Hidden gem! Food is amazing! The bacon, egg and cheese empanadas were to die for. They are a must try and something I'll be back for over and over! We got French toast, pancakes and burritos all were AMAZING. My husband got a chocolate coffee which he loved, and didn't share with me! The place was packed but service was quick, we got ours to go. The restaurant is super cute, extremely clean and staff was very friendly. read more

This is a great place for breakfast/brunch. I dropped by Eleven80 for a quick bite. I ordered at the counter. I ordered an iced cafe con leche and an Italian beef empanada. The cashier made my drink right away and had me sit at a table to enjoy it while waiting for my empanada. The cafe con leche was absolutely delicious! So smooth, just the right amount of sweetness. The empanada was on the small side, but the wrapper was so delicately fried, and the filling was absolutely delicious (I'm a sucker for Italian beef!). I'll happily return, although next time, I'll need two empanadas! read more

Very cute little spot. Parking is a bit tight and so is seating but they make it work. The staff was really nice, it was a busy morning but they did a great job of managing it all. The food was good quality... once I got the proper order. Overall it's definitely worth a stop if you're not in a rush and want to enjoy a leisurely morning. read more

I was excited to try this place given all the high reviews and I must say, I was extremely letdown. I want to give them the benefit of doubt and say they just had a rough day, but the entire sandwich i had just was so bad, and the ingredients tasted bad/old that I'm going to find it hard to return unfortunately. I'll start with the good, the service was great and chef took his time to visit every table in the savory empanadas were delicious. The alright: Tropical hash - did not look like the pictures and the corned beef tasted like hot dog to me while the smashed plantains were hard and tasted like they were made days before. The seasoning was good and I did enjoy the eggs, onions, and peppers. Guava and cheese empanada - good flavor but extremely thin. The bad: The veggie sandwich - there is nothing good. I can say about this except maybe just the egg. The beans were hard, the avocado was hard and not ripe, plantains were hard and not sweet, the bread tasted stale, and the sandwich was lukewarm at best. The entire thing tasted like it was made yesterday and then served today. I really tried liking it, even taking it apart to see if any component of it was good and that's where I found the only thing I could eat was the egg. My expectations were shattered. The pictures of the food online do not match what you get so that's another thing I was let down by. I'm hoping it was just a one time fluke but I know I am very hesitant on trying them again, even though every video I have seen of the veggie sandwich has look med great. read more

Started my birthday off with Breakfast at Eleven80 Cafe. This was my first time here, and it won't be my last. The service really good and the food was delicious. I ordered the Back 2 Basics breakfast that included 2 eggs, protein, and side. My fiancé ordered pancakes, waffles, and potatoes. He really enjoyed his meal as well. It was a very clean space, and I loved all the plants hanging around the space. I highly recommend Eleven80 Cafe. I'm even thinking about coming back for lunch :) read more

Recently stopped by and checked out Eleven80 Cafe for breakfast. They are a newer coffee shop and cafe in South Tampa serving breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Of all the times to find a place with amazing empanadas and sandwiches, it had to be while I'm on keto. I resisted the temptation and ordered a ham, pepper, onion, and cheese omelette with a side of bacon and a cold brew instead. It was one of the tastiest omelettes I've had in a while, made with fresh, quality ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic. I'll definitely be back to try the empanadas and sandwiches when carbs are back on the menu. read more

Finally had a chance to check out Eleven80 and it did not disappoint! The owners are so kind and friendly and checked on our table during our visit to chat and make sure everything was great.

