A Special Location in Lakeland, Florida: Nineteen Sixty-One & Commercial Real Estate Opportunities
We recently had the opportunity to showcase a prime commercial property for sale at 2417 US 92, Lakeland, FL 33801, just west of County Line Road 33A. This high-visibility location, adjacent to Walgreens and other key retailers, offers exceptional potential for high-traffic retail businesses. While capturing aerial drone footage of the property, my wife and I made time to revisit our favorite downtown Lakeland restaurant, a staple of the area’s vibrant and growing culinary scene.
Discovering Lakeland’s Culinary Gem: Nineteen Sixty-One
Located at 215 E Main St., Lakeland, FL 33801, Nineteen Sixty-One is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy exceptional Latin cuisine. Lakeland’s downtown district has undergone extensive redevelopment, with support from the CRA and Main Street associations, transforming it into a historic yet modern destination. The area boasts a blend of local shops, entertainment, and fantastic dining options—none more notable than Nineteen Sixty-One.
Having spent years working in Miami, I have developed a deep appreciation for authentic Latin food, and this restaurant truly delivers. On our most recent visit, we were warmly welcomed by Emerson Bamaca, a partner at Nineteen Sixty-One, who prepared my coffee con leche with care. It was a perfect prelude to our meal, served with the attentiveness and hospitality that define this establishment.
Donna and I indulged in the fish and steak entrees, and as always, we were thoroughly impressed. The fish was cooked to perfection—flaky and flavorful—while the steak was impeccably seasoned and tender. Each dish reflected a careful balance of spices and culinary expertise, making our dining experience truly memorable.
From the Dominican Republic to Miami and across Tampa, I’ve experienced many outstanding Latin restaurants, but Nineteen Sixty-One stands out as a true culinary haven. Whenever we are in Lakeland, we make it a priority to stop in, especially to enjoy lunch on their patio, where the ambiance of downtown Lakeland enhances the experience.
