    Dry as a bone

    We ordered from Uber Eats and ended up throwing everything away for not taking a chance to get sick. Luckily Uber Eats refunded us, but damn this was disgusting.

    Parking out front is limited but the turnover rate is fairly quick. A good hole in the wall lunch spot. The food is located to the right in the back and groceries are to the left. You also pay for your food at the register in the front. They have daily specials and the portions are not only generous but inexpensive. There's seating inside so you can dine in should you choose. I got the goat with rice and maduros. The maduros hit the spot. I had to resist ordering empanadas too because my feasting eyes were bigger than my stomach. I was so full from my meal I took half home and didn't have room for the guava pastelitos I was eyeing for dessert. The colada was a perfect pick me up for after lunch and all my co-workers enjoyed it when I brought some. So definitely a good value for lunch or for your afternoon coffee. They also do breakfast foods too in the morning but I never gone there except for lunch.

    Trying to find a great sandwich shop in Lutz on a Sunday isn't easy, but thanks to Yelp I found The Latin spot. First and foremost, it's a market with all kinds of Latin food items, produce and cold drinks. It also has a Deli and butcher shop, which was why we came. They have some sundries as well, shampoo, soap ,and other such products, i didn't pay too much attention. They even have Colombian food products! My focus was the Food they make in the back, namely Cuban sandwiches. Being a Tampa native and spending a great deal of my youth in Ybor city working and playing, I have a high standard for Cuban sandwiches. I must say this is one of the best cubans i have had outside of the Ybor City area. It was hot pressed and you can customize your toppings for a non traditional cuban, I added Mayo along with mustard and pickle. Blasphemy! It was great, hot toasty cuban bread housing a big portion of meat and cheese at a good price. They have hot foods ready to eat like yellow rice and black beans, red beans, and other Latin favorites. It all smelled wonderful. Upon smelling the food i also ordered the black beans and yellow rice and they drizzled it with juice from the beans. It was a huge portion for only $3.99. The flavor was there, and texture was right on point. My friend got Plaintains also and she thought they were under cooked, but i thought they were just fine. I noticed an espresso machine and i found myself unable to go without a café con Leche. I was rewarded with a piping hot delicious coffee that had me wired in no time. All of this food and drink in my belly made for a great Sunday afternoon. There is outdoor and indoor seating for enjoying your food right on the spot. Which is hard to avoid, it smells so good in there. Do yourself a favor, if you find yourself at Lutz lake fern and US 41 stop in for a cuban and a Coffee.

    We were in the area visiting from Winter Haven and after seeing they had vegetarian cheesesteak…read moresandwiches, we absolutely had to try Capriotti's. They did not disappoint whatsoever. Between the friendly and super accommodating staff to the size of the sandwiches and the overall quality of the food, we were thrilled. What a great meal! We will be back next time we are in the area!

    I have been wanting to try this place, so yesterday we finally did. We ordered 3-10 inch subs and…read moreone bag of chips. It was almost $56.00 (they ask for tips too on top of insane prices). WTH? 2 of us ordered Waygu beef subs and 1 ordered a Bobbie turkey sub. We were sadly disappointed in what we got for the price. I had higher expectations for Waygu beef, and the prices are insane for a sub. There was not much meat (maybe 4 ounces???), and the provolone was paper thin cut. The Bobbie had stuffing that was dried out and too salty. My son had to remove it as it was inedible. The beef was really no different than Boar's head London broil. I tasted it separately from the sandwich and is just medium rare deli roast beef. I had only lettuce and tomato on my sub, as I am allergic to onion. It was very bland and parts of the beef were actually a bit chewy. I just do not see any perceived value for the prices they charge. At almost $19 a sub with tax and a 10% tip, I honestly felt grossly ripped off. It really just an $8 sandwich. We could have eaten at a chain sit-down restaurant for less money per serving. Although they were friendly and fast to prepare them, that seemed to be the only positive part of my purchase. Publix subs put them to shame. Would I return? It is a hard no. If you are charging over $16 for a smaller sub, it had better exceed expectations. I cannot see them staying in business too long with these prices. This was a failure for us. There are so many other options nearby for a better sub (that are bigger and cheaper), but this one was not a win.
