Lona by Chef Richard Sandoval

Verdict: 10/10 recommend. 👍🏽 👍🏽 Oh my, where do I start? I was peckish. We were peckish. We wanted something small but tasty. No corner store snacks, you know? We got downtown Tampa a little earlier than the start time for the Red Bull Dance Your Style event, so we went to the JW Marriott and landed at Lona. So glad we did! We kept it simple: got nachos, Shirley temples and an almond syrup & mint drink I used to have in Italy as a kid, which I haven’t had in YEarS! The nachos were SO good! I’d usually only get certain foods at certain places, but the nachos at Lona’s? Amazing! 🤩 I wish we had more time to eat or we’re hungry enough to eat more food, so I could write a longer review or one covering more items, but trust me…. Go get the nachos and try other items. I believe you will be happy you did! They gave us a post card with our receipt, which I thought was a cool touch, and the locale is spacious enough to hold a large dinner, and offers space to lounge & relax; sit at a table with chairs, or on sofas or lounges. Overall, I recommend Lona by Chef Richard Sandoval. 🧑‍🍳 💋

Had an amazing experience at Lona! The food was absolutely delicious. We had steak fajitas which were cooked to perfection. The chicken quesadilla was also awesome. Service by Corey was attentive and fast. He was very helpful and friendly too. Highly recommend.
