She also recommended a drink and a dessert that were great choices. You could feel that she really wanted us to have a memorable experience. Would highly recommend! And ask for Veronica!

The second that plate hit the table, it felt like I was sitting in her kitchen again. The breakfast here is everything I didn't know I needed : crispy golden potatoes, perfectly cooked eggs, sausage that actually tastes like sausage, and an arepa covered in melted cheese that could make you forget your problems. The passion fruit juice? Ice cold, tangy, sweet ; basically life support in a glass after an early morning workout. The atmosphere is warm, colorful, and inviting, like you're stepping into someone's home. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer, soaking in the vibe before heading back out. A friend recommended I check this spot out, and I owe him big time. If you're in Port Saint Lucie or Fort Pierce, make the trip. Your taste buds will thank you.

1 star La Perrada…read moredel Gordo - Worst service I've ever experienced My husband and I visited La Perrada del Gordo on July 11, 2025, with two family members. We ordered a Hawaiian hot dog, a Choriperro, two appetizers, and drinks, spending about $50. First, our server brought just one hot dog out of the four meals. It looked like a Hawaiian hot dog--pineapple, pink sauce, chips on top--so I assumed it was mine and ate it. However, when the rest of the food arrived over 20 minutes later, my husband realized he'd been given a Hawaiian hot dog instead of the Choriperro he ordered. We told the waitress, who took the plate back, but the manager came over and insisted that what I'd eaten was a Choriperro, not a Hawaiian hot dog. Despite me explaining that I'd already eaten the Hawaiian hot dog, she argued and refused to replace my husband's order with what he originally wanted. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, the manager returned to our table carrying a tray with an uncooked regular hot dog and a Choriperro to "teach" us the difference, as though we were clueless. It was humiliating and unnecessary. Yes, I mistakenly ate the wrong hot dog because it was covered in so many condiments that I didn't realize it was the Choriperro--but that's precisely why the staff should have helped fix the mix-up rather than argue and try to "educate" me. Rather than provide good customer service, the manager chose to belittle and embarrass us in front of the restaurant. My husband ended up eating a hot dog he didn't want or enjoy, and we left feeling humiliated and angry. I would never return to La Perrada del Gordo and absolutely do not recommend it to anyone. A simple mistake could have been handled kindly and professionally, but instead, the staff made it the worst dining experience I've ever had.

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!

He was very friendly but here is a list of things that went wrong. 1. Dan tried to imitate what Chinese sounded to him, speaking gibberish. Not cool. 2. He missed part of my order. 3. My friend got a shard of glass in his mouth. We noticed a chip in his glass. Dan said he'd talk to his boss and came back to say the shard matches the chip in the glass perfectly and apologized and said they'd comp part of the meal. 4. We never received a check but his manager brought me the device to swipe my card. I foolishly did without asking to see the bill. Got it texted to me when I noticed that nothing was comped AND we got charged for a pastry I didn't receive. 5. I went inside and asked for the pastry to go since we were charged for it. The manager tried to charge me for it a SECOND time. 6. My friend pointed out that nothing was comped and that isn't what they agreed to. They apologized and said they'd comp the whole meal. 7. The WHOLE charge hit my credit card today. I'm disputing the charge with my credit card company but I would definitely not return.

We were told there were only three soups left, so we immediately ordered two. A few minutes later, the waitress returned and said someone else had ordered the last one. That makes no sense when our table ordered first. This wasn't a simple mistake, it was poor communication and poor management. Situations like this should never happen in a properly run restaurant. Very disappointing experience and absolutely our last visit. We are going to try the casa del taco place next door. With so many other options nearby that offer respectful service and are ran properly, there's no reason to come back here.
