Ok I must admit, after moving back to Florida, but in the Bradenton Sarasota area we have been…read morelooking for good places to eat. Some have been found whereas others are a waste of money. Bitia's is a pleasant surprise, clean friendly staff and great food, nothing negative. We will be back. Menu in front is all Spanish, ask and they will print a menu.

Some of the best food you are going to find and at an unbeatable price. My wife and I were craving…read moremexican food, and this Salvadoran restaraunt hit the spot. When we walked in and no one was speaking english, I knew we found the right spot. The lady behind the counter was helpful in assisting us with what to order. We ordered a pastor burrito, quesadilla, and two papusas. I think our order total was around $25 or $30, which is unheard of (especially for us over-orderers). The food was great, while I think the pastor was a little under-seasoned (from what we are used to), overall we very much enjoyed everything we ordered. We will definitely be returning!

The women who served me were incredibly nice! Service was also very quick. At $3 per taco I thought…read morethe price was very much worth it considering the portion of meat in each taco. I also loved the fresh radish, cucumber, AND avocado slices included with the tacos. Truly just the cherry on top! I got al pastor and carne asada and both were great. Will definitely be coming back! I will note that there is limited parking as well.

Well, two stars because what was I thinking purchasing a $25 chicken…read more I obviously love rotisserie chicken, so I decided to try something different. I think it was mojo seasoned, but I could be wrong. Strong seasoning. The chicken was made before, not to order, it was hot. It was a little overcooked and extremely salty. I still enjoyed to be different than the typical you get at the store. They say "a la brasa", which means cooked with wood or charcoal, but I couldn't taste it at all, so I would say it was cooked with gas. Never again.

The place only has outdoor seating, so expect some heat during the summer, but just order a refreshing drink and you'll be fine. We also ordered a Venezuelan breakfast with eggs, black beans, carne mechada, and arepas, and we enjoyed it. The owners are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended if you know Venezuelan food or want to try it.

My husband and in laws just wanted some yummy traditional food. We ordered some tequeños and a bunch of different arepas. These were solid but they were nowhere near the best we've had. We also got some of their house-made lemonade and we did enjoy it! The locale is cute and simple. The staff was a little standoffish but it wasn't a big deal. This is a decent option if you're in a hurry, or if it's very convenient.

We had a delicious but difficult to eat soup at Coco's Bistro last night. The soup, or stew, was…read morecalled Sancocho and was a special being offered. This is an order at a counter they call your name when your food is ready sort of place. Once it was obvious we didn't know what to eat as we stared at the overhead menu board, our order taker turned on the charm and sold us on this soup, made with short ribs. We also got a set of three Empanadas, which were described as being small size. I thought the soup broth was delicious, rich in flavor. Using a plastic soup spoon for eating larger items showed I didn't know how to eat this particular popular Latin dish. I finally gave up and started using my hands to separate meat from excess fat and bone, and I have no idea how else you can eat the corn still on the cob without just picking it up. The Empanadas were indeed small and were mostly thick pastry. We liked the place with its bright white faux brick walls and food photos. Nice background music played. It's a small place, I counted 5 tables and a few more seats facing out to the parking lot. Everyone was friendly.

I beg you: come hungry! You're going to want to try everything!…read more I was on my way back to Tampa from Sarasota and decided to stop in. This standalone restaurant is on a busy road, but has plenty of parking and a little lake next to the lot. It's big but cozy, with a fun decor-lots of booths and tables in two different rooms plus a bar to belly up to. My server was sweet and attentive-but didn't hover. She had perfect timing. The complimentary chips were warm and the salsa had just a little kick to it-good combo. I had to order the white queso dip... I mean, who am I if I don't try the queso? It was silky and comforting. I ate every drop. By this time I was full-but I wanted to try more things. I ended up going with the build your own: one taco (really tasty! Simple but oh so good!), one chile relleno (generous serving-lots of meat and cheese/less pepper) and one chicken enchilada Suiza (I think it was dark chicken-but check me on that). This is a lot of food-and you also get two sides! I chose rice and black beans-which were both excellent. The lunch menu has great choices/prices and there's a happy hour from 3-7 (not sure if it applies to the weekend-should have checked-sorry!). The booth was comfy and it wasn't loud in there (except for the folks next to me-who I now know wayyyyy too much about!) I think the ac was out when I was there-or on its last legs. But that's fixable. I'll definitely go back again. I had the house margaritas this time (good! Perfect sweetness levels-lightly strong, if that makes sense) and want to try others on the list. Clean-casual-good service-big menu. Thanks, Poblanos! See you soon!
