Super costoso.

3 stars & let me explain... our server was amazing and the place is nicely set up, but the food and drinks are way overpriced in relation to portion and taste. Drinks are watered down too much.
Fried cheese with guava as an appetizer is amazing....

We had a girls lunch and we went here. All I can say is WOW! As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere makes you feel like you're not in Kansas anymore!! Very cool vibes. The food is phenomenal!! I will definitely go back for more. Next time, I'm going with the husband so he can experience this gem as well!!

I recently visited this Puerto Rican restaurant, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, offering an authentic taste of Puerto Rican cuisine. From the crispy and flavorful mofongo to the tender lechón asado, every dish was a burst of vibrant flavors. The arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas) was perfectly seasoned, and the tostones (fried plantains) were crispy and perfectly salted. Every bite truly transported me to the heart of Puerto Rico.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a festive yet relaxed vibe. The decor featured bright colors and island-inspired accents, which added to the overall charm and made the dining experience feel like a little escape to Puerto Rico. The music, playing softly in the background, was a nice touch, adding to the island feel without being overwhelming.

While the food and ambiance were fantastic, the service could have been a bit better. The staff was friendly, but there were a few moments where we had to wait a bit longer than expected for drinks and to place our order. However, the overall experience still felt enjoyable, and the quality of the food made up for the minor service hiccups.

In conclusion, this Puerto Rican restaurant offers outstanding food and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re craving authentic Puerto Rican flavors, it’s definitely worth a visit. The service could use some improvement, but the incredible food and cozy setting make it a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy the taste of Puerto Rico.

Today, my fiancée and I had the pleasure of dining at El Campo, a Puerto Rican restaurant in Tampa, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the warm, authentic atmosphere.

The food was nothing short of amazing. I ordered the mofongo relleno de pulpo, and my fiancée had the mofongo relleno de carne frita. Both dishes were beautifully presented in traditional pilones and decorated with care. As an appetizer, we tried the alcapurrias, and I have to say, they were the best I've ever had. Every dish was not only delicious but also plated with such elegance that it felt like we were dining at a high-end restaurant.

The ambiance was perfect—a true homage to Puerto Rican culture. The restaurant was spotless, tastefully decorated, and filled with the lively sounds of traditional Puerto Rican music playing softly in the background. The servers, dressed in traditional Puerto Rican attire, added to the authenticity and charm of the experience. The service itself was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring everything was just right.

If you’re in Tampa and looking for an authentic Puerto Rican dining experience that will transport you straight to the island, El Campo is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable atmosphere.

Restaurant is on a great location, maybe because of the holidays, food was ok, service as well. Some opportunities on the mofongo; if you already know it is dry, it would be smart to already have some caldo available ( ingredient is on the recipe!) . Also, they were not that accommodating with service dog in stroller; half Restaurant empty, and we were sat in a table in the middle of the salon, with all the traffic. Would try again, givingthem a chance... liked the Dr Phillips location better.
