supp was overfilling with goodness and portion size what would seem to be an empanada should've been thrown out weeks ago. It was dried like a un burnt old piece of toast. read more

Excellent food and ambient. Servers are very attentive and prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!

Today we were in Largo for a family gathering and decided to stop afterward for a bite at Wepaa, a local eatery offering authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. Upon entering the small but quaint space one is immediately transported by the sounds of salsa and scents of home dancing in the air. The restaurant was very busy but the staff did their best to attend to all patrons and were pleasant and accommodating. We ordered a bevy of beautiful bites including Sorullos, Empanadas, Pernil, Chicharrón de Pollo, Camarones Empanada de Coco, Tostones de Platano y de Pana, Arroz con Gandules and they were all perfectly complemented by the Pique Boricua, ice cold Medalla and Mojitos de Coco. The food is authentic and truly delicious!! If you are in the Largo area and in the mood for some fantastic eats, Wepaa is a definite must try!!!! read more

So, I am Puertorican here recently decided to come to wepaa after craving some mofongo. Where else in Largo are you able to find some authentic Puerto Rican meal? None other than wepaa. They have done some renovations since my last visit and wanted to evaluate my experience. I only dined in for part of my meal and took the mofongo with pernil to go. The vibe inside in nice and clean. Art on wall reflecting Puerto Rico. They have a TV and in the new space a full bar. Seating is now abundant with the additional space. I had the beef empanadas and the pizza empanadas. I really enjoyed the flavor of the meat on the empanada l, really took me back to the island. The pizza empanada I would not recommend. We got our first one cold and the second really wasn't enjoyable. Either way the real empanadas was the beef. I also had the mofongo and again they got it out of the park, I recently visited Puerto Rico and was impressed with the food on the island l, thankfully the food here is equally as good. The service was also Johnny on the spot, once the cold empanada was identified she quickly corrected the problem and confirmed it was good before leaving the table. read more

WEPAA RESTAURANT - Pork and empanadas - Puerto Rican Near Me - Largo, Florida

We pass by here so often and keep saying we're going to try this place so we finally made it happen. We came here for lunch on a Saturday. The ambiance is festive and has decor that hints at their Puerto Rican roots. I went for the Cuban sandwich which was delicious and was a good portion. My husband and daughter ordered several different empanadas (they come 1 per order). What they weren't prepared at the size as they were expecting them to be smaller. They tried the shrimp, beef, chicken, and beef with plantains. My husband's favorite was the beef. He found the chicken to be a little dry, and the beef with plantains didn't have a lot of filling. My daughter liked all of her choices. We also did a side of plantains and those were delicious. Our server was friendly, but the service wasn't speedy. For a while it appeared she may have been working the entire restaurant by herself. We saw some other dishes that intrigued us so I'd say we'll be back to try some other things. read more

Love their empanada. The price and the value is the empanada was right. It was so good too.

Food was the best outside of Puerto Rico! The coconut shrimp with guava sauce was perfect, not too sweet and breading flavorful. The Picanha steak and chimichurri sauce were excellent. Staff was friendly and ambiance is excellent! read more

I lived in Puerto Rico for a couple years and I love Puerto Rican food. My wife is also half Puerto rican. Wepa is one of the few Puerto rican spots in Pinellas County. I went years ago and it was a little tiny place. We just went recently and they have expanded into the space next door. It's decorated very nicely with all kinds of Puerto Rican themed art. Its very clean and a pleasant place to eat. Their bar is stocked up eith plenty of liquor and they make some really good drinks. We had a coconut mojito and it was delicious. Now let's get to the star of the show....the food! It's as authentic as it gets and really really good. I had the churrasco steak with chchimichuri sauce. It was cooked perfectly . Their tostones were perfection and their red bean stew was awesome. I know some reviews talk about slow service. Well theybare on Island time. A slower pace is the true island experience. The people working here are real puerto ricans. If you want authentic Puerto rican meal this is the spot to go to. I'll definetly be back to try other dishes. read more

It's great food in a great atmosphere. I love the artwork they have in the walls. The people are really nice. The food is great.

