La Tinaja Bar and Grill

Food was disgusting I'm Dominican and for this restaurant to place that flag up and base their whole restaurant saying they are cooking Dominican food is crazy. Nothing had flavor drinks were bad. Picadera tasted like old oil and was mongo fried cheese was. Soggy Frys were soggy it was so bad. I had to send the. Food back me and my husband never do this we also work in food service but had to . We also waited a long time for our food stuff we wanted to order originally they did not have. Please find a actual good Dominican cook that season's their food and cares Wat they are. Giving people the price your charging people for 1 chuleta cut in half. And burnt is bad. Nothing I mean nothing had flavor I came hear on Valentine's day and. Had high hopes for this place And the . Only good thing from our visit was the service from The waiter that was friendly worst decision coming hear left with a stomach ache . Hope you guys. Really improve we don't have. Many. Spanish restaurants in spring hill as it is

The atmosphere is great. Very bright and comfortable. The hostess was also our server. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She helped us get and appetizer that had 4 different proteins, fried cheese, french fries, and plantains. It all was good and flavorful. I am just not used to have the chicken cut up with the bones, then deep fried. Again the meat had a great flavor, just not what I am used to. We also got a flank steak dish with rice and red beans. The steak and red beans were very flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly. We also got a dish I think was call a relleno. Which was explained to me to be, seasoned pulled pork stuffed into a plantain shell. It was a really weird texture to me. It all tastes okay, just a little blan. And lastly, we got a seafood diner. It was like a seafood stew. The shells were left in the stew. All in all, it mostly had a lot of flavor. It was all cooked well, and tasted good. But it was just a little to different for us to want to go back. If you are interested in or enjoy Dominican food. I would definitely try. But it was not my cup of tea. I hope this helps. I don't want to give this place a bad review just because I do not like this style of food. I would suggest you try it, at least once.

Sadly did not have the pleasure to dine in this evening, picked up the oxtail and chicken plates omg never had oxtails that tasted so amazing, they took my breath away. The collard greens, mac n cheese, cornbread, black beans and yellow rice were absolutely succulent! 10 out of 10 personally recommend whether dine in or take out!

Great hospitality and the food was everything I wanted in trying something new. Good drinks and deliciously satisfying foods.

Very good Dominican food, great ambience and service,very good drinks, highly recommend it.

Cuban sandwich not good and expensive ($14) for what you got. Bare minimum of meat but plenty of pickles. To be fair the pickles were excellent, but it was more like a pickle sandwich with a ham and pork meat garnish. What little pork was in the sandwich was fatty and tasted off like it wasn’t fresh.
Perhaps their Dominican selections are better.
Loudest way too loud, more like nightclub volume.

This was the worst food I have ever eaten and our pork chops were so hard that we couldn’t even eat them. My bill was $52 and trust me I didn’t wanna pay that. The music from TV was so loud and when you have to ask for silverware so you can eat. Terrible place!!

Very good food.

There's a lot of room for improvement with cleaning, and the quality of the food. Only one lady killing herself and that causes delays and confusions. Restroom doesn't even have handsoap
