My wife and I happened upon this place while visiting St. Petersburg and what a find. Very friendly and informative staff. We both ordered the El Habano Cubano Sandwich. A delicious combination of pork, ham, salami and Swiss cheese on Cuban bread. Unlike Cubanos we have had in the past, it was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is delightfully decorated with Cuban paraphernalia.

Went on recommendation from person staying at our hotel. Ordered the bourbon chicken, fried rice, sweet plantains, and a side of pork. We wanted a sampling of all the different foods, but based on their company policy, you only could get platters which I thought was a great disservice If you are new to the cuisine and wanted to try a little bit of everything. overall it was a lot of food, It was flavorful, but very heavily salted so it was a little hard to enjoy the natural or true flavors of the food. price point was average and we were happy to be able to contribute to the local economy and not just the tourist areas as we were staying at a resort on the beach. We made a conscious effort to support the local businesses. I wouldn't return, but the food is not bad. We just do not like as much food nor do we like so much salt.

Was randomly looking through Yelp for something savory to eat and discovered this bomb Cuban cafe. First I'd like to say that the few Cuban food I've tried is okay. I started losing hope in Cuban food until I tried this cafe. As you enter the restaurant you're greeted by a diverse amount of pork, chicken and other Cuban dishes. They have carnitas, Lechon, chicharron, pollo, empanadas, Cuban sandwiches and so much more. I was tempted to get the carnitas and Lechon but decided to get the beef empanada, Cuban sandwich and chicharron instead. By far the best tasting chicharron I've had in Tampa bay! The Cuban sandwich as well as the empanada were superior to the rest of the Cuban food in the area. Overall giving them a 5/5 for the delicious and authentic Cuban food. The staff were also great too. Easy to talk to and informative. The ambiance felt like a older style cafe restaurant. Highly recommend trying their food!

My wife and I decided to visit this place in while we were in St. Pete for Christmas. We always end up staying in north county because it cheaper. This restaurant was pretty close to our hotel.I got an Iron Beer and two beef empanadas. They were both pretty good. I also had a guava pastry that was very good.

Great location for Cuban foodies,Just off Gandy Bridge near 4th street. Amazingly large deviled crab stuffed with crab meat instead of fillers. I also enjoyed Spanish rice and black beans. Cafe con leche is excellent. Great service. Happy workers who go out of their way to ensure your satisfaction. Entrees in this indoor, comfortable cafeteria style restaurant look freshly prepared. Wide variety from pork to chicken and fish. Well worth your visit! Disfruta de la comida!

Food tasted good but I got severe food poisoning from the pork in the mofongo. Ate the tamale with pork that I took as leftovers and got violently ill again two days later.
