East Lake Food Market

This is something akin to a bodega with freshly prepared food available. The flavors and vibe are Cuban. Prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious.

I've been here so many times I can't count. But always for the same thing. Bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich and a cafe con leche. They have a lot of lunch and dinner options and they look delicious but I always forget that they're an option when deciding what I want for dinner. The sandwich is about a foot long. They do not skimp on the meat. My boyfriend and I always spilt one and sometimes we don't finish our halves. The cafe con leche is the best I've had in the area. This place is also a grocery store but I don't go here for that. Their prices are awesome. For 2 large cafe con leches and the sandwich it's less than $10. $9.61 for a filling, delicious breakfast for 2 people? Hell yes. But even if I had to pay $15-$20 I'd still be there about twice a month. They are the perfect weekend breakfast stop. 5 stars because they are perfect for the reason I go there.

I recently just discovered this place and was excited. I've made this my go to place for lunch/dinner. Food is delicious. Today I went to try the breakfast and quite frankly I was very disappointed. Firstly, they forgot something on my order so I had to drive back to get it fixed. (Which was the least of my worries because I totally get morning rush and forgetting something). However, when I got home and started eating I bit into my egg and there was a huge piece of hair in my food I was so disgusted I threw everything away. I don't think I will ever eat here again and it's a shame because the food is delicious.

Feel like a found a jewel! Great food fair price. Very pleasant staff. Pernil sandwich was delicious and big enough for 2 meals. Hot food platter of a grilled fish accompanied with rice beans and another side. Outside seating available, was a little in need of a sweeping But the food more than made up for it. Thank you for the great recommendation!!

I love this place, super friendly people , great food at a great price, I get the chicken and yellow rice dinner, take it home, and make three lunches out of it for part of my work week, for a grand total of $5.50, you just can't beat that , a little Landscaping on the outside and a paint job will probably help the place, but I'm not eating the outside of a building LOL, enjoy!

Eastlake has a small deli stuffed in the back of their convenience store & meat market which serves the most authentic & affordable cuban food on the Temple Terrace side of the world!Amazing hidden gem, nestled behind Sweetbay on Bullard. Incredible cuban sandwiches, ropa vieja, and fresh meat cuts.Grab a sandwich, head to Riverhills Park, and contemplate life.

If you want good cafe con leche, or Cuban sandwich, or just want a hot meal. East lake has it all. The place is clean, and the staff is very friendly. I go everyday for lunch and they never let's me down. So if you love Spanish food, go and check them out!!!!

It's very easy to pass this place by, since it doesn't look like much more than a convenience store from the outside, but once inside, go all the way to the back and there's a deli counter with great Cuban food. They'll make you an excellent cuban sandwich, or you can make a plate with pulled pork, black or pinto beans, ropa vieja, yellow rice -- and probably more that I'm forgetting.Looks like a hole in the wall, but looks can be deceiving. Check it out for yourself.

Ive been here seveal times and not once have i complain. There food is soooo good and resoaonable too. I often come for breakfast omw to work i literally i have to drive 15mins out of the way but its well worth it and i will grab lunch while im there b/c there food is hot and ready all for under $10. You cant beat it. I recommend calling ahead cuz this place will get crowded often.

After years of eating their Deli food, it suddenly turned for the worst. My last three meals there were prepared by the same woman and the Roast Pork was 2/3 fat and bone all three times. After the first time I asked the Cashier about it and the final time I took the fat and bone back to them and I will never go back. I won't shop at a place that has employees that sabotage meals.