This is such a unique and wonderful addition to South Tampa! read more

My son asked if we can go back to Eleven80 Cafe and I couldn't put up much of a fight. The food is too good to turn down. Service = great Hospitality = great Food = phenomenal Drinks = delicious The catfish sandwich is still a fav. Yet, we also tried the fried chicken sandwich. Tasty!!! Both were very filling but we topped it off with the churros. Nice touch. read more

The best empanadas you'll ever have! Comes out piping hot & doesn't crackle into a million pieces like the other places so you know it's super fresh here and they make them to order only. The empanada was not greasy at all but not super flaky it stayed intact after each bite. It was piping hot so I let it cool down a bit before eating it. The empanada that I ordered came with the sauce that almost tasted like Cane's sauce but had a bit more of a bold spice flavor. It was fantastic. I was greeted by the manager Nelson when I was in line. The screen monitor with their food menu item kept on switching to different food items too quickly while I was reading it and the manager handed me a laminated menu to read off of that instead. Wow... no place has ever been that friendly & caring in service! The food prices are very decently priced for a cafe. It's very clean & the dining area looked very cozy. The staff here really makes you feel at home here... wow, super incredible ambience just makes you want to come back here & spend all your money here trying everything lol... SPECTACULAR menu so much variety I really need to try everything on the menu it all sounds so so good! The hibiscus lemonade is an absolute must... it was very refreshing felt like being at the spa with every sip. read more

Great Service & Super Welcome from this newbie Eleven80 Cafe. Empanadas to die for especially the guava and goat cheese. This is one of a kind being goat cheese instead of cream cheese. It is sweet so you choose to add more guava or not, but it's perfect just the way it is. I also ordered an Italian beef empanada, and a passion fruit lemonade. Next time I want to try the iced horchata and the jibarito hash. I'd love to see a guava latte and a jibarito sandwich(tostones as the bread w/ steak as the filling) as a special or on the menu in the future. Cute cafe w/ inside tables and nice decor and tasty Latin fusion bites will satisfy your hunger! Check Them Out for breakfast & lunch! read more

Came here on a Sunday and it's such a great addition to South Tampa! The empanadas are a must, crispy, flavorful, and clearly made fresh, and the ChiTown Clucker sandwich was super juicy and flavorful. We also met the owners, who were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth a visit! What I ordered: - Buffalo Chicken Empanada - Italian Beef Empanada - The Chitown Clucker read more

WONDERFUL from start to finish! We came in on Sunday morning and dove deep into Eleven80's offerings.

Seriously. 5 out of 5, 100 %, A PLUS! The food was flavorful, fresh, made &'served with a lot of love. Service was wonderful, owners on site and gave a lot of care to guests, chef came out from the back to ask about our satisfaction. Eleven80 just opened 3 weeks ago & I can only hope that this establishment sticks around and becomes a staple in the Tampa community. We will be back! read more

So I got a flyer for a free empanada. I'll let you be the judge if that makes this a biased review. First, what a cute little restaurant. It's in a small strip mall... Right off a busy highway. If you blink, you'll miss it. I missed it for over a month as I drive this route almost every day. Glad I got the flyer to introduce me to this little spot. Cute spot with an inner dining room and even an outside patio. Second, Gabriel (the front of house man... And I suspect manager/owner) was awesome. Super enthusiastic and polite. I heard him asking just about everybody in the restaurant how their visit and food was going. That's positive restaurant management that I don't see very often. Third (and finally), the food. Well, they only serve breakfast and lunch. You can get lunch during breakfast... You can get breakfast during lunch. But, no dinner. They have several things on the menu including eggs, waffles, and of course empanadas. I cashed in my ticket for a free empanada. I chose the Ropa Vieja version. I also got a Café con Leche. I got the coffee in hand first... Let me tell you... I think this is the best Café con Leche I've ever had. Gabriel asked me if I would like it "sweet or not sweet"... Obviously, I chose sweet. Perfect sweetness. Then came the empanada. It was delicious. The Ropa Vieja was perfectly seasoned and a perfect consistency being tender, not mushy. No complaints. Food and drink gets an A+. But, I do have one comment and/or criticism. I'm not an expert on empanada pricing... But, my Roba Vieja empanada was $6.50. As for a complete lunch and not a snack... You need at least two to fill you up. The empanada is well stuffed... But it's still a small empanada. So $13 for two empanadas tips the scale at being just a little bit pricey. So, I'll let you be the final judge... Nice location, great food, excellent coffee... however, not a "cheap eats" spot. read more

