El Guavate de Oto

"Best Puertorrican spot I've tried in the Tampa Bay area. You feel like you are in el campo in Puerto Rico with how they decorated and the music. We order mofongos with churrasco, carne frita and shrimp. As well as alcapurria. Everything was delicious. The mofongo were moist, just like they should be. The service was also excellent. Definitely coming back."

"The food was delicious and the price was right. We ordered 3 dishes and 2 drinks and we ended up paying $48 bucks, but the meals were 5 star restaurant quality, hefty and the ambiance was amazing! I have paid $30 bucks for one meal, at other restaurants, and they couldn't even come close to the amount and quality that this food truck offers. They had Grupo Wepa playing and they were on . They were playing salsa, merengue and bachatas and we were super impressed."

"They did not have any rice and beans. Their pernil was not your typical pernil . To me it was pulled pork and not what I was expecting from this food truck. The mofongo with churaasco was just okay. I wanted to love their food but their food is okay. Nothing I need to have again."

"This food is really good! I had the rotisserie chicken the rice with gandules and the yuca!! Soooo yummy! Been here twice. I've tried the pernil, lechon and the jibarito de churrasco!! Todo rico and I'm picky with Puerto Rican food as I cook it pretty good myself lol. Definitely give it a try!"

" 4 Stars: Authentic Island Flavor, Just Missing One Staple! El Guavate de Oto in Riverview, FL, is a vibrant taste of the Caribbean, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for genuine, flavorful Puerto Rican cuisine. The food here is incredibly flavorful; every dish we tried was rich, authentic, and satisfying. They offer a wide variety of options, from perfectly roasted meats to classic rice dishes, making it easy to find something for everyone. The quality truly makes you feel like the food comes right from the island--it's that authentic and delicious. Plus, the staff is incredibly friendly, adding to the welcoming and warm atmosphere. Now, for the one, single reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of a perfect 5: They do not serve beans. In Spanish culture, beans (whether habichuelas, frijoles, or otherwise) are a foundational staple for almost every meal. It genuinely always feels like something is missing without the beans on the plate. This is a minor but significant cultural detail that kept it from being a five-star experience for me. However, the quality of the rest of the meal is so high that this omission is easily overlooked. Rest assured, the lack of beans won't stop me from going back again and again!"

"The roast pork was delicious rice and the banana. Make you feel like u in Puerto Rico. I will be back"

"This is a food truck type of eatery off of a busy road and right next to a garden nursery. Las alcapurrias are so delicious and on point. I'm very picky with alcapurrias and had stopped eating them due to no real flavor to them. Not this place, the cooks do an excellent job with the seasoning. Food is really good.
