The Latin Dugout 4102 West Waters Avenue, Tampa, FL 33614

"Heading to The Latin Dugout in Tampa, Florida, post-concert turned out to be an exhilarating culinary adventure that I didn’t know I needed. Nestled in the vibrant streets of Tampa, this food truck is a gem for anyone craving authentic Dominican delights, especially when the night is far spent. My visit happened after a concert that wrapped up around midnight, and to my pleasant surprise, The Latin Dugout welcomed late-night food enthusiasts until 4 a.m., making it a standout for Dominican cuisine in the area. The food, oh the food, was nothing short of delightful. I opted for fritura, and each meat I selected was cooked to utter perfection, embodying the rich and savory flavors that Dominican cuisine is celebrated for. It’s a testament to the authenticity and care the chefs put into their cooking, ensuring that each bite transports you to the heart of the Dominican Republic. The Latin Dugout isn’t just about the food; it’s about the experience. Although parking can be a bit of a challenge due to the limited spaces available, it's a minor hiccup in what promises to be a memorable visit. They have managed to create a cozy dining space with a few tables and chairs, allowing patrons to enjoy their meals on-site. The truck’s location, adjacent to a gas station, might not sound glamorous, but the atmosphere around The Latin Dugout is unexpectedly inviting and entertaining, making you forget about the mundane surroundings. This food truck is a place I’d recommend to anyone looking to dive into Dominican culinary excellence without boarding a plane. Whether you’re winding down from a night out or seeking a late-night food adventure, The Latin Dugout stands ready to serve up a slice of Dominican warmth and flavor. Just remember to navigate the limited parking situation, and you’re set for an unforgettable food journey."

"Food was decent but the people that work there messed up my order 3/5 times either giving it to other people me going back up because the order is “lost” usually wait about 1 hour before I get my food the second time around. The lady got mad at me saying she called me and I never heard her say my name which is crazy for them to get upset with me about it after they messed up my order. I won’t be going back to this place especially after the unprofessionalism they exhibited."

"Food was pretty good and authentic the first time I went almost exactly a year ago. Liked the vibe and everything. I disliked now on this very moment January 2024 that the entire Latin dugout is no longer there. Not sure if they moved or closed. It was about 5 trucks, with tents, tvs, lights, seating, patios and it's all gone now. Road passed the stop and it looked like they were never there... it was such a clutch spot when leaving the bars.."

"First time going and it was so good sauce was on point . I gave my coworker a taco now we’re heading back for more."

"My restaurant forum recommended the latin dugout. Lots of options. Cute truck corner. Lots of fun music and friendly staff at all the trucks. Huge portions and good price."
