Bella Flan Richardson

Food, service, quality - all 10/10! What's better than fresh potato balls you ask? Pro tip: eat them with tapatio. Fireeeee! Anyone from CA or that is familiar with Portos - this is the closest we have and it's pretty good. I haven't had any of their sandwiches yet but will soon, give them a try if yall haven't yet!

Rejoice California transplants! If you long and miss Porto's, this place will bring tears of fatty joy and nostalgia. Not only is the owner here the sweetest person, they take great pride in their fantastic food. The interior has a cheerful & welcoming atmosphere to complement the service. I took my friends who are Cuban food snobs and they were blown away by the food here. Here are my top favorites that will delight your culinary palate: 1. Guava Pastelito/ Guava & Cheese pastelito. Words can't describe this culinary delight so try it yourself and you'll see why words doesn't do this justice. 2. Quesitos (cheese roll)Amazing, flakey sweet roll with a gentle vanilla cream cheese filling. It's so rich but dangerous because I put away 4 rolls without realizing it. 3. Crawfish Potato BallIf you love crawfish etouffee, this is like savory little etouffee bites stuffed in a potato ball. These things are huge! Like small baseballs! The Cuban sandwiches are bursting full of flavor and the plantain chips are the best I've ever had. I'll be leaving more reviews as I sample everything on the menu while succumbing to fattiness.

wow, this place is definitely more like a 4.5 out of 5 stars. the interior is fairly small, and can only seat like 10 or so people. luckily when i went it was empty and i was able to grab a seat and got the food fairly quick. i ended up getting the bella frita, since i wanted to remind myself of when i was back in miami and had those frita burgers. i don't know but something about the haystack fries on top of sandwiches is elite tier. The only downside for the bella frita is the really think smash patty. it was almost as think as a credit card, wish it was a bit bigger. i also ended up getting a bunch of snacks to bring home. multiple potato balls with different flavors and some Croquettes. for those who have lived in southern california or have visited portos, you know how delicious those potato balls are, and this one is no different. if i'm ever in the area, i'll definitely be back and try the cuban sandwich next time. Something i found interesting, i think the owner is an older asian female, amazing how she can come up with delicious cuban eats.

Happened upon this last weekend after church. The menu is very simple. The staff is very happy and there to help. We both had the Cuban sandwich. Will have to admit, one of the better Cuban's I've had in DFW. The plantain chips were to die for. And for dessert. Never been a big fan of flan, but now I'm a convert. This "cuban" flan was insanely good. We also tried a hybrid chocolate cake and flan. So good.Highly recommend. We will be back.

Bella flan is amazing! Bought a party size chocolate flan cake here, not only was it delicious but mom-daughter duo behind the counter was super friendly! Next time I will have to stop in for some of the other dessert and savory pastries! Highly recommend!

Finally got to try Bella Flan! It was semi-busy for a Saturday morning. We ordered 1/2 sweet cafecitos while we waited and they were perfect for a rainy morning. We got the Cuban sandwhich (votes Dallas's best Cuban sandwich in 2023!) and the poblano and original potato balls. The Cuban was delicious! They give you a generous serving of fried plantain chips to accompany it. It was filling and had the perfect balance of rich and tangy flavors. The potato balls were delicious & im definitely adding Bella Flan to my must eat again list.

This is a cute little restaurant tucked in the back corner of a strip mall off of Arapaho Road. As the weather cools, I imagine more people will be hanging out on the covered patio enjoying the cooler air while drinking a Cubano cordito, small espresso with steamed milk (and sugar). I briefly felt like I was in Little Havana in Miami. There are lots of desserts and pastries to choose from, especially flan, the establishment's namesake. I still haven't tried these, but the display case with the guava one is on my list for my next visit. So far, I've indulged in the Cuban sandwich and the vegetarian version. The Cuban is delicious, and - I - mean - every - bite! They have figured out the art of making sure mustard touches every corner of the bread, and that the thinly sliced pickles and pork are in every bite of the sandwich. I can't tell you how happy this made me. The sandwich is flat, similar to a panini which took me by surprise. It is also elongated. While I didn't appreciate this initially, I realize, it's like you get to enjoy the Cuban experience longer with smaller bites. The vegetarian Cuban sandwich is made with mushrooms and pineapple. These two are an odd combo I would never have considered. However the texture of the two together on the sandwich really did work well together. I didn't notice the sweetness of the pineapple at all. However, the Cuban sandwich taste is definitely different than the real meat version. The vegetarian sandwich is an acceptable lunch item, but if you have your heart on the real taste of Havana, you'll have to get the meaty version. The poblano cheese ball was an add on. It isn't spicy at all. In fact, it is bland. I dumped hot sauce on it to give it a punch. The texture of the perfect panko ball with the hot oozy cheese inside was lovely. Plantine chips come with the sandwich. They are thinly sliced and lightly salted. These are great for snacking, and you receive a lot of them either your sandwich. I ended up bringing them home because it was too much to eat. My big complaint is the use of styrofoam clambshell containers. Even if you eat at the restaurant, they serve your meal in this environmental abomination. There are so many other options available these days that are better for the environment and not hard on the pocketbook. Please consider this change!

Hospitality here is 100/10. Everything was amazing. The frita is not your typical frita but it was still delicious. Definitely coming back.

This place is fantastic! The food is absolutely amazing, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the customer service is top-notch. Highly recommend!

Great service, very nice woman.Immediately welcomed in a genuine fashion.Warm food, fresh dessert.Cute and clean inside, the restroom was clean as well! Napkins at every tableI had the crawfish potato ball 8.5/10 maybe prefer more potato but who am I kidding it was large, toasty, excellent seasoning and multiple crawfish pieces. Nvm it is 9.5/10 !!!
