It was perfection from beginning to end. From the friendly staff to the feel of sitting in a small cafe in Cuba, it was an experience to remember. Let's talk about the food. I had my third Cuban in three days and this one was easily the best and most authentic. The plantains with mojo criollo were incredible. My son's steak came with the most delicious dipping sauce that made parsley taste like far more than a garnish on the side of a plate. The side salads were so fresh and had the most wonderful pickled onions on top. My other son had salmon that was perfectly cooked and came with a side of quinoa like I've never tasted before. I had the absolute best mojito I have ever had, and to top off the meal I had a beautiful cafe con lèche that was perfection in a cup. This is most definitely a hidden gem. Seek it out if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. Your tastebuds will thank you.

I look forward to trying other flavors next time. The store could use an updated sign. I was so close to leaving the plaza thinking yelp had outdated info when I couldn't find the venue. The sign was definitely not what I was expecting it to look like and could use a replacement for something brighter like yellow and red.

OMG WOW! These are the absolute BEST empanadas I have ever eaten! They come in a variety of meals…read morewhere you can mix and match flavors like beef, pork, black bean/ plantains, and cheese. They probably have even more if you ask. They are GLUTEN FREE and the flavor is spectacular! I tried the cheese and my husband got the beef and black bean with plantains. The owner even makes homemade sauces. A green mild and red spicy sauce. Mix the two sauces and you have an amazing flavor and a little heat to go along with the flavor of the empanadas! The cheese is a food lovers dream. Cheese just dripping out of the middle of this creation like a piece of fine art! What can I say except that I have been craving these empanadas ever since I ate them last week! The owner George, is kind, professional and the restaurant at Renningers flea market (one of two locations) is very basic with not much seating but easy enough to find. The overall experience makes this unassuming restaurant seem like just another food booth when it is a diamond among the crowd. Who knew you could get 5 star service and amazing food at a flea market! I have decided that for football weekends I am going to special order a dozen of these and take them home. The overall customer service and atmosphere is so welcoming that you feel like family. Don't miss your chance to try authentic empanadas made with love from a family run business that literally put their heart and soul into making these the best empanadas ever!

From a food standpoint alone, I'd absolutely come back. That said, the experience was a bit confusing and ended on a frustrating note. We weren't asked whether our order was for here or to go, and after ordering, our group of five sat down (we pulled together five chairs) and waited for our food. Despite that, everything came out in to-go packaging. When we walked in, we noticed other tables dining in had bottles with three different types of salsa available. However, we were only given a very small portion in a to-go container. I went up to grab a pineapple Jarrito and asked if we could use the salsa bottles since we were eating there. Instead, I was told no and that we had already been given to-go salsa--and they also tried to charge me extra for additional salsa. What made it more frustrating was that when I explained we were dining in, I was told that we had asked for our food to go, which wasn't the case. No one in our group was asked, and we had clearly sat down to eat inside. It felt unnecessarily rigid and dismissive, especially since we brought in a group of five and spent over $70. The food was genuinely great, but the lack of communication and flexibility on the service side made the experience feel awkward and disappointing. I'd still recommend the place for the food, but hopefully the service improves.

Fantastic. Like the best I've had in a long time. The tamale itself was soft and tasted great. I could have eaten five of them. They are topped with pork that is so flavorful, I cannot even put it into words. Next up was their cubano sandwich. Fantastic. The bread was crispy and the meats, including that incredible pork was just perfect. I've had cubanos before, but this one was exceptional. Just the right meat to bread ratio. We finished with their Maduros. These are sweet plantains cooked perfectly. The sweetness melts in your mouth. Fantastic. Bottom line, don't judge a book by its cover. It might be in a gas station, but the food is great. Give it go whether you are Cuban or not. You will love it.

There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed our experience from first walking in we were greeted immediately and taken to our table. We requested to sit on the patio. As we walked through the restaurant, there is a bakery/ espresso area and small gift area. We ordered the Hibiscus margaritas and they were spot on. From there we ordered the smoked wings and conch fritters both were delicious. Although, we are from Tampa home of the original"Cuban" sandwich we all decided to give theirs a try, and we were not disappointed. There are walls filled with pictures and memories of Hemingway throughout the restaurant. After dinner we had the double espresso with whipped cream and chocolate ..... and once again we were not disappointed! Hemingways Tavern is a must!
