Camarones Empanada de Coco with Arroz con Gandules, Tostones de Pana and an oce cold Medalla.
Lisa G.

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!!!!

Fried Chicken / Chicharrones de Pollo

I had to order due to being and work and was afraid it would be cold. However, the food was hot and delicious. It was worth the wait and I would order again

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.

Fried yuca. Try it with mayo ketchup

This was 5/5 stars. The food was delicious and felt home cooked. The service we had from our waiter Joahan was incredible. We will be back!

Pork and empanadas

This place serves phenomenal food, it's a casual setting, no view, but you come here to eat and oh boy is the food among the best in Tampa Bay. Go eat here.

Fried Plantain

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.

Had the skirt steak, with chimichurri it was a cute place not busy, got in and out. Staff was really nice. Actually ran by Puerto Ricans according to the bar tender

Cocnut shrimp and steak
Jeanine L.

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!

Churrasco with tostones and habichuelas rosada

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.

Stuffed chicken breast with sweet plantain inside with cheese sauce on top. Tostones & arroz con gandules
Rachel M.

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!!

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.

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.

Buen provecho

Great environment, clean, delicious and they have lunch special. Really good food and they have a wide variety of menu items.

Food wasn't that tasty. The service is severely lacking and slow. Although, my can of soda was good. I won't be back.

It's been a few times that we've eaten at La Mordida, a Clearwater- based Peruvian-Colombian…read morerestaurant ( US 19 & 66th street ) . We have not been disappointed ever. The ample space is welcoming and decorated with an Andean - Latino ambience paired with soft piped- music . There is a restaurant section from which you can see the kitchen to the side. A complete bar is strategically placed behind a slightly- raised stage where live music can be enjoyed while trying any of the interesting cocktails , beers Or spirits ! On the other side one can find the bakery- souvenir shop where they sell many Colombian & Peruvian cakes, pastries and candies - yes it's THAT big Now down to the main event: food portions are generous ( we always end up bringing home some boxes ) and everything I have tried so far is so delicious , from the array of tropical juices , appetizers to share ( or not !) , main entrees , sides and desserts . There is something for everyone or you can plan to split! I enjoy the sides of maduros and the tostones. Food and service are perfect - it's no wonder La Mordida is here to stay !! Bravo !!.

Came here after a long day at work to have a drink and maybe check out some food, having heard this…read moreplace was pretty good. Turns out we made it for happy hour, which was well worth it! Got to try a bunch of things off the menu for cheap and top it off with a specialty drink (not on HH, but it was lovely). Adorable place (especially if you like llamas!!) And the service was very good, especially since we needed extra attention having never been there. We will be back!

Wow..the food here is so good.! I can't give it 5 stars as I…read moredidnt eat in person, we had it at the office for a coworkers birthday lunch. We all ordered different things from the combination plate to an old fashioned hamburger. Everything was delicious. Huge portions too. Homemade deliciousness filled our bellies and made it a happy workday!!

I flew all the way to St. Petersburg, Florida just for some real Colombian food this week--and man,…read moreit was worth every mile. My brother who lives there swore by this spot, and the second I walked into Mi Carreta, I knew he wasn't exaggerating. The Bandeja Paisa? Absolute perfection. We're talking perfectly grilled steak, a runny fried egg, sweet plantains, creamy red beans, fluffy white rice, fresh avocado, crispy chicharrón, and grilled chorizo--all on one glorious platter. I attacked it so fast I didn't even snap a photo, but trust me, that plate is burned into my memory forever. As if the food wasn't enough, the TV above the counter was showing the World Cup group draw live. We found out who Colombia is facing right there over lunch--talk about perfect timing! The whole place was buzzing. For the grand finale, we grabbed a few Colombian donuts (buñuelos and pandebonos) to go. Sweet, cheesy, impossible to eat just one. If you're anywhere on Florida's west coast and craving authentic Colombian food, do yourself a favor and head straight to Mi Carreta in St. Pete. You can thank me (and my brother) later!
