    Bacon, egg and cheese empanada
    Addessa J.

    I made a stop over to box of Cuban just for a quick bite. I ordered a egg and cheese empanada and con coffee leches. As for the taste of my egg and cheese empanada something was different about it. It did not taste like it used to. But my coffee was still delicious But I feel like I waited almost 20-25 minutes. Not sure if it was just due to a lot of orders but I will say they did have a lot of patrons in the restaurant. Overall ambiance it's appeared to be cleaned and organized and the food was smelling amazing.

    Listen, in the age of 10$ and 15$ hamburgers, this place doesn't necessarily rise to the occasion. I paid 14$ for a 7 or 8 inch long Cuban sandwich. Hardly wider than the width of the phone in your hand. Not only is it small, but they charged me 1$ per topping to add lettuce and onion. The sandwich is perfectly average. Tasted good but didn't come with fries or drink at a 14$ pricetag. I've had better tasting, larger Cuban sandwiches with fries and a drink in and around Tampa for less $. I wouldn't tell you NOT to order from this location, but it certainly wouldn't be my first recommendation. Probably wouldn't be my third.

    I really enjoyed our lunch at Box of Cubans, the food was made fresh and very good. I would say that the cuban here is really good, but not the best I've ever had. In fact, my sister got the chopped grilled cheeseburger and it was amazing! I would go back for that specifically. We also tried the black beans, which were not the greatest in my opinion. The service was wonderful, the ambiance was mediocre but the food was great! I will be back for sure!

    I think the pictures of the Cuban sandwich speaks for itself. A very lackluster Cuban for the price. The flavor was delicious, but toppings were for sure, slacking. I will say everything else we had was outstanding like the rice and beans, the plantains, and the picadillo and plantain empanada. I think this place is an outstanding place for lunch with good food. It had the Cuban been bigger, I for sure would have rated a perfect five star.

    Media Noche Sandwich
    Karen G.

    I was told this was the home to one of the best Cuban sandwiches in the Tampa Bay Area so I had to come find out. The restaurant is super cute, was very clean and bright. I ordered the media noche and it was very tasty! The pork was juicy and flavorful, the bread was buttery and fresh. Perfect balance of meat to cheese to bread ratio. What was even better were the empanadas. The picadillo one with sweet plantains and picadillo inside was unreal! Quick and friendly service as well. Will be back!

    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.

    Club Sandwich

    We were up for trying something new... Cuban Food!! Unfortunately this place just has super greasy fatty meat and the sandwiches were just ok. The Whole place was a bit grimy and there wasn't a lot of flavor to the meat or sauces. The club sandwich was the best.

    OMG!!! We were passing through on our way home to GA from Naples. My husband was craving a Cuban sandwich.. we found these folks on yelp.. I ordered the steak sandwich and it was hands down the best sandwich I have ever had.. we will definitely be back! Service was great, staff were nice and my hats off to the chef!!

    Pan con lechón

    When we arrived the place was busy with lots of customers, bathrooms were clean, tables were clean and great Cuban memorabilia surrounding the restaurant. Steak sandwich and Pan con lechon... AMAZING!!! My fav...steak sandwich!! The steak was very well seasoned and the mix of flavors was a wonderful ! Steak was juicy and all was fresh! The bread was nicely toasted and also fresh. This place is a must visit if you want to taste authentic Cuban sandwiches. I'm from the 305 area and I haven't had a steak sandwich this good in years!!!! To top it off! When we were leaving the manager asked us again if we enjoyed our food and treated us to some great authentic Cuban Espresso!!!

    Chop cheese

    First place in my area that I found a chop cheese. Very authentic New York bodega style. The people here at this location are awesome and really truly love the food that they cook. Highly recommended.

    Steak "Pan Con Bistec" Sandwich
    Kerri C.

    Mmmmm! Everything I had from Box of Cubans was wholly satisfying. Ordering online was an easy process. My order was promptly prepared and ready to be picked up. The interior of the restaurant is unassuming, yet bright and efficient. The Steak "Pan Con Bistec" Sandwich was delicious. The marinated meat was pleasingly peppery. A couple of the bites were a bit tough, but that didn't really bother me since it tasted so good. The Cheese Burger Empanada was golden, crispy yumminess. Ham Croquettes were very tasty, as well, just smaller than I expected. The Cilantro Aji and Mojo Mustard Sauces are out of this world! Give me buckets of those sauces. It was a meal that left me basking in the aftertaste of scrumptiousness. Go support this family-run small business. You'll be glad you did.

    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!

    I usually come here when I have a craving for empanadas. I've tried most of them and can't say I've had a bad one. Solid find!

I ordered the Tony Piccante, and my husband got something similar to an Italian sub ( can't remember the name). Both sandwiches were packed with flavor and made with really fresh ingredients. The portions are no joke either..you're definitely getting your money's worth. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying without feeling heavy. I was full eating half. Perfect quick stop if you want something filling and flavorful.

We couldn't…read moretell who had ordered versus who was waiting for their order based on how crowded it was. After a bit, we realized everyone had ordered already and we stepped up to the cash register. I ordered the PROSCIUTTO DI PAPO and my boyfriend ordered the THEE PARMESAN DON. We stood awkwardly in the way of the trash can for a while as there was zero space in the place to go to truly be out of the way of people. After about 20 minutes of standing there, a table cleared up and we very quickly rushed over to grab a seat. The cashier came out and cleaned another table but did not bother to clean ours. It seemed as though she was only willing to clean empty table. After about 40 minutes, our food was ready. It was insane to see how many orders were on their screen as the whole kitchen is visible from inside the place. The sandwiches were good, but I would absolutely recommend ordering ahead so that you don't get stuck standing there forever waiting. I also don't necessarily think the sandwiches were as good as expected. Especially for how long we had to wait.
