“Típico Café Latino (Típico Latino Restaurant), 566 Barton Boulevard, Rockledge, Florida- 5-Stars Although the Hispanic population in Brevard County as of 2022 is a mere 11.6%, their restaurants must make up 35% of the restaurant inventory. Now that I have dined at so many Latin establishments, I feel I am starting to discern the good, the bad, and the horrific. Recently I found myself in Rockledge walking into the unassuming Tipico Café Latino. The place didn't look like much to me at first, and since the most obvious definition of "típico" in English means "typical," I was concerned. Later when I found out that "típico" when referring to food is more about how such a dish represents the most famous local flavor of a region, the name made perfect sense. The food prepared here is the real deal and it's truly outstanding. Don't let the ambiance of this small saloon deter you. Elise is the owner and personally sees to the comfort of her guests. She and her chef are from the Dominican Republic, and their website states that Dominican cuisine has been influenced by indigenous Dominicans as well as settlers from Spain, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Canary Islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti (next door on the shared island of Hispaniola), and Hungary. They further indicate that flavor contributions have been made by Sephardic Jews, slaves brought to the Republic by the French in the 17th Century, and freed Blacks who fled from the United States in the 19th Century. From the Menú Típica Latino, I ordered the Típico Fried Platter, and I strongly suggest you do the same. It has everything: Fried Pork, Fried Chicken, Longaniza (Spanish sausage), Salami, Fried Cheese, Casava, and Tostones. Amazing! As the Dominican Republic is only 57 miles southeast of Cuba, it is not surprising that there are also a few expressly classic Cuban dishes on the menu. One of these is the Ropa Vieja/ Shredded Stewed Beef and Vegetables. The rice accompanying this "típica" Cuban dish was cooked perfectly. The beef itself was so tender, its juices so flavorful, that for a moment I experienced zoanthropy, becoming one of Pavlov's dogs salivating just remembering this experience. I pull myself together, remembering I am a human man, and wipe the slobber off my jowls with a towel. THIS IS A BIG BOY MUST TRY! The Big Boy says, "Go see Elise, try the Típico Fried Platter, and, oh yeah, bring your appetite."“

“I love the rice bowl selections, and their potato balls, churros, and empanadas are awesome.“

“If you get the opportunity while you are staying at the Hyatt in Clearwater Florida, treat yourself to an afternoon at the pool. What a relaxing time we had during our stay! The food we had was great! Highly recommend the grilled fish and barboca beef tacos. Comes with chips and a zesty salsa. Salads are huge! The folks that take care of you are awesome and friendly. Marcel, thank you for helping us with food and beverages selections!“

“Excelente comida, precios, presentación y sabor. Excelente food, delicious and very good price. I highly recommend!!!“

“This place has very good Reuben sandwiches and Cuban sandwiches. And let’s not leave out the potato salad and pasta salad! I went there today with my friend and I see why they are ranked 5 stars! Then on top of it all. It’s all family that runs it. Super super sweet and nice! And oh forgot to add the husband makes most the sweets. And so we tried the raspberry cheesecake. And if she wouldn’t have told us her husband made it. I would have thought it was prepackaged/ store bought! But to be honest it’s better! I can’t wait to go back and try different stuff on the menu and try their flan! I really was very well pleased with this place. From the food to the family who owns and runs its. I will be back!!“

“What a treat for our 9th first date anniversary! M39 did not disappoint. Awesome food, cool vibe and David's service is impeccable. Crusted oysters, Cuba pork are amazing! Paella...the best since Sevilla! Great wine and craft beer list. Coming back is a DEF!“

“Great little place for patio dining. Had the 1/4 chicken with rice and fried plantain. Wow! Huge servings and great tasting food. Washed down with a great sangria. Definitely will go again.“

“Muy buena atencion !! Las enchiladas muy buenas !! Suerte en su negocio 👏“

“I wanted authentic Mexican food and I found it here. Delicious and couldn’t ask for better service. Thank you for making my vacation complete“

“Came upon this amazing place. The 2 that run the place are super friendly. I think of myself as a cuban sandwich expert and this place is top 3 that I've ever had. The empanadas are bomb. Happy to have Nana's near by. See you this week!“

“Every time I spot a Pollo Tropical, I can’t help but stop in. Hands down, the best chicken in the world—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and always delicious. This visit didn’t disappoint on the food.

The only downside? The bathrooms were downright filthy. Food is a 10/10, but the cleanliness in the restrooms really needs attention.“
