    I ask to go my plate ropa vieja
    Anatilde P.

    Fui para ver como era, pero me sorprendi por los precios muy alto y menos comida en el plato. Comparado con otros locales de comida around. Si volvere no creo. The flavor waa ok. But no "hay que rico' improve flavorvand yiu cut sale your food for that price.

    Food is tasteless, and or wired seasoning. Meat empanadas are a disaster. Red beans are watery.

    I didn't know about this place until my Yelp friend Tim wrote an awesome detailed review about it…read more It took me a while to try it, but I finally did last year. He was very right. Naida makes some tasty Cuban sandwiches here for a good price. The star of the sandwich is Naida's roast pork. It's well seasoned and it totally makes this sandwich shine. I usually get it with everything, but I keep forgetting that they'll include onions if you ask for it "all the way." It's good with or without it, but I prefer it without. Just keep that in mind and be specific if you don't want onions on your sandwich. Naida also makes the best café con leche. I sometimes go there just for Cuban toast and that awesome coffee. It gives me energy! They have a small hot bar area of daily offerings with some kind of rice and beans. It may change daily. I haven't ordered a platter, but I will one day. They do have a tasty arroz con salchichas side item. My mom used to make it sometimes with those little canned Vienna sausages. Yeah, it's a comfort thing for me. They also make wonderful breakfast sandwiches and ham croquettes. El Cuba Cafe is hidden inside of a Circle K convenience store on Bell Shoals Road. It's directly across the street from Publix at Bloomingdale Square. I know it has Cuba in the name, but their is a lot of Puerto Rican representation here. That may also be why I'm so fond of it. It's also super convenient, and the service is great. I usually drive in the back way to avoid all the construction nearby. There's no dining area. You just order your meal and take it with you. It's a no frills kind of place. A real hidden gem!

    Great Cuban Sandwiches. Fast Service. Felt confused when I pulled up the lot, but it's inside the…read moreCircle K.

    I came to Cali Viejo with my family and had a really great experience! We ordered the fried…read morechicken, and it was delicious. It came with rice, beans, and plantains, and the portion was really big for the price. I also got the natural soursop juice, which was really good and refreshing. I tried the Colombian tamal too, and it was HUGE! It came with rice and was very filling. We also got a sandwich with smashed fried plantains, an empanada for my little sister, and some pandebono. Everything was really good! My parents are from Colombia, so they really enjoyed this place and loved the Colombian food. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice, and it's a very family-friendly restaurant. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the service was great. I would definitely come back and give Cali Viejo 5 stars!

    This place was amazing! This is my first time ever having Columbian food, but I genuinely think…read morethat it won't be my last at all! I got the paisa, and when it came out, I was shocked with how much food it was. Definitely worth the money, and a friend of mine got the sampler as a main dish, and it was fantastic! My favorite was the blood sausage for sure! The service was kind, but I will say that there was a good amount of wait for the food. Honestly, I didn't mind it at all. The ambiance is more fancy than I expected but it was a pleasant surprise!

    Stopped in for lunch. It has been a while since I've eaten here because I don't eat pork or beef,…read morebut my SO wanted a Cuban so I figured I'd get a turkey sandwich. Well to my surprise they have added bowls to the menu so I got a chicken bowl and MAN!!!! It's delicious! My SO got a Cuban and he said it was really good.

    Alright y'all, here we go with the official review for Box of Cubans - 10451 Gibsonton Dr…read more First things first -- the customer service? Absolutely loved it The guy at the front was on point the whole time. Even coming in right after the lunch rush, he made sure everything stayed clean and organized while still taking care of customers. That kind of attention to detail does not go unnoticed They were out of the sweet teas (I was hurt a little bit ), but overall the experience was still really good. Now let's get into the food because you already know that's what we're here for The chicken empanadas? Delicious. No complaints. The Cuban sandwich? It was good... but I'm gonna keep it real like I always do. The meat was flavorful, but it could've been more evenly distributed, and it didn't have that crispy bread texture I look for. Overall, it just didn't hit that top-tier level for me. So for this location: 8/10 Still a solid experience, still worth the visit -- but as of right now, the Wesley Chapel location is still holding that 10/10 crown And you already know I'm not done... Valrico, I'm coming next. That's Just How Life Goes... and of course, Just How Food Goes
