Cuban sandwich
Hememini M.

The Cuban sandwich is alright. I'm guessing the bread is old because although my sandwich arrived "toasted" but the insides are barely warm. Room temperature at best, the cheese is not melted. Yet it was very crunchy, reminiscent of stale bread. This is the first time I've received a Cuban sandwich with lettuce inside. I'm not sure what that's about. Traditionally it's pork, ham, Swiss, pickles in their mojo. I'm not sure why every Cuban I've had in Florida thus far has salami. There was Not enough pork to taste it. My mango shake was also alright. It was watery and not worth the 3.95. However their hot sauce taste very good I'd love to try it with a Columbian empanada

Roast pork
Tasha M.

By no means a bad 3 stars. It's a nice clean Cuban restaurant with daily specials. 1 meat 2 sides. I loved the option of being able to add soup or salad for .75 cents. I've had the roast pork in both occasions and both have been dry. I loved their homemade hot sauce but not enough is given to compensate for the dryness of the meat. The chicken soup is fresh with a nice rich flavor. All in all a decent option for Cuban cuisine.

I'm obsessed with the flavor of their home made hot sauce! Food is very good, the owner is very attentive. If you speak Spanish you're in better shape with the servers ... The papa rellenas are great, their cafe con leche is on point and we are starting to make it a post church regular spot !

Great flavor but needs a thicker chicken. It was so thin that it was hard and dry.

I am definitely a fan! I had a late breakfast here and loved the vibe. It is a small restaurant but it gets a lot of traffic. The staff was very nice. I am a sucker for warm Cuban bread and butter and they sure didn't skimp on portions.

I showed up here late, close to closing time one afternoon & was quite surprised to find a Cuban restaurant. I love many types of food, but living in Tampa I am quite partial to finding new Cuban establishments. Besides loving Cuban food & sandwiches, I love that most of these establishments also offer breakfast during their entire time open. As I entered the small quaint restaurant, I was pleasantly greeted. The specials were explained to me and the staff was very friendly & knowledgeable. I ended up ordering a bacon, egg & swiss cheese sandwich, pressed warm & toasty for my late lunch. The sandwich was fune, nothing remarkable, but hey, that's what I ordered. The establishment was closing, yet they did not hurry me, in any fashion. Did I mention that this place is immaculate? I mean shinny clean, immaculate! The cafe con Leche gave me a nice afternoon pick me up and was quite delicious & expertly prepared. It is hard to give it a fair rating on an egg sandwich & cafe. I will return for a full meal & I am sure I will add a star or 2. What's a girl to do? Keep looking for new & exciting places to try their food.

From the moment I walked in, it resembled a little piece of old Cuba or Spain! The history,…read morearchitecture, and cuisine celebrated here, along with the family warmth of the place, certainly caught my attention!! The wait staff were very friendly, Mark my waiter, has worked here for over 20 year! Speaks volumes about how they run this place! The service was chill, and the food was 1000% full of delicious flavor. I tried their classic famous salad, the seafood paella, and the flan! Absolutely hit the spot!! Visiting here on a Sunday evening was a totally different experience! It felt less like dining out and more like sharing a family meal in a much-loved, historic home. I'll definitely be returning and will bring friends and family with me next time I visit Tampa!

