Sabor & Fuego Latin Fusion has quietly set up shop on North MacDill, bringing a wave of Peruvian and Latin-fusion flavor to Tampa's MacDill corridor. The family-run kitchen turns out ceviche, wok-seared lomo saltado and other Lima-born staples, with a dessert lineup built around lúcuma. Diners can settle in at the compact storefront just north of Cypress Street, grab takeout or have food sent out for delivery.

Brothers David Nieves Palma and his sibling launched the spot to showcase the recipes they grew up eating, with David stepping into the role of head chef. "It is a reflection, actually, of who we are," Nieves Palma said in an interview with FOX 13 Tampa Bay. That report also notes the owners are touting what they say is the largest selection of lúcuma desserts in the region.

Peruvian Classics And Lúcuma Sweets

The menu leans on Peruvian touchstones like ceviche, lomo saltado and arroz chaufa while folding in grilled meats and broader Latin-fusion plates, according to Sabor & Fuego. The restaurant also promotes dine-in service, takeout, catering and online ordering from the same MacDill storefront.

Where To Go And How To Order

Sabor & Fuego sits at 1001 N. MacDill Ave, just north of Cypress Street, and lists regular service seven days a week on its listings. Delivery is available through platforms such as Uber Eats, which also displays the restaurant's menu and posted hours. Walk-ins are welcome, and the kitchen is offering both lunch and dinner service from the small dining room.

Early diners have been leaving upbeat notes online; the restaurant's TripAdvisor listing highlights positive feedback for the ceviche and leche de tigre, and reviewers also call out the friendly service. For now, Sabor & Fuego is shaping up as an easy stop for anyone craving a quick trip to Lima without leaving North MacDill.
