18 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Brandon

“Our Valentine's Day dinner was well worth the drive and the wait time for our dinners. If you order seafood paella anywhere and expect it to be served as quickly as a cheeseburger, you'll likely be disappointed with the time taken or the food quality. The best paella is not quick to cook. It's not pre-made and waiting to be ordered. It's cooked fresh to order. Our server was concerned about the time it took to prepare but we were fine. My wife said it was well worth the wait as was my Tequila Sunburn Glazed Salmon with pineapple-mango salsa and cinnamon mashed sweet potatoes. Our waiter, Muhamed, was cheerful, informed, helpful, and attentive without being “too much”. My wife's Sunset Berry Sangria and my Sunrise Moscato Sangria were unique and awesome, to say the least.“

“We are so thrilled that Hey Mon opened up within WALKING distance of our house. We will definitely become regulars. Our whole family loves their Puff Bread . The Roti Bread is OUT OF THIS WORLD! The sauces are delicious! We haven’t even begun to try the dinners but we’ll be back!!! My goal is to make my way through the entire menu by the end of the summer. We go to the Caribbean every year for Spring Break. What a way to have the islands here all year round!“

“Mango’s Cafe is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside the inviting atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for what is sure to be a fantastic meal.

I had the pleasure of trying several dishes during my visit, and I can confidently say that everything was a perfect 10/10. Each plate was a delightful explosion of flavor, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to quality and creativity. The menu offers a diverse selection, but you can’t go wrong with their honey fried chicken and the catfish which was made to order was literally perfect!

But it’s not just the food that makes Mango’s Cafe stand out. The customer service was exemplary. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and attentive.

If you’re a newcomer, don’t be deterred by the line outside(and inside)—trust me, the food is absolutely worth the wait! The buzz of excited patrons only adds to the vibrant atmosphere, and once you take your first bite, you’ll understand why so many people are eager to get in.

Excitingly, with a new location opening soon, there will be plenty of deliciousness to go around! Whether you're a local or just visiting Tampa, make sure to add Mango’s Cafe to your must-try list. You won’t regret it!“