First of all, I got an invite from Nelson to come check out the restaurant. The transformation of the restaurant is wonderful. The warm colors and the music is inviting. I ordered the hibiscus lemonade....yum. Then, I ordered the Roja Vieja empanada, it was piping hot and very good with the chipotle mayo. Also, I got The Pops sandwich which was steak, onions and an egg omelette on Cuban bread. It's a big sandwich and very tasty. I have to mention Gabriel and Mike are awesome staff. I met Nelson briefly, very nice too. Go check it out in South Tampa. read more

The people were really nice, friendly, I had high hopes. The star menu item (some kind of steak sandwich with plantains on it ) was not available, so we split the jibarito hash, was good, but the food was not hot and the churros were a bit over deep fried but did like the caramel sauce. Space was clean and vibes are good, seems pretty popular nevertheless. Drunkin Noodle: No libations but the cafe and refresher drinks are good. I would come back fl get that steak sandwich with the plantains. read more

Food was ok. We ordered jibarito hash and breakfast burrito along with cafe con leches. Hash didnt have enough flavors just meh and burrito was meh too. Really bland. Cafe con leche were great though, especially iced cafe con leche. They also charge for tap water. For 2 ppl, expect to spend 50 bux. Also, inside was VERY crowded. Not enough tables and service was pretty slow which didnt help the table turnaround time. Sadly, we wont be back. read more

This restaurant has such nice decor and plenty of seating. The staff has an amazing energy and their service was great. The food was also unbelievable. I only tried the empanadas and coffees, but I'll definitely be back to explore the menu. read more

I was invited to try out this new cafe, but since none of the food was vegan, I opted for a oat milk cafe con leche and it's so good! It's also so quiet and cute inside. Actually I'm noticing there's no music playing at all, and to me, theres something really refreshing and calming about that. This is a really good spot for getting remote work done. There's a large table and high too table at the front which has outlet access too so I'm really happy I tried this place out. Thank you Gabriel who took care of me! read more

This cafe has the friendliest owner who greets each customer with a smile! They are open for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. They have tables and chairs inside but also seem to have lots of take away customers. Ordered the vegetarian sandwich with eggs, cheese, black beans, Avocado and plantains on Cuban bread. It was huge! Also the goat cheese and guava empanadas. Both were delish! read more

We drove from Orlando to try Eleven80 Cafe on Dale Mabry Hwy, and it was absolutely worth the trip. The menu is a really interesting mix of classic breakfast and lunch with Latin flavors and a few Chicago influences. I'm originally from Chicago, so it was cool to see a couple things on the menu that felt like a nod to home. I ordered The Pops steak sandwich with onions, cheese, and a folded egg, and it was excellent. After living in Orlando for years, I honestly haven't found a steak sandwich that reminds me of the ones back in Chicago, but this one came really close. The bread was fresh, the steak had great flavor, and everything was put together really well. Since we made the drive, we also tried the Jibarito Hash. I only had a small portion because I was already full from the sandwich, but it was incredible. I'll definitely be coming back just to order a full plate of that. One thing I really appreciated is that they cook with beef tallow instead of seed oils, which you almost never see at restaurants anymore. You can tell they care about the quality of their ingredients. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and the owners even came over to talk with us and ask what brought us in. That kind of hospitality makes the place feel welcoming right away. If you're looking for a local, family-run spot in Tampa with great food and thoughtful ingredients, I'd definitely recommend Eleven80 Cafe. We'll definitely be back. read more

So, after eating brunch here today I pondered how to review them. I see they are rated very well, and that was the reason I came here. I just can't say it was a good experience and not sure if just a bad day for them or an ongoing issue. First off, the restaurant is really small but cute (wife's words). The menu has empanadas, omelettes, pancakes and other fare that sounds great. The staff is very friendly too. You wait to order at the counter then get a table number tent to put on your table. So, you basically line from register to the door in the middle of the restaurant. The issue that is both in their control and not simultaneously is the size. They only have 7 tables inside, which were all full and waiting for food. After ordering you stand basically amongst everyone dining waiting for a table to open up. Couple that with what is in their control is that they kept taking orders so more people were crowded waiting to sit. It felt very uncomfortable as you can't do anything but look at everyone a few feet from you eat, and I bet they don't enjoy feeling pressure to hurry up and scoff down their food. To top it off, we watched the staff appear in the weeds trying to figure what food that was ready went with what orders and it was a very discombobulated operation that added tension to a tight space. We finally got a seat after 30 min and our food 5 min after. My latte did not come and I had to ask for it & my son's drink too. I had a couple that picked up takeout then sit at a table tell us they do that every time to circumvent the crowd issue. So that tells me the seating is always a problem. As for the food, it was not great. My son's omelet was undercooked as it was a little runny inside, and my wife's empanada was not great, like it sat for a while getting cold. My food was good. So to wrap this up, this restaurant seems like it desperately needs a bigger location. They have a strong customer base from what I can tell, and seem to suffer from lack of space, and processes. For their success, I hope they can do both. Until then, I likely won't return. read more