Great spot for Puerto Rican food in Largo. We have been here a few times and there's really not much Puerto Rican food in the area that we know of so this is a great place for it. They can get pretty busy here so we were happy to have gotten a table. The last time we were here we ordered the stuffed chicken with stuffed with sweet plantain and cheese sauce. We also ordered a dufongo(mofongo) with a conch salad. They were great and quite tasty. Would definitely come back again. They have tables inside and in their interior area that is outside but inside if that makes sense. They are quite nice and helpful!! read more

We had a great first experience with Puerto Rican food here. If you're a first time try, definitely expect to eat a lot of fried food and do some research on the menu as you're ordering. The surface was great though, and everything we ordered seemed to be authentic, whether it was our preference or not. read more

A friend & I were in Largo yesterday and we came across this restaurant. I was so excited because there aren't that many Puerto Rican restaurants. There are loads of Latin ones, but not specific to Puerto Rico. I had to order my favorite: Pastel. They call theirs Pastel de Cerdo & it was savory & full of flavor. Of course I could not pass up Empanada Carne. The dough was light, not over done or oily and the meat was stuffed to the brim and flavorful. I ordered to go: Pernil with Arroz con Gandules. I was very pleased to see that the pork was not salty, which can be the case in some restaurants. That was not the case here. The rice was wonderfully flavorful. My friend, on the other hand was not as pleased by her food. Personally, I think it's because it's not a cuisine she normally eats. She ordered the Relleno de Papa & a Pizza Empanada. She found the stuffed potato to be a little bland, so I made the recommendation that she use a little bit of the hot sauce & she enjoyed it much more with that addition. Personally, I wouldn't have ordered a pizza empanada, but that is what she wanted to try. She did not enjoy it at all. There was very little sauce in it and mostly cheese. She ordered the same "to go" dish that I did for her husband & he enjoyed the food very much. Of course, we both had to have the Café con Leche. I actually drank mine without any sweetener, and I really enjoyed the flavor of the coffee! Too stuffed from the appetizers to try any dessert. One thing to note: I felt that the prices were unreasonable as far as their main dishes are concerned. The appetizers were priced "on point"; but the main dishes were over priced in my opinion. I just have a weakness for Puerto Rican food, so I was willing to overlook that. If I'm in Largo again, I would have no problem, trying different appetizers or a sandwich. Even my friend said she would as well. read more

We ordered the pernil which came with rice.. first of all, the meat was terrible no flavor and the rice tasted like microwaved rice... just hard rice. The chimuchirri sauce to eat with the yuca was terrible.. it just taste just oil with no flavor. And I was expecting better.. it was my first time eating Puerto Rican food and honestly it's way overpriced for the terrible plate that we ordered. read more

Our Saturday afternoon we decided to eat authentic Puerto Rican food and we have been to this resturant a few times, but this time...they failed. Sadly they have changed their products. It's not authentic anymore. You can tell mostly everything is bought frozen and then selling as 'gourmet'. There was no flavor whatsoever it was all bland. This is coming from people who are born and raised in Puerto Rico who cook their authentic food daily. (We should've cooked at home.) Their pricing does NOT match their food quality. YES, the concept, idea, location and decor were/are awesome! This Resturant need people who can manage their restaurant better. Wait time, dress code (not just a t-shirt), customer service etiquette on phone and in person. Previously, we had dropped by to request information and a quote for catering services for a future Sweet 16. Gave all the details, contact information did not receive a call back. Decided to call two days later because I thought it was enough time and the person who picked up my call took my information to pass the message I was never called back. Called them a week later and no one knew anything about my request nor was the person in, I decided to book another catering service. After 3 weeks they decided to call me. A restaurant needs employees and management that can handle every situation or at least be prepared for anything. Hopefully this review helps to improve this resturant. read more

