Another local lunch place new the port of Tampa that brings more Cuban flavors in the area. Decent selection of food options here including hot plates. Most of the food is pre made and ready to go. Have had a few sandwiches from this place and liked them all. Service is great and will often offer a free shot of espresso before you go. But this is a small hole in the wall type place. Has some outside seating but mainly designed to order and go. read more

D & D Delights - Croquette - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Recently new ownership, this quaint little shop is motivated to make this place sought after. The staff is expeditious at taking orders and orders are filled fast. We shared a Cuban loaded with ham, and could have used a bit more roast pork, but I was not disappointed. Everything was there for makings of a great Cuban. They've also incorporated a good selection of hot foods ready for plating or to-go. New tables and chairs have been added for a sit down for a quick bite. The restroom is clean but a second one would be useful. After our meal, the owner offered a fresh Cafecito sample and spoke with us about how she'd recently taken over for the previous tenets who'd been at this location for 38 years. This is a recommend from me! I won't hesitate to return for another good meal. read more

D & D Delights - Cuban - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Day 2 of the new job in Ybor and this is my second Cuban sandwich. This spot was recommended by a friend as it has been in business for quite some time. This was a busy place. I was there less than 3 minutes and watched them sell 20 Cubans to all the working guys running in for a quick meal. The sandwich was already made so I just took it back to my office. They only serve food to go as there is no place to sit. I got back and unwrapped the sandwich only to find lettuce and tomato on it. My Cuban buddy said if you see lettuce, run the other way . I tried the sandwich and it wasn't bad for a ham sandwich. The roast pork was sliced rather than pulled on this one, and very sparse. It wasn't a bad sandwich, but it wasn't what I had in mind for a Cuban. The croquetas were on point. This one wasn't my favorite, but I was happy I got to try it. Tomorrow is another day and another sandwich. read more

Best cuban sandwiches in Tampa! I could stop the review right there but this is Yelp so here are a few more details... Large Cuban is under $5!!! Incredible value! Yes it is out of the way and located in the industrial port section of Tampa. Go look at some ships or visit the shrimp docks while you're in the area! Yes it is a small hole-in-the-wall local place (which in my opinion already makes it a must try). The place gets busy so you know it's good! They have breakfast options and many other sandwich options which unfortunately I have never tried as I am always chowing the cuban. If you want a traditional and superb cuban sandwich definitely put this place on your list! read more

I was impressed with the fantastic service! The wonderful owner/manager took my phone order, and had my sanwiches ready by the time I got there and was very accommodating! read more

This food is so good I almost ate the bag and the wax paper the sandwich was wrapped in, this time I tried the roast pork sandwich with a side of black beans, wowwwwww sandwich was moist and so flavorful, I tried to save half, yea right didn't happen, black beans were silky and packed with little pieces of porky goodness, people are super friendly and you can't beat the prices, I've been coming here for about 10 years, usually stick to the Cuban sandwiches which are out of sight but I may have a new favorite, nice job D&D's!!!! read more

The owners are amazing as amazing as the food! I had the chance to talk to one of the employees who has worked for them for almost 30 years and her love for her job and was so moving. Super cute and right to the point Cuban food. Yummy sandwiches, danishes, and authentic Cuban food Amazing cafe con leche! Amazing prices for the quality and taste, too! read more

What a great place!!! Homey and comfortable!! So friendly to all!! I bought the guava pastries and guava with cheese pastries. They were delicious!! Also picked up a Cuban pressed sandwich for later. It also was great!! I will be back!! read more

This is a true Tampa Gem! Fastest sandwich in town and the price is fair. And the pine scrub setting is classic central Florida. (Owners: please plant a couple long-leaf pines on the property) They have their act together and are aware of every customer. If anything, customers need to step it up a notch to keep it moving. They make sandwiches much faster than jimmy johns. The employees are ready to start your sandwich the minutes you come in. You don't have to wait for an available computer to start your order, just blurt out what you want and go pick out chips and a drink. One of the best under-$10 lunches in Tampa. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Always friendly, very clean restaurant and the people there are utterly AMAZING! The food is always delicious!!

**** Updated Review **** Popped back into D&D because I remembered how awesome their roast pork sandwich was. Well, it was very good again with super soft Cuban bread and tender chunks of pork. I will say that I remember it being a lot more moist as this time it was kind of dry. Though, I might have ordered it with extra au jus last time. Also, the service was super fast and the black beans side is a meal in itself - just like before. Well done, D&D. read more

D & D Delights - Best Cuban Sandwich! Must try the Croquetas! - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Sweet people great food your typical hole in the wall breakfast and lunch only for the working guy kind of place. But most importantly the food is fantastic the best Cuban sandwich I've had in years. I was born and raised in Tampa so I know what a Cuban sandwich is supposed to taste like unfortunately I've lived in Houston for the past 20 years I don't often get a chance to go to Tampa but when I do my wife insisted I bring her home Cuban sandwiches. And when I unpacked my suitcase I was an instant superhero at the house, my wife was so impressed with how great the sandwiches tasted. I also brought her six handmade stuff potatoes another grand slam! I can't say enough good things get off your butt your nanny and get yourself a great Cuban sandwich!!! read more

