Yummy Cuban food, casual atmosphere. You. An order to go - over the phone.They have their own parking lot.I've dined in a few times and have ordered take out. I have always been happy with my food.Typical cubism cuisine. Gills you up and won't break the bank. Staff has aways been pleasant.

This place looked like an old style shop,it was clean and the staff was friendly, we had breakfast, and it was good. If we're back on this area, we will definitely try their lunch or dinner options.

It's a must stop when in Tampa for your Cuban food fix. The food is always on point, wide range of selections from sandwiches, breakfast, main dishes, deserts, and coffee. Service is always good and they are always attentive...food comes out super fast so many people come here for lunch. Ambiance is your typical Cuban food establishment with many tables & booths...when in Tampa give this place a shot.

We visited this cafe because we heard the food was delicious and they did not disappoint. We were greeted immediately and seated. The restaurant is bright with lots of light and is bigger than it looks from the outside. Our party of three ordered yellow rice, chicken, black beans, collard green soup, and a ham and cheese sandwich. All of the food was delicious. We have absolutely no complaints. Our waitress was very attentive, checking on us to see if we needed anything, if we were satisfied with the food and providing hot buttered Cuban bread that was also delicious. If you're looking for a nice place to have a good meal I definitely recommend this cafe to support a small business owner.

Great cheap and fast Cuban food spot in the heart of tampa! Super simple old school classic serving up all your favorites . I live the roast pork with rice and beans , others rave about the lamb shanks! Either way its one of these places you have to try for yourself!

Have gone here a few times now, found it based off of reviews. Very happy with this place! The food quality is good, the interiors is clean and modern, although we usually take it to go for a picnic. The staff is kind, and they are also fast. The prices are great which is one reason we chose it to begin with. The vaca frita is our favorite!

Roast Pork with Chinese Fried Rice....yummy.Also bought a large container of black beans because I plan to use later with another meal.The pork was juicy and full of flavor and the fried rice was full of shrimp, pork and cubes of ham , very good ! Reminds me of a Cuban restaurant I found in NYC a few years ago that also served a mix up of Cuban and Chinese.This is a nice change up to the usual yellow rice side, ( which I also love,) that you get in most local Cuban restaurants.The black beans were good but this time it was more liquid than usual. More like black beans soup. But they were good with lots of flavor.

Food was amazing and authentic. Best plátano maduro I've had in a long time. The service was fantastic. Genuinely nice people are hard to find. I loved it and any time we come back to Florida we will visit again!

Great food at a reasonable price. I can call them and have the food ready for pick up within minutes. They have been around for a long time and their Cuban food is great tasting.

This place is clean and pleasant, service friendly. Looks like they have regulars. Pork fritas was a bit dry inside but tasted good. Ropa Vieja was a tad sweet, but tender. Empanada was really good, but the papa rellena lacked flavor and I think it was from frozen because there were cold bits to it, even though the outside texture was good and crispy. The platanos and arroz morro were yum. I would probably come back but only if I were already close by.
