Mi Tierra Latina #2 — Restaurant in Tampa

Today we decided to try a new place in Tampa. It's called Mi Tierra Latina 2. We were greeted with great welcome upon entering the establishment. We choose to try the beef empanadas for and appetizer. I have to say these were the BEST empanadas I have EVER had. The outside was not the traditional flaky crust that I have been accustomed to. It was more of a corn meal and potatoe shell kind of crust. It came with 2 different sauces a red hot sauce which was very flavorful and a green cilantro sauce which was very cool and refreshing to the palate. I loved both the sauces I actually mixed them together ❤️. For a main course my husband chose the grilled pork loin, yellow rice, tostones and salad platter. I chose the grilled steak, grilled pork, Columbian sausage, egg, sweet plantains, rice beans and corn cake platter. The food was tasted amazing and the portions were more than generous. If needed you can definitely share a platter with someone!!!!

There are enough parking spots outside. I will be back again when I am in Tampa, and I highly...

We have visited several colombian restaurants over Armenia Ave. I can confidently state that Mi Tierra Latina 2 is among the very best we've had over the past year👌. The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the prices are budget friendly. I would recommend having the "menu del dia." We had brunch for 2: soup (chicken and mondongo), meat (chicken and steak), and 2 side dishes each (rice, plantains, patacones, fried yuca). We added an arepa with cheese, one empanada, and 2 natural juices. The portion sizes were well distributed, and the price was very reasonable. Will...
