El Tipico Criollo

I have ate here 6 times. It's my go too lunch spot when I'm at work. Food is always ready just place your order from the many options I f meat, Sides and salads. My favorite is the fish and avocado salad. It taste the same overtime. The rice is a hit and miss, on some days it's dry. When the rice is good I ts good. I also get pork chucharron, pastellon, and Salmon. It is always good. If you work on Town n country area and need a good Spanish food option. Check them out and let me know.

So bomb!!! Mostly Spanish speaking of course but they do speak minimal English. They have very good choices for food!!!! They were very busy because it was lunch time. Very friendly staff!

In and out ordering, no wait ! HOT FRESH FOOD My good friends over at Tampa Barbers recommended El Tipico Criollo to me and I'm extremely glad they did ! AMAZING ! Thee most delicious Spanish cuisine I've ever had! Please come by and give them a try. First bite I knew this was gonna be my favorite place to dine at. I don't want to share with anybody; go get your own plate ! $14 could probably feed a family of 3 with their outstanding portions; however I will not share ever bc it's that good. I'm in love and the mango juice I order was freshly made in front of me . Wow I'm very impressed . I could keep rambling but it's time to dig in now :)

Casual dominican restaurant offering delicious typical dishes. Every time I visit Tampa, I try to pass by Tipico and pick up lunch. There are many Latin places in Tampa to pick up some food but I found this place to be one of the best ones in the area. The food is simply delicious! They cook with sazón for sure. Also, the restaurant is always clean and organized. The staff was friendly and bilingual. They offer daily specials and family meals. Some of my favorites are the mangu, majado de viandas, avocado salad, codfish salad, stew pork chops, baked chicken and rice with beans. Everything I tried so far is been delicious. Portions are good and prices are reasonable. They have so many delicious options to choose from that it is difficult to make a decision. One good combo to share with a group is combo #1 which includes fried cheese, fried chicken, longaniza sausage and tostones with a 2 litter Coke for about $20. It was good for 4 to 5 people. I had also ordered a few of the other family combos when I have my family over and it works out great. Everyone enjoys it every time. For dessert, I always get the coconut flan. It is just the right amount of sweetness to finish a perfect lunch at Tipico Criollo. This is absolutely a great casual place to pickup some real Latin food for you and the family.

Food is good, despite prices going up. Great selection and flavorful food. Service is average and the ambience is good. Only few tables and no waiters.

This place is so good!We recently found it. It's so sad we passed right by it for over two years!! The location is not the best, it's in a shopping center off Memorial on your way to Veterans Express. But the restaurant itself is very clean. It's cafeteria style hot food. Combination of Cuban, Dominican and Puerto Rican food. Always fresh and hot. This is my new favorites spot for a good home meal vs. fast food. Prices are good too.

Authentic, fresh, and well seasoned Dominican food. Every time I have a party or family visiting from out of town, we cater from here. Last event we had:Moro de guandules Rabo (oxtail)Pechuga de pollo al la parrilla Ensalada de aguacateYuca Maduros Chicken empanadasBeef empanadas Cheese empanadas Reasonably priced and so delicious. Not greasy, heavy, or too salty. As close as your Dominican mom's all natural/ organic food. Great service by all. Super friendly. Don't forget to leave with a slice of Dominican cake. It's made by someone's abuelita who makes it when she feels like it. That's how you know it's good

I love this place. It's not too far from my job so I typically visit there during the week. The food is always fresh and delicious. The snapper chefs kiss.

Fast casual style Spanish food that allows for a quick lunch/meal. The food itself was probably a 4/5. It wasn't a gourmet meal but they also aren't trying to be. Great prices (10-12 for large meals), friendly staff and clean restaurant. I will be back.

This place offer a variety of platters to choose from. They pretty much covered most of the Latin food scope. The 1st time I came in a month ago, I ordered stewed chicken, black beans , white rice and maduro. The food was average. I came back last week and ordered stewed pork, pinto beans, white rice and maduro. Again, the food was average. The food was not bad, just average. The ladies at the counter were all so very sweet and accommodating.
