Reviews for Happy Fish in Tampa, FL
First lets start from the salchipapa. I have never had peruvian salchicha papa with cheese than please explain these... salchichas. Absolutely nasty salchichas. I also ordered a lomo saltado also disappointed. Came to this place because had over 4stars reviews but I give it a 1. Was very disappointed. I love peruvian food however this place was not good at all. Read more
Excellent. Fabiola was friendly and helpful. Food was perfectly cooked and delicious. Definitely worth a stop when in Tampa.
We felt like having Peruvian and the first place we tried was so full so we ended up at Happy Fish. It showcases fusion Peruvian... dishes. We ordered chicha morada, fried fish and yuca appetizer, and a beef and shrimp entree. Didn't get the authentic tasteof chicha morada, as we felt there was too much flavor of cinnamon, however this might be a positive for others. The fried fishappetizer was delicious and the entrees were good. Good ambience, but felt that the place was a little bit on the expensiveside, considering the portion size. Read more
The flavors of all the dishes were actually good BUT, they tasted like it was lacking. It needed more seasoning and more flavors... to get the taste of the dish really stand out. Especially the Tallarin Saltado de Carne, the pasta tasted pretty bland and thegood flavors that it did have were subtle. Everything was good just watered down. I'd be willing to come back again and give itanother chance. Servers were very nice and attentive. Overall 7/10 Read more
A bit disappointed in the lack of flavor and service that was received here. The food was rather bland and our server was... extremely inattentive to the point of even acting disturbed when asked about anything. When the check was requested more thantwice, we finally had to go to the counter to ask for it after 30 minutes, in which case, we were not met with the bestattitude. I am, unfortunately, unable to recommend this restaurant, for a number of reasons. Read more

Service was excellent and attentive. Atmosphere is very nice considering it's inside a strip mall. Ceviche was very... good. Fried filet was tasty. Fries were hot and crispy. Orange rice was normal and wouldn't get again. Overall very goodexperience. I recommend Read more
Enjoying a wonderful Saturday out and about, early voting, Oddities and Curiosities Expo, and then based on a co-worker... recommendation, we stopped here for some Peruvian grub. The recommendation we got was for the Ceviche's; but when I saw theSeco Cabrito on the menu, I had to have it. Who can pass up lamb? This place is simple awesome. Friendly staff, excellent food,and excellent prices for the portions. I started with a Tamal con Pollo that had a olive and egg inside. Delicious! My SecoCabrito was almost fall off the bone tender, the way I like it, with just a tiny hint of pull and a hint of that lamb gameflavor. She had the Palomilla Streak and was one of the best she has ever had. There is no doubt that we will be back manytimes. There are so many options on the menu, it will take a while to try them all. Be mindful that this is in an extremelybusy Hispanic oriented shopping center and the Saturday traffic was...well difficult. Once parked and inside the restaurant,all that clutter fades away into plates of deliciousness. Read more
