for something different in Lehigh Acres when I saw this place on Yelp. Lehigh Acres is in desparate need of new restaurants. This is a sit down eatery with a counter of hot food to go or eat in. If you are going for lunch they have several specials that come with 2 sides and are affordable at $9.99. I of course didn't go with one of the specials although they did look quite good. I opted for the oxtail with Mashed potatoes and black beans. The oxtail was tender, flavorful and well seasoned. The mashed potatoes were real potatoes. Nothing instant here. The black beans were a bit saucy but were well prepared. I thought what I ordered was a bit pricey, but again I didn't order any of the specials. Aside from the feel of mostly Latin type food this eatery offers pasta and pizza as well as a breakfast menu and select pastries. The staff was super friendly and attentive and the Owner was on site and active within his business. He was very welcoming and attentive to the needs of his customers. I went at lunch and the place was quite busy. I would absolutely recommend that anyone who appreciates good food give this place a try. read more

Service was great but honestly food quality was poor. Maybe it's re heated food? Old? It's the only thing that would explain the sour taste. Ambiance was okay. But I will not be going back. Nope. read more

The congris is the best congris I've ever had. The yuca delicious. Everyone was so sweet. They let us try everything before buying which is thoughtful. Please pass by the prices are great the food and the people read more

They make the best food in the area period . No oder restaurant/ bakery made those flavors... Keep the good work la vita!!!

The staff is friendly, place is super clean and food was delicious. The set up is similar to a cafeteria/ bakery with a lot of choices of already prepared meals for you to easily pick, especially if you are in a hurry. They also have ala carte items in case you prefer to order something not in their daily menu/display. read more

Stood by the burritos/wraps/sandwiches section for over 15 minutes and did not get acknowledged or served. People who came in after us got served, at that point we walked out. Bad service, couldn't even get to order, and won't be back to try again. read more

Everything from the food to the staff to the cute little table and chair set up was amazing! My husband and I were ecstatic to see that it was open after 8! We plan on bringing our kids back and highly recommend this place to everyone! read more