We have been coming to WEPAA for a few months now and they have been flawless every time, The food reminded me of my grandfathers cooking and has tasted amazing since our first time eating at WEPAA but with todays experience with Liz and the greasy empanadas we will not be coming back anytime soon, our party had to wait 15 minutes before someone was taking our order or even offering us a chance to place our drink order , and by the time we were ready to walk out we finally had our order taken by Liz ,she had the worst attitude and after paying with a card with out giving us any time to get change for the cash tip she threw our receipt down on the table with an attitude cursed us out and walked away and at that point we weren't going to leave anything but being an ex server Knowing she has to pay a tip out we left a few dollars even though with her attitude she didn't deserve a penny , she may have been overwhelmed and over worked but that's not an excuse for rude behavior because who isn't overwhelmed and over worked in todays world read more

The food was amazing. This was my first time so I didn't dine in, just ordered it on door dash and picked it up. It was quick and easy, the order was ready when I walked in. People were sitting inside and outside enjoying themselves. The bar had cocktails flowing and it was majority full at 10:30 pm. The pork was seasoned perfectly and juicy. My sides were the yuca and rice & peas. Loved it. Will definitely go back, definitely to sit in sometime. read more

This was great! I've been to a few PR spots around Tampa/Clearwater and this is BY FAR the best one. It really did remind me of my moms cooking. We started with empanadillas de pionono (ground beef and plantains) and it was great! Fresh! Then they brought out garlic bread for the table I ended up getting the chicharrones de pollo with arroz con gandules and tostones de pana. 10/10! The tostones were so crispy and delicious! The service was great! I even got soursop juice and that just took me back to my grandmas house. I HIGHLY recommend you try it out if you want AUTHENTIC PR food read more

My girlfriend's mother is Puerto Rican, so we swung by here after an event we attended at a local Spanish church. Interior is pretty cool up front. They have this cool mural of all the major locations in Puerto Rico up an entire wall. The food is above average, and don't make the mistake of over ordering if you're hungry, because the portions are huge. I got the Stuffed Breast with 2 Sides (rice and plantains). It takes a little while to get your food, but not because their service is slow. It must have been an issue at some point because they literally have a sign when you walk in explaining why it might take longer to get your food. They're pretty committed to quality over speed, so if you just can't wait to get your entree, grab something faster on their appetizer menu, but be prepared to take a lot of your food home if you're not a professional eater. Worth a visit if you want clean, fresh Latin food. read more

I tell you what, the last time I truly was VERY disappointed with this place. The food was mediocre for the price. They must've given their cook the day off because the food was bland. Our bill was over 300 dollars for some appetizers and a few sandwiches. There were only 2 actual dinner plates out of this party of 9. Won't be back. BTW, I'm still waiting for my glass of water. read more

WEPAA has a lot of potential. Our server was great. My rice and bean beans were not. Both were lacking flavor. However, my carne frita and alcapurria were delicious. The seasoning on both was perfect. The rest of my party didn't like their food much. The main complaint was the their food was lacking in flavor. I am not sure if I would give this place another try. I just expected my meal to be better but I do appreciate the attentive server. read more

This is my go-to place for empanadas! They always come out so fresh and delicious! My favorite flavors are the beef and pizza. They also have amazing natural juices! I'm not sure about the authenticity of this place, I've had mixed reviews from both Puerto Ricans and non-Puerto Ricans. To me, the food is FIRE. I've gone here multiple times and seems like it takes a while to get seating, whether it is busy or not. The waiters also do not check on you that often. It's also helpful if you speak Spanish, some of the staff is Spanish speaking only. I love the vibe of the place though. It's so vibrant and colorful. I feel like it's authentic and it makes want to visit Puerto Rico and compare read more

Waiter has no experience. Waited for a while for food to come out. Food didn't have flavor.

I was excited to see a Puerto Rican restaurant in the area. If you know the difference, I've always preferred PR beans. Also I'm PR so maybe I'm bias. You walk in and they rep for La Raza I ordered Bistec Encebollado, Alcapurria, Platano Maduro, with white rice and beans. LOVED everything. The beans were exactly what I hoped they would be. The bistec was tender and juicy. Alcapurria js one of my favs and this one didn't disappoint. If you are craving this, stop by and enjoy. Forgot to take pictures of the food read more
