Brandon's culinary landscape has welcomed an exciting addition with the opening of Super Potatoes, a fast-casual restaurant that infuses traditional baked potatoes with vibrant Puerto Rican flavors.

 

Located at 3840 US Highway 301, Super Potatoes is the brainchild of Areny Ortiz and her husband, who envisioned a dining experience where the humble baked potato serves as a canvas for a variety of savory toppings.

 

"Super Potato is a fast and casual restaurant that we serve baked potatoes," Ortiz explained. "It’s a huge big potato, and you can put all the meat that you want or all our fresh toppings. So, yes, it’s a full meal."

 

The menu boasts an array of options that cater to diverse palates. Patrons can indulge in baked potatoes inspired by American classics, such as the bacon chicken ranch, cheeseburger, and pulled pork coleslaw. Each dish starts with a hearty baked potato base, allowing customers to build their meal with a selection of specialty toppings.

 

For those seeking alternatives to potatoes, Super Potatoes offers the signature La Canoa, a baked plantain split in the center and stuffed with a choice of protein—chicken, beef, or other options—then covered with melted cheese and fresh toppings. Additionally, the menu features customizable nachos and bowls, providing a versatile dining experience.

 

"We want the people to experience our Caribbean flavor and our street food in Puerto Rico here in Tampa," Ortiz emphasized.

 

Super Potatoes joins a growing list of establishments bringing Puerto Rican cuisine to the Brandon area. Other notable spots include Antojitos Boricuas at 1205 Lakeside Dr, known for its authentic dishes and cozy atmosphere, and Buen Provecho, a vibrant food truck located at 132 Lithia Pinecrest Rd, offering traditional fare like mofongo and alcapurrias.

 

With its unique concept and flavorful offerings, Super Potatoes is poised to become a favorite among locals seeking a delicious twist on a classic comfort food.
