1Chick 1Bro Cafe Bistro — Restaurant in Gulfport

Beware. I like some of the food at 1Chick 1Bro, but they make up policies and charge their customers random fees without telling them (or giving a receipt).

We had a party of 7. When I sat down after ordering, my friend asked if I was overcharged. I thought about the price on the menu and the amount I was told and realized I was charged a lot more.

After talking to them (which my friend had to switch to Spanish because they seemed to not be able to communicate in English), we were told there was a surcharge for a "large party of more than 2". What? They charged us $5 extra per person and refused to refund it! They also could not show us where this policy was displayed. I will never go back.

If you're flying solo and want to risk it, the pork arepas are good. Chicken and beef were dry. The tequenos are half the size of normal tequenos and expensive. I'd recommend just skipping...

I’ve driven by this place so many times, always curious about what they offered, and I finally decided to stop in—and I’m so glad I did! Their empanadas are absolutely to die for. Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside—every bite was perfect. I brought my family, and everyone loved them. The ground beef empanadas were a hit with the fam, they even ordered seconds.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and I really appreciated that they were bilingual. It’s nice to be able to speak Spanish and bring my spanish speaking family to a place they feel comfortable.

Their spicy sauce and cilantro sauce were the perfect complement to the empanadas.

Wanna feel like your Venezuelan friend is making a great meal for you? Check this place out! I've been several times and they never disappoint. They are happy to make substitutions a on these very fresh freshly prepared fresh meals. (Did i mention how fresh the food is here?) There is no weak point on the menu, everything is good. Ask about seasonal or special items available (shark empanadas last two times, YUM!) Arepas are yummy and not too heavy, nor greasy. Bowls are generous. Vegetarian options are very available. Pro-tip? Leave room or take home whatever cake or desert is offered that day, it is worth breaking your diet for! Dining room is basic but cozy and very clean. Outdoor picnic tables...
