Living in South Florida means that there is a plethora of options for Latin cuisine. With so many choices, it can be hard to pinpoint a place that has authentic recipes and is actually worth the stop. Let me take the guess work out of the equation for you. Prepare to have your taste buds come alive at La Fondita de leo! Located just north of Clearwater, this place has something on the menu for everyone! Everything from the atmosphere to the fare will have you coming back for more. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with friendly, smiling faces. The rustic, modern atmosphere is sure to make you feel right at home during your dining experience.
If you’re like me and love seafood, then you’ll love the ceviche and the curry and coconut mahi mahi. After trying ceviche at several of the local restaurants in the area, nothing compares to the refreshing and light taste of the chef’s ceviche here. It’s not too spicy and has just enough flavor to tantalize your taste buds. The curry and coconut mahi mahi is fresh and is topped with onions, sweet peppers, carrots, and sautéed in a coconut and curry sauce that is just the right amount of spicy and creamy deliciousness. The beautiful colors combined together in this dish make it a culinary masterpiece.
To top off this taste of Puerto Rico, complete your meal with their savory tostones for an appetizer and their richly flavored creme brulee for dessert. I highly recommend both of these savory and sweet options which compliment any dish here and are honestly some of the best tostones and creme brulee I think I’ve ever had! I promise you will be coming back for more!
