I tried these spots on 434 SE of I4 on Friday at lunch and dinner. The first is in the strip mall by the train tracks that has Dough Boyz. Across from Cupid's. The others are in the strip mall behind the Huey Magoo's back towards I4.
Summer Breeze - Roti+. Trinidadian. Opened a few weeks ago. I had the chicken roti with three sides for $16.55. The chicken came in a broth. White chunks. No veg, etc. The roti was the disintegrating kind made with ground peas. Large. They talked me into chick peas, potatoes and mango something for the sides. The mango wasn't really a side. More of a jelly. Two side sauces. A nice hot one and a vinegar one. The chicken was bland. Maybe this is appealing to some who find Indian too assertive. I found that you needed to incorporate the other things included in the meal. It was fine. I'm not a huge fan of this style of cooking. It wasn't poorly made. The menu is small. A few other wraps and some stews. Small space. Not a ton of decor. Maybe four tables. Full. And with honkeys. Three or four Indian women cooking/serving.
Three Odd Guys Brewing - Moved from Apopka. Four tvs. Bar. Stainless steel brewing equipment. Clean. I watched the tourney. Had a few drafts. Good addition.
Moe's Pizza - Just opened. I believe it replaced another pizza place. I think Moe is short for Mohammed. Had a 12" classic cheese for $12. Not great. Ok sauce. More spicy than sweet. Rubbery cheese. No crust. Bad dough. Bitter herbs. Sour taste. Probably conveyor belt (had machine markings underneath). I went elsewhere while it was cooking, so, I didn't check out the oven (or lack of one). Calzones, stromboli, burgers, fries, apps, salads, wings, subs, wraps and desserts. I don't trust Italian places that serve non-Italian fare. A few tables. Pass.
Pixie's Magical Corner Patisserie - Next to Moe's. I went here to grab some ice cream from a place that no longer exists (these guys absorbed them) which only opened after 2pm (so I was never there when they were). I (lost the receipt) believe I paid $5 for a 4 Leches and $8 for a Chicken BLAT. Both were good. I believe I've had one other 4 Leches and gave you the obvious smarmy remark that it beats the 3 Leches. The BLAT was a real bargain. On toast. Bacon was real crisp and fresh. Good avocado. Snappy Romaine lettuce. Fresh tomato. Ripped up pieces of real roast chicken. A nice amount. The 4 Leches is a cake. Sweet leches topping could work on rice pudding. Comes in a tin. They have alot of pastries and sandwiches and meals like stew. As stated, they took over the ice cream shop and broke down the wall between them. I rejected the ice cream because it is just Hershey's. I'm not sure if the old place made their own. Two Latin women were serving. They said they were from Miami. A nice find. High marks for value. A few seats. One person there at early dinner.
*I noticed that Uno Mas out front of the strip mall has closed. A sign for Indian Express in its' place. Not open yet.