I have been eating here for over 20 years. Recently my goddaughter found herself in need of a kidney transplant after a lupus diagnosis. We planned a fundraiser car wash and we needed to feed the volunteers. I immediately thought of Santi and his family there at D&D Delights. We told him what we needed, and not only did he come through like he always does with amazing food, he insisted on DONATING the food because of what we were doing this for. God Bless you Santi and Maria....I cannot thank you enough. Go here!!! The food is always amazing, and the people are the kind of people you want to support because they are amazing folks.

Gem of a place. The best sandwiches in Tampa (try the steak) at incredible prices. D&D is a Mom and Pop, local biz where you leave feeling happy since the employees are so personable and friendly. We lived in Tampa for 12 years and this a place we make sure we go to when we return. read more

I get inflation....... But a tuna sandwich for $9 on two pieces of white bread and a slice of American cheese is a little much, especially since the day before I got a 7" ham sub, a bag of chips, and a drink for $7.80. Really disappointed. The sandwich was good but not $9 good. read more

This place is amazing we had the Cuban sandwich and chicken empanadas! Best Cuban sandwich I've ever had !!

I enjoy the sandwiches and the Cafe con Lecha any time I can make it to the area for breakfast or lunch. The cubans are the BEST and for the price it even better. Always hot and delicious. The owners are the sweetest people always making sure that you are help and find everything you looking for. It's small but big at heart. And they even have a great breakfast menu to choose from. If only I lived closer to D & D I would eat here 5 times a week. read more

Excellent, fast, delicious foods! The staff is wonderfully colorful and vibrant. Great spot for a quick lunch. The Cuban with chips and a giant sweet tea only costs $6. read more

The staff is out of this world. If you're looking for some of the best Cuban cafe con leche then you definitely found the spot. The food is amazing, they have the best breakfast sandwiches and no need to even mention the Cuban sandwich (many have tried imitating it but none succeed) the black beans and rice remind me of my mom's. And if you're in a hurry, no need to worry because they're almost as fast as a drive thru. read more

If you are looking for quick, simple, inexpensive food made to order and done right then check this place out. It's all counter service with maybe a table or two outside, I always get mine togo and take it back to the office. If you are lucky and the special of the day is turkey & dressing, make sure to try it. Just like Thanksgiving. Meat pies are crunchy and made daily. It is run by good people who work hard and keep the place clean. Stop in for a breakfast Cuban also. read more

Excellent place for lunch and/or breakfast. Love their selection of drinks as well. I have had both their cuban sandwich and egg/bacon breakfast sandwich. The croquettes are good as well! read more

All I can say is yuck, the food is cheap and the price is low. I tried several things here and haven't liked anything. Not a good lunch place because you can only sit outside. You get what you pay for. read more

My favorite Cuban food. I always get a pressed cuban since they are the best here, but I occasionally get the black bean soup which is great too. Even when its busy, the friendly staff are fast to get you fed. I like to go anytime I am in the are for lunch. Highly recommended! read more

I come here every week when I go into work staff is always friendly and attentive as soon as you walk in. Food is cheap, quality is good, overall a great place to grab something to eat for breakfast or lunch. Good Cuban coffee too when you need a pick-me-up and recommend trying out their rice pudding. read more

I live close by and try to eat at D & D's as much as is socially acceptable. I usually get what ever the daily special sandwich is, and it is always great. Their roast pork, meatballs, ropa vieja, chicken parm, and fried grouper are all excellent. Everything tastes fresh and homemade. And everyone working there is pleasant; they make you feel like part of the family. read more

Every opportunity I get to eat lunch here I do! Hands down my favorite pressed Cuban I have ever had ! Stop by and try it you will not regret it! Very inexpensive as well !! read more

I pass this little place everyday in my way to work. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast. They only take cash, which is a bit of a drawback, but they do have an ATM available. My breakfast sandwich was pretty good, a little plain but good. It was good right up until I found the two hairs in it. read more

This place has the worst Cuban sandwich ever, they are cheap cause u do not get anything, the Cuban sandwiches taste more like a ham sandwich wrapped in Mayo, they don't even use authentic Cuban bread. I have eaten many a Cuban sandwiches in my life and this one is in the realm of a 7-eleven. I hadn't been here in many years and I won't be back for a lot more read more

Their specialty is a Cuban sandwich with a drink for only $4.75! So much better than Subway too! Also, they have some of the best breakfast sandwiches! Don't pass this place up! read more

I can't say enough good things about D&D's. Been going here over 20 years. They make great food at a very fair price. The owners Santi and Marta are some of the most decent hardworking people I have ever known who treat every one like family. I would eat here every day if I could ! read more
