Box of Cubans has been a favorite of mine for years, going all the way back to when they were inside the gas station off Falkenburg. It's been amazing to see how much they've grown, but even with all their success, the service and food still have the same love and passion from their humble beginnings.My go-to order is always the beef empanadas and Cuban toast--both absolute perfection. The empanadas have that perfect crisp, flaky crust with a flavorful, well-seasoned filling, and the Cuban toast is buttery, crunchy, and just the right amount of indulgent. Honestly, though, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.I'm not even a big coffee drinker, but their café con leche is next-level. Rich, smooth, and just sweet enough--it's an amazing way to start the day. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or grabbing a full meal, Box of Cubans never disappoints.

10/10 food and serviceWe got the classic Cuban, as well as their steak sandwich, both of which were phenomenal and had a generous portion of meat. The cilantro sauce on the steak sandwich was to die for, I got extra on the side to dip it in. Chips and a drink can be added to make a combo. They gave us a cortadito and cheeseburger empanada to try which was very nice of them. Both ended up being great and will be added to our order next time, with other empanada flavors to try. We have gone back twice since, highly recommend.

It's a small place tucked in a shopping center. An array of authentic Cuban dishes and drinks. The sandwiches are top notch and the black bean bowl with protein (chicken) was outstanding.Staff and service are spot on no issues at all. The seating leaves a little to be desired. The table/chair combos inside are interconnected so you feel the movement of whomever sits behind you. Sit at the counter or outside for a more comfortable experience.

Delicious food and friendly service. They have outdoor seating. I enjoyed their bowl as a gluten free option and my family really liked their Cuban sandwiches. Their custom empanada molds make them extra cute and special!

Talk about an amazing cuban sandwich! I loved everything about it. The bread was toasted to perfection. The meat to cheese ratio was great and the taste was outstanding. Also don't sleep on their french toast. It was very delicious! They give you syrup and a side of guava sauce. The staff was very welcoming and had great recommendations. I will be returning for another cuban sandwich and cafe con Leche.

Box of Cubans has been on my list to visit. Located in a plaza, the place is small and on this day they were pretty busy, some orders were taking longer than others. You order up front at the register and they bring your food out to you. I noticed a couple people go up front to ask when they would receive their food since it was taking quite a bit. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and wish I had also tried their coffee but next time. The Cuban sandwich was hot and tasty but I wish it would've been less greasy. Other than that, I'll return to try more items.

During our trip to Tampa Bay and Orlando we were in search for a great Cuban sandwich. In our way out we found Box of Cubans and it was heaven sent. The best Cuban sandwich and empanadas ever. The customer service was incredible as well. If you are in the Tampa Bay Area you must stop by Box of Cubans. I wish I could go back right now, especially for an empanada. Can't go wrong with the classic but the steak was just as amazing.
