I ordered the roast pork sandwich and it was the best I have had so far! A very good sized portion. Full disclosure I am half Cuban so...sorry Mom this was really good. I also got a café con leche which you can get without sugar. The bread was also great. Next time I am in Brandon I will be going here. read more

Delicious Cuban sandwich!! I loved my Cuban from here, I was craving one that was made all the way, with lettuce and tomato. So glad they offered that. The last behind the counter was so friendly and nice. She made it so good! The bread was so yummy too. I also had a side of yellow rice and beans, mmmm so good too! I really loved the food here and the prices were reasonable. Will definitely be back! read more

I'd give 3.5 stars if I could. The Cuban sandwich was very tasty. The homemade roast pork on the sandwich is delicious. It's a very generous portion, and a very good value. Unfortunately, it was drowning in butter or margarine. I normally would never complain about too much butter. I love butter! This was overkill, and it made the sandwich very greasy, rich, and heavy. It didn't sit well in my stomach. I'd go back and order the same sandwich again, but it would have to be light on the butter spread. It was just A LOT. You don't need that much butter to give it a nice press. Maybe that's why I haven't been back in such a long time. I couldn't remember the reason. I may go back to get a roast pork platter or ropa vieja next time. The prices here are good. read more

Dragged here by our long time friends Mario and Yaci, it's reportedly the very best Cuban in Fla. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place isn't much to look at; once again don't judge a book by its cover.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not wild about the service, but don't much care. Food was served in a timely manner and it was very hot. They were right, the Pallomila Steak was a nice surprise. The Empanadas I sampled were flakey and flavourful. A bit light on the meat; I tried the Ropa Vieja and it was the same story, but still a knock out flavour. Try the Malta India, it's non-alcoholic; it's different but refreshing. They make a phenomenal Cafe con Leche. read more

Tucked away in a plaza and they have reasonable prices. I ordered a Cuban sandwich, lunch entree (meat and 2 sides plus it came with plantains) and can of soda was $26. Very good portions. The pork was really good but yellow rice and black beans were very very bland. Cuban was large portion but tasted more like pork sandwich instead of a Cuban so I was alittle disappointed. I'd go back and try something different. read more

Great place for a quick cuban toast and cafe con leche...and they don't gouge you like many other Cuban restaurants! Very nice people also!

I'm still thinking about the Cuban sandwich from here. It was absolutely delicious. I was visiting from California and randomly decided to go here with my group and it was the best decision we made. This had to be the best food item I ate while out there in Tampa. The cashier was super helpful when ordering and recommended this sandwich. I'm extremely grateful I trusted her opinion. I love finding great finds, especially when they're small businesses. Highly recommend. read more

I've had a classic Cuban sandwich in a lot of places and this was hands down the very best Cuban I've ever had. The pulled pork was generous and tender and perfect! The whole sandwich was so very delicious. We also found a new favorite- the guava and cheese empanada was amazing! Must try! We wished we would've gotten several of them. read more

Authentic Cuban cafe with very friendly service. My friend had the breakfast sandwich but adapted it to make it just veggie and it was so plentiful - egg, lettuce, tomato and cheese - plus a delicious guava and cheese empanada and Cuban coffee. I had plain Cuban toast and it was also delicious. Small menu but plenty to choose from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual place to walk in and have a quick authentic Cuban breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would go back! read more

Nestled within the vibrant streets of Tampa, I stumbled upon a hidden local gem that left me savoring the flavors of an authentic Cuban breakfast. The aroma of a hot Cuban Breakfast Sandwich greeted me as l entered the humble establishment. We had the pleasure of trying Western Cuba sandwich. This delightful creation consisted of a toasted Cuban western omelet sandwich with green peppers, onions, eggs and ham. The combination of the fluffy omelet and the crisp, toasted bread created a symphony of flavors that delighted my taste buds. Accompanying this delectable sandwich was a cup of handcrafted cafe con Leche, a true testament to the artistry of the local baristas. The velvety richness of the coffee, perfectly balanced with the creamy milk, created a harmonious blend that invigorated my senses. In a moment of culinary curiosity, I succumbed to the allure of a guava and cheese empanada. With each bite, the empanada revealed its true magic, as the guava and cheese melted in my mouth. The sweetness of the guava and the creaminess of the cheese danced on my palate, creating a symphony of flavors that I will forever cherish. Regrettably, my eagerness to savor this delectable treat caused me to forget capturing a photograph of its irresistible allure. Don't let the modest exterior fool you; this place is a culinary delight waiting to be discovered. The service was friendly and fast. read more

Definitely ordered too much food but everything tasted delicious Stopped in with family for lunch and even though it was busy the line was moving quick. The have a lunch plate special for $9-$11 depending on what you get, I got the meat with peppers and onions with rice and beans with a side of plantains.. You'd think I'd stop there but no I also had to try the chicken tamale and for a sweet treat. A guava and cheese pastry. I took bites of everything before tapping out and it was all so good! I even stole a bite of my sisters Cuban which I've had before but still just so good! Great spot in the Brandon area. To my last review, cleanliness is a lot better and I'm happy to see them doing well! read more

The service is excellent and you can tell that love is put into everything they serve.

When I first walked in I was like this is a cute store I loved the decoration but the walls needed to be repainted it was peeling. Food tasted so good nothing was undercooked almost as if my mom cooked it herself. We were greeted as soon as we came in and she was patient while we were trying to figure out what we wanted to eat. I would definitely come back!!!! read more

This is the cutest little café! Reminds me of when I was in Miami. I had the Cuban special and it was soooo yummy that my bf decided he didn't want what he got anymore and went and got himself a Cuban special also! Ofc we saved the food he didn't want for lunch for the following day but that just shows how yummy it was. Def recommend! read more

Really impressed with this place for the delicious food and good value. I came in for lunch and got a lunch plate to go, this includes choice of rice + 1 meat + 2 sides and bread. I chose the roast pork, yuca and red beans. I can confirm what other reviewers wrote, you will get a huge amount of food, for $12 this lunch plate is easily enough for 2 meals. I also got the Cuban Sandwich, they make a great sandwich with heaps of meat, hot pressed bread. It's made to order but worth the wait. Already looking foward to coming back soon. read more

I was anticipating the paella to have a small bite to the texture and a nice crispy Socarrat. It was mushy and lacked flavor. They divided it up between two plates and gave the other person a whole lemon and me no lemon. Overall it didn't leave me very impressed. read more

Oh man what a nice find! I went to donate platelets at one blood and wanted a nice sandwich to eat. A great surprise was there was a nice Cuban cafe almost right next door!

This sandwich was nice and yummy great way to start the morning! read more