I was invited by Nelson a couple of weeks ago as he had seen other Yelps I had done and wanted me to yelp his new business Eleven 80 Cafe. I came in greeted by one of the workers who was extremely nice, he said Nelson would be there soon, meanwhile I ordered breakfast for my husband and I.. As I was waiting for breakfast I took my pictures of the outside and inside of the cafe and included pic of Nelson and his one staff member I first saw. The ambiance as you can see from my pics is very nice and inviting. The food was excellent, I had a scrambled egg, chorizo and feta cheese empanada which they had a great dipping sauce for. Very delicious. My husband had scrambled eggs ham and hash browns, he also shared my plantains which came with my order. Everything was very good including my iced coffee. We got to meet and talk to Nelson who is very very nice and thanked me for coming and talked with us for a while. All the staff he has there is very friendly, this is a wonderful place in S Dale Mabry, Tampa. If I'm ever there again I would go to this place for a very delicious breakfast and good people! read more

I told my friends that this is a top 3 tampa food spot I've been to. I checked out Eleven80 today as I've been seeing a lot of their menu items online - especially the empanadas. I don't think I could have had a better experience. The chipotle mayo with the chicken empanada & the cucumber salsa with the chorizo empanada ... chefs freakin kiss. Im a sauce girl and chipotle mayo is my favorite condiment of all time - can confidently say this is the best I've ever had. The jibarito hash was my fav of the day. I don't think that dish could be made better. The meat resembles taylor ham/pork roll for my northeast/jersey people (but somehow may be even better??). I dipped the plantains in the chipotle mayo as well - pro tip, although I must say it doesn't need a sauce at all and stands alone perfectly. I don't even drink coffee but the cafe con leche was BOMB. I finished the whole thing - first coffee I've ever finished in my 26 years the hibiscus lemonade too WOW. SO resfreshing. The island fries r the perfect sweet treat - not too heavy after a meal and they stay together so well. If you work from home, definitely work from here, grab a drink, grab an empanada, chat with the employees, the vibe is undefeated. They also have a back patio with some outdoor seating which I will most definitely be taking advantage of. The staff is goated as well - I see this spot becoming a staple in our community very quickly. read more

Absolutely loved our visit to Eleven80! The ham, egg, and cheese empanadas were amazing--especially paired with the different sauces. We also ordered the jibarito hash, iced café con leche, and hibiscus lemonade, and everything was delicious. You can really feel the warmth of this small family-owned restaurant. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We asked about the story behind the name, and Gabriel shared that Eleven80 is the distance from their neighborhood in Chicago to Tampa.

Awesome place. Family business really goes out of their way to make sure you are happy. But how could you not be with their ridiculously delicious empanadas?

Had been there once before with my buddy. Thought it was nice spot. We came back to Tampa with our wives and took them there. Asked the owner if we could move a small table so we could sit together. Looked away with disgust a d said, "No we dont do that here." No eye contact and walked away. No attempt at all to work with us, tell us there would be a small wait, or anything. Extremely rude. We would have waited. We all looked at each other like did he really respond like that? My wife thought he was playing. He wasn't. Good luck treating people like that read more

Genuinely a great place to stop and visit, a great little menu for breakfast and lunch. We had some breakfast and lunch empanadas and my girls had a waffle with fresh fruit and sweet plantains. I don't know what makes a tasty empanada but these were definitely it.