Recommended by our friends, we made a reservation at Columbia Restaurant during our visit to Ybor…read moreCity on Friday. As the oldest restaurant in Florida and the largest Spanish restaurant in the world, we felt it was a must-visit to experience its rich history and unique atmosphere. We also reserved seats for the Flamenco dance show, which had a $10 cover charge per person. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and enormous, with so many different dining rooms. You could probably get lost trying to find your friends inside, just kidding! We were lucky enough to get a table near the stage, so we could enjoy the Flamenco performance while having dinner. For our meal, we started with the Caldo Gallego "Giant Soup" ($10), which was hearty, flavorful, and incredibly comforting. We also ordered Columbia's Original "1905" Salad ($18). Made with crisp iceberg lettuce, julienned baked ham, natural Swiss cheese, tomatoes, olives, grated Romano cheese, Lea & Perrins® Worcestershire sauce, and their famous garlic dressing, it was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. Our main dish was the Mojito Chicken ($25). The chicken was very flavorful, especially with its delicious citrus-garlic sauce. Although the chicken itself was just a little on the dry side in my opinion, the flavorful sauce made up for it, and the dish was still very enjoyable. We also had the Paella "a la Valenciana" ($40), which was loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, calamari, chicken, and pork, along with green peppers, Spanish onions, ripe tomatoes, garlic, and a splash of white wine. It was a generous portion packed with fresh seafood and rich Spanish flavors. The New York Strip Sirloin "The Bambino" ($53) was another excellent choice. The 14 oz. USDA Choice wet-aged boneless strip steak was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. To finish our meal, we ordered the Flan ($8). It was smooth, creamy, and absolutely delicious, a perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. The Flamenco dance show was fantastic! The dancers were energetic and passionate, making the entire dining experience even more lively and memorable. Combined with the excellent service, it made for a truly enjoyable evening. Overall, Columbia Restaurant is much more than just a place to eat, it's a historic landmark and an unforgettable dining experience. Between the beautiful Spanish architecture, rich history, delicious food, outstanding service, and exciting Flamenco performance, it's definitely worth visiting when you're in Ybor City.

This is our favorite spot before going to TB BUCS games on Sundays! Amazing place! We never wait,…read moreeven when busy, and the prices are so affordable. The food amazing too! We went on a date night and walked in. We did ask nicely to move after we sat, because the man behind us was playing a soccer game loud on his phone. We were accommodated and moved closer to the music man- a nice musician who plays music while we eat. I didn't want to hear a random game but no complaints- on to dinner. Rolando was our server. I ordered empanadas- came hot! She ordered white meat chicken, fried bananas, and I ordered skirt steak, and flan. Amazing! Food was hot. Atmosphere great.

We tried a few things: -Churro: okay but definitely stale, wish it had been fresher. This was a bit disappointing. -Chicken and rice: chicken was not very flavorful. Parts were cooked perfect and some of it was a little dry. Definitely not great... The rice was fantastic, perfectly cooked and seasoned -Salmon and fries: this was really good, flavorful and cooked great. We just wish it was a little bigger for the cost. -Vanilla Flan: very good, just a bit small. -Tres Leche: stole the show! Fabulous! I would come back just for this! The texture was perfect and the flavor was flawless! It was sweet but not too sweet. Great dessert! Definitely check your food before leaving though as they did forget part of the meal. Not a big deal as the guy up front was super apologetic and friendly. That dude was great! They need more just like him. Also, not the cleanest, floors needed swept and mopped. (That definitely would have helped the experience) Overall, it was a good/okay experience, just not great.

Drinks only review. Stopped here after Riverwalking over to History Museum, and decided that a…read moreproper mojito would make the museum visit even better. Sat at the outdoor bar, and received prompt service. My mojito was tall, well muddled (if Columbia Cafe can't get a mojito right, who can?) and had all the right components, just a bit too much ice. Offspring's strawberry daiquiri was also quite refreshing. We didn't realize there's an entire other bar and seating area (air conditioned!) up on the second floor museum level - the bar up there looks quite ornate and fits in with the museum-oriented atmosphere.

My wife ordered the empanadas and the half 1905 salad and I ordered the half and half......half Cuban and half 1905 salad. My wife should have added 'bring them together' but she didn't and the server didn't bother to ask so the empanadas came out and everything else came out 15 minutes later. My wife had a cocktail and the bill was $60.20. Issues to fix: 1)I ordered a Coca Cola, $4.00 and in 92 degree weather it melts in 5 minutes. We were there for an hour and not one time did she ask if I'd like a refill. 2)When she made the 1905 table side she literally 'dropped' a handful of salad ON THE FLOOR between my wife's and my seat......she kind of chuckled, gave us our salads and walked away. She literally left the SALAD ON THE FLOOR THE ENTIRE MEAL! During the course of our meal probably 20 employees walked by and never bothered to pick it up. That in itself was the epitome of laziness and complete lack of respect to the customer. Our bill was $60.20 and I tipped $12 which normally I'm a 30% tipper and I could kick myself for giving her 20%. She deserved zero. I know I will never get a response from management but do you think I will ever come back? Nyet.
