Plato Latino

1. I loved the outside vibe gives Latin Caribbean, inside vibe gave more of a diner style2. Service was nice. I thought the young ladies were very nice. They gave suggestions on food and even let us sample some of the food. 3. Food was good. I loved the breaded steak sandwich and the meatballs were really good. These were the best options in my option although I only had a few of the menu items. For me, the pork, rice and beans were more on the salty side but I loved the onions on top and I would have liked to have something to help balance out the saltiness. 4. I had a hard time determining the price of the menu items. The menu had the prices blacked out so I was not sure what the cost was until I was rang up. Only had the catering cost listed. 8 out of 10 would recommend

Had take out of pork, black beans and rice for 3 and it was delicious. They give a nice portion and it was juicy and well cooked. The price is very reasonable for the portions given. The staff were friendly and service was very good . The restaurant is clean and they have a large selection of items. Definitely will be going back.

Late this afternoon I was visiting a company in Tampa and searched for a Cuban restaurant in the Carrollwood area of Tampa for an early dinner. I followed the reviews and directions and found I was streets away from Plato Latino. I took a chance. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised and other time a bit disappointed. Today I found a winner, a real affordable gustatory delight. This restaurant isn't Cuban per se however they offer similar platters featuring the ever popular Ropa Vieja, Boliche, Picadillo, Roast Pork and the always popular Cuban sandwich. Similar to Cuban restaurants Plato Latino serves up respectable appetizers like devil crabs, stuffed potatoes, fried Yuca and Guayaba con Queso.Now my time to order and I chose a safe bet, broiled chicken, yellow rice and peas covered with black beans and topped with chopped onions. Simply Mouth watering! Topped off with rich tasting cafe con leche, I'm a satisfied diner. I was too full for Flan for dessert yet it was tempting. Right now you can eat inside their attractive interior or enjoy your meal on one of several tables out front. Disfrute de su comoda!

Oh now this latin restaurant is so quaint and nice. I love this place. I live thre fact that they know about me and my daughter, plus what we like to eat! We are always laughing and joking with the owners. It is a family-owned business. There is plenty of parking but the restaurant is small. I always order the grilled basa fish with vegetables. But this time I had their greek salad and boy this is sooooo delicious. The potato was very well cooked and with the right herbs. However, this was the first time I had greek potatoes at the bottom of the salad. You have to try this salad! It is worth it just eat it by itself.The food, the customer service and the facility was worth the time to go and enjoy!

Plato meaning dish or plate in Spanish. The name of the restaurant is perfectly named. The Latino Dish. It identified the the cuisine immediately if you know the meaning of the restaurant. This small restaurant get a lot of attention during lunch time. We were there 11:40am. The crowds start coming at 12:00 noon on weekdays. We have order the bistec and the pepper steak. The bistec is grilled steak with two choices of side. Since we have two dishes, we got the yellow rice, white rice and sweet plantain. The steak is a bit tough but is is good grilled steak. The pepper steak is cut into pieces and flat iron plate grilled. We like the devil crab which is not smell too fishy. It has full crab meat inside. They also have hot deli with ropa veja, roast pork and more. Food is affordable and service is order at the counter.

After reading the reviews and actually trying the food I'm confused. The food seriously lacked seasoning...the beans were bland. The rice had no salt. The chicken was okay and the pork was dry. 3 stars because the staff was nice but the food was a let down. I'm mad that I paid $20 for food I had to go home and add seasoning to.

So you know when you have that craving of wanting homemade food without having to sacrifice too many calories and flavorful? This is the place! Such a nice and clean small but spacious restaurant. Friendly service and a nice variety of ready made Buffett food that you can quickly choose from. I wasn't in the mood to cook dinner for me and my son so I opt out. Lol we ordered baked chicken with yellow rice, greens beans and a side of black beans. Also, 2 devil crabs. Omg good!! It hit all the spots and I must add the dinner was packed with a lot of food and only paid $8.95 for it. I'm definitely a customer and will return.

We stopped here for lunch after moving my daughter into her new college apartment. You order deli style at the counter so there is no wait staff to review. The food was not bad but I was surprised it wasn't seasoned more. We ordered roast chicken, roast pork and shrimp and seafood gumbo. We also tried an order of fried bananas. We definitely got full but it was truly just ok. Unfortunately there was no ice in the soda machine so room temp sodas put a damper on this visit. It looks like they serve breakfast too - I might like to give that a try.

COST!!!This place has decent food, however, went to lunch today. Carnitas- 5 snail pieces if pork, yellow rice and black beans, no drink, no bread.ALMOST $19.00Absurd!

Was good Cuban food, workers where nice and the place where clean, little small but nice
