Simple interior but the food is where it's at!
Kawika S.

Being in Florida as I seldom am, I haven't really locked in any places that I always must go to. I know this: being this close to Puerto Rico I'm always trying to get a taste of that Caribbean flavor. So on a walk to Target, I couldn't help but notice the Pollo Tropical structure that sat right next to the store. Judging by the looks, it was exactly the type of spot that might be able to feed that unique tastebud. I'm guessing it was a converted Taco Bell or something else because the bones yelled of a familiar fast food chain that had been outfitted in a more island theme. The menu was interesting because it had some familiar Puerto Ricaño dishes but others that were unfamiliar. I thought I was gonna go with the Churrasco bowl that they were pushing but when I got closer and saw the combo chicken and pork, I had to change up! Another needed order was the sweet plantain (platino amarillo), so ordered me some of that too. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the yellow rice, so I was just given the white by default (but take my word for it: if given the choice, I'd always go for the more exotic choice!). Diving in to my plate, I went for the chicken first. Though a little dry, the taste was absolutely fantastic! A very nice seasoning made a regular piece dance. But by far, the highlight of the plate was the pork! Succulent, shredded pork with a simple yet wonderfully savory profile that sent me right back to the beach front kioskos in PR. Pair that flavor with the sweet plantains and you have a dish that explains to you the playful paradox of Caribbean cuisine. For me it was a wonderful dining experience where I didn't expect one. All that and I didn't even have to cross the Atlantic!

Tropi chop bowls and the sauces
Karolina K.

Being back in Florida, I couldn't skip one odd my favorite Florida fast food chain. The food was very good as I remembered from last year, delicious. The place was dirty, even if I saw many employees trying to clean it. Also the coke had a weird flavor and had no bubbles. It tested like bottled coke that was left open for to long. Per usual I had their tropi chop, the grilled chicken is wonderful and their salsa bar is always my favorite part of the meal. My favorite are pineapple rum sauce and cilantro garlic sauce. Their guava bbq sauce is also to die for, it goes very well with bbq ribs they have. A little spicy kick with the spicy sauce and I'm still set.

Boneless Chicken Breasts - With 2 Sides 1/4 Fire Grilled Chicken - With 2 Sides

The lady in drive thru had me repeat my order 3 times. Then proceeded to still get if wrong! I parked and went inside only for the "employees" standing around to tell me "this is all we have sorry". I wouldn't mind if it was something remotely close to my order but this is NOWHERE near what I ordered. This is the worst location I've ever been to. Don't waste your time.

1/2 Chicken Platter
Shorty S.

Just got 2 half chicken meals from this place and it tastes like its been sitting in a hot case for 8 hours my rice and my girlfriends rice is completely dry as well as the dry and hard as hell chicken yall gave us this place is a let down nasty waste of 20$

"Large" tropichop

Food quality is the same as ever but the portions are awful. You pay 10$ for a large tropi chop. To get less chicken than a 4$ sandwich. This is pretty much the standard for most locations as well. Probably the last time I'm gonna get food from here until they change management or something like that.

It's 300 and nobody gives a hoot

What is Pueblito Paisa? According to my Columbian friend, it is literally translated to "Little…read moreVillage Paisa". This is a charming little village nestled in Medellin, Columbia. With its cobblestone streets, white church, colorful buildings, plaza and breathtaking view on the Nutibara Hill, it becomes a popular tourist attraction in Medellin! Pueblito Paisa was built in 70's to replicate a typical Antioquian Village to showcase their lifestyle and heritage! Mi Pueblito Paisa started as food truck at 4509 Lee Blvd, Lehigh Acres serving Columbian cuisine. In late 2023, they moved to FGCU's University Village. It is situated next to Tacos and Tequila Cantina. It has six inside tables and more than dozen outside tables. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Sunday! We walked in for early dinner on Saturday. The staff is very hospitable, friendly and answered many questions we had. This location was a take-out restaurant with heavy deep-fried items. The ambiance was simple other than the huge Mi Pueblito Paisa sign with customs and hats. If you go to www. mipueblitopasia.com, or Facebook or Instagram, it still refers to the Lehigh Acres food truck location and menu. The new menu using QR code on the table was not working in my iPhone. The new menu at the University Village is greatly expanded. Their web site or social media is work in progress! I have images of some of popular Columbian dishes from home and with the help of our server, we ordered a Salchipapas, and Cazuela de Marisco with a nice Mora fruit drink! The Salchipapas, one of popular fast-food dish commonly served as street food. The Pueblito Paisa version has crunchy French Fries topped with sausage, pork belly, white cheese in condiments. The sausage and pork belly added the savory taste to the fries! The portion was huge and we took half portion home! Th Cazuela de Marisco was a seafood stew that is served with Avocado/tomato salad, coconut rice and fried plantains or tostones. This seafood stew was served with small shrimps, clams, scallops, and calamari but packed in flavor! The avocado/tomato salad with a little onion added a refreshing taste to the stew. Wife loves that coconut rice but she is not a fried plantain fan! If you like Columbian food, this is the place to visit! We'll back for more Sancocho, Bandeja and Picada!

I waited an hour for arepa. The restaurant wasn't even full. Food was delicious but we need quicker…read moreservice. Water didn't arrive until after being there 30 minutes.

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!

The food is flavorful, well seasoned, and done right. Nothing overpowered, nothing sloppy, just solid, authentic cooking that actually hits.

As soon as you enter, staff are quick to take care of you and make you feel at home. Our server Rosi made sure we were well taken care of and treated us like family. We started with their Mojito which was beyond fresh tasting and well balanced in flavor. They had cups prepared on the bar counter as it must be a staple item for them. We also ordered the Cuban Sandwich (full order) and a side of Sweet Plantains. The food was made fresh to order and you could tell from the taste. The Cuban is the best I've experienced with fresh bread, quality meat, and good portions of sauce/cheese. The portion as well was a great size or enjoy when hungry or share. The Sweet Plantains came with about 5-6 pieces. Most guests were also ordering a cuban coffee to enjoy. Overall, this was a great lunch spot! If you want to experience authentic cuban food when in the area, Rumba Cuban Cafe will not disappoint! Tip: Check their hours before going. They are open 10am - 3pm weekdays only.
