Visiting friends in Tampa and decided to eat at this place with friends who lived in the area;…read moreLocation its nice and clean, but service was rude and rushed by Cuban redhead Server ( she didn't mention her name) since we arrived mentioned that they were closing in 30 min ( we arrived a 7:20 pm ) and restaurant closes at 8pm. While taking a look of the menu, she mentioned again about not taking too long to order because the kitchen was closing soon, this was not even 5 min after giving us the menu ( if you are rushing to close just don't take more people and avoid having a bad attitude or experience ). Food 7 of 10 ( Venezuelan bbq was really good and tasty chorizos were delicious, sides were really well Cooked and flavory, Brazilian picanha was cooked perfect, chimichurri sauce was perfect but amount was very little, and cachapas were the weakest point.. cachapa had an old or musty aftertaste definitely horrible won't recommend it. Price is reasonable, first Venezuelan restaurant that I don't feel is overpriced ( 2 cachapas, 1 picanha 12 oz $52 ) As a former server.. please teach or do training sessions with servers to increase quality and positive outcomes. Food has a huge potential but experiences is what people take at the end of the day!

I've been here a bunch of times and it's one of my favorite places if I'm craving for cachapas…read more This time, they were just okay, but usually they're good. I got them with pork skewers, which were super fresh. The natural juices were so good and the tequeños were delicious. The service was great, they took really good care of us! It's a small place, but a good spot if you want to enjoy Venezuelan flavors. Overall, still a solid experience!

After looking at reviews on Yelp, we decided to check out Alma Llanera in St Pete. We made the drive and were welcomed when we walked in. They have a great overall selection on their menu, a variety of authentic Venezuelan dishes you can dig in to. Really, we were craving empanadas - but we are eager to try more dishes next time. We ordered three carne mechada empanadas (shredded beef hand pies), one cheese empanada, and two mora natural juices. Each orderaccompanied with a side of their house sauces that compliment the natural on-going flavors of the empanda - a creamy, white garlic sauce (salsa de ajo) and a cilantro based sauce (salsa de cilantro). The moment you sink you teeth into their empanadas, you're brought to a whole new world - A country called Venezuela! You are instantly met were explosive delicious flavors. The outter shell of the empanada has this savory, with a slight hint of sweet flavor. The inner part is stuffed with tender, satuéed shredded beef, you can taste the amazing flavors of the sofrito based meat. I would recommend anyone, someone who has yet to try this place to someone who eats empanadas on a daily basis, to come on and give them a whirl. It's a must try!

They have chicken soup and beef soup with carrots, potatoes, and squash served with white rice or arepa. We ordered both with white rice. Ask for lime too. It's so so good and filling! Their arepas and cachapas here are awesome too. Great service and clean inside! Really love love this Venezuelan restaurant! Their menus are also clear, concise, & have helpful pics.

I honestly can't remember the last time they got my order right. Even when I go to the restaurant myself, there are always things missing. The last time I ordered, the bag even had lipstick on it from the girl who was serving me. And don't even get me started on the prices--they're way too expensive for what you get. Overall, a really disappointing experience. I definitely won't be ordering from here again.

Overall not a bad experience I just enjoy the unique modern dishes that LCPX cafe offers more than what's offered here. I went with two other people and we shared the app and main entree and still had leftover food so the portions are HUGE!
