Don Criollo Bakery & Restaurant

This place is amazing!!! Everything is fresh and delicious, when my mother in law approves of the food cooked here then I know it good!!!!!

I was visiting my mother in Haines city and we decided to stop by this new Latin restaurant. Was a bit disappointed in the breakfast overall. The food was sitting in trays kind of like buffet style. Eggs were extremely over cooked just sitting there, not appealing at all. Breakfast should be made to order and not just sitting there.

Great food, delicious bread. The staff is friendly and the mondongo is amazing. I come every Sunday morning before church. We love them. Hot table food is good too. It comes out fresh at 10 am we had the cube steak with rice and beans. Delicious. The empanada the pizza was horrible. But other than that it has been good.

This place is a good option for "Criolla" food. The hot table has a nice variety of dishes and the size of served portions are big.The bakery is really good, it has the Puertorican taste , sweet but with a perfect balance. If you are into deep fried foods , you have several options and they are good.Also the price of the food is fair. No argument when it comes to pay the ticket.But there are some points that need to be improved; such as reduce the salt on the stewed meats, too salty and increase the use of garlic. But in other hand, the extra salt used on the sewed meats, can be used on the rice and beans. The texture is excellent but is missing taste.The service of the employees are good but is just is a little rude when they are taking about their personal issues when they are taking care of a customer , there are time for that later.The local is clean and nice, but ; I know this is going to sound rude, I don't feel comfortable eating my food feeling like I am on the middle of the church.Buen provecho!

Amazing Puerto Rican food but it tastes like Dominican food would definitely recommend it to everyone who is in the Haines City area !!!

Breakfast was good. Service needs to be a bit friendlier at the buffet table. Lunch was good as well.

Best pizza empanadas I ever had! Great service and plenty of things to choose from if you are in Haines city or nearby come try it out it won't disappoint..

The food was great, just not sure what I had. The only issue was that no one working with the counter spoke English.

Food is delicious. Went two days in a row! We got everything from arroz con gandules and chicken chicharrones to white rice, red beans and roast pork. All with great flavor. Also enjoyed the pork chicharron, tostones and the mofongo is one of the best I've had. Great prices and generous helpings.

We've been here several times and the Tripleta sandwich does not disappoint! Their Cuban was pretty good and their yuca rellena was phenomenal.
