“I came to this restaurant to try the ramen. I’ve been to many other ramen locations in the area. The ramen was very delicious and the portioning was fair. The avocado seaweed salad was very different but delicious.The pricing was on the higher end. The special ramen bowls were priced comparable to other restaurants, but the build your own ramen bowl gets expensive. A marinated egg is $1.50 which wouldn’t be a bad price if it wasn’t for the fact that you only get 1/2 an egg. If you want two whole eggs, you’re paying $6.Although though the pricing for the build your own bowls starts at $8, you going to pay for everything else in the bowl including vegetables. It’s one thing to pay for meats or expensive alternatives, but having to pay $1.50 to add onions is ridiculous.The service must be a hit or miss. We got sat at a booth but received the bartender as a server, who was not very attentive. When a restaurant’s menu has a spice meter to choose from, water/ drinks are important for a server to check on periodically. Although my server was not very attentive, the other server checking her own tables looked to be much more attentive.Overall, I believe there are far better options for Ramen in the Temple Terrace or New Tampa area. I did not try the seafood boil, so I have no opinion on that focus of the restaurant.“
“The food was amazing! I got Green Spaghetti with Chicken and Alfalajores for dessert. The pesto sauce was freshly made and I could taste the amazing basil flavor! The chicken was perfectly grilled and each tender bite had a savory kick to it. The Alfalajores made with fresh Dulce de Leche really beautifully ended my meal. But really what made this evening so special for me and my family was the attention we received from all the workers. From the moment we stepped in we were showered with kindness and politeness. We promptly were given our meal and throughout enjoying we were frequently checked up on to make sure we were throughly enjoying it. Carlos (the owner) then came and spoke to my family and I. He spoke with lots of love and passion for food and cooking and felt we connected our cultures through our mutual love for food and trying new things. He laughed and shared with us many jokes and sincerely made it a night to remember. The combination of freshly made food with love and laughter makes Vica Latin an amazing place to have dinner any day of the week! Thank you! We will be back soon!“
“Kid and I have been visiting this place routinely since he started at USF 3 years ago and I'm finally getting around to writing a review (for reference of how much we've tried it). He gets the same thing every time, basic lo mein, but I've sampled beef, chicken, and shrimp, and all dishes are delicious, adequate portions, and most importantly, consistent quality. Can't count the number of times we've been here and never a miss- very hard to find restaurants that can do that. Wish I had pics but it's always more critical to devour the food than photograph it!“
“I'm giving this little place a full 5 stars across the board. I really enjoyed its quaint atmosphere, with possible multilevel outdoor seating. The tacos were flavorful and tasted homemade. The hot sauce was great, as well as the avocado based hot sauce. The serving of two tacos with beans and rice was about $12 and the perfect portions for a hungry person.“
“I am a seafood lover and prefer this place over Mr and Mrs. Crab as of late. We frequent often when in the area. Just visited again Friday and had a great experience. Our waiter was Chong and he was absolutely fantastic at what he does. We had about 4 kids with us all under the age of 12 and he was patient as patient can be. Definitely will be returning.Parking: Since the restaurant is in a plaza during its peak parking is extremely difficult to find. Be prepared to drive in circles for a period of time.“
“This is the best Carraba’s my family has ever been to!!! From the kind host who welcomed us in when we came in an hour to close to the incredible service we shared from Elissa. Elissa was top notch. She treated us like we were royalty. It’s such a blessing to be treated with such great care. The food was spectacular as well. It was very fresh and the runners brought us our bread and appetizers without us even thinking about it —the service was that fast!!! Thank you for making our weekend so special. We will definitely be back to this location when we are in the mood for Carrabba’s ?“
