I started with crab dip as a starter preceded by a fresh salad that had a refreshing vinegrette with parmesan at the bottom ( so good!!) Then came the seabass.... OMFG !! Prepared flawlessly accompanied with double veggies due to me refusing the potato mash (cuz im watching my carb intake) and washed down with a mojito. Every bite was fulfilling. And I will definitely come back!! (Visiting from Oakland, California)

Overpriced and not that good of quality. The snapper fish?…read moreIt was fried and in chunks.. that isn't gourmet. The plantains were hard. The pollo vija (chicken and rice) was just a bowl of rice with a burn chicken leg on top then some chunks of fatty chicken throughout. Disappointing and not much flavor. The Yuca fries were flavorless and greasy. We spent over $100 here. Never again. If you want delicious and authentic, and a little cheaper? Go to the historical COLUMBIA restaurant in Tampa area. It's beautiful and the cuisine is authentic as well as flavorful, and they give warm comforting piece of Cuban bread before the meal with fresh butter. Thank me later.

The food was great my vaca frita had some moist meat with crispy edges a and the rice was perfectly cooked, the yuca lacked flavor and salt. The service was friendly but slow. We were a large table of 10 but given that we were the literal only table in the whole restaurant, things took awhile. I would come back if I lived in the area for sure!

This is a clean, calming and inviting little restaurant. My server was on the spot, polite and…read morehelpful. The croquettes were perfectly crisp on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The "hot sauce" that they brought with them was just the right mix of flavor and heat. My Masas de Cerdo Fritas, with white rice and black beans, although a little on the dry side was tender and flavorful and beautifully presented. The sides were expertly prepared and the black beans were extremely flavorful. If it weren't for the pork being on the dry side, this would have been a 5 star review from me, which I rarely give. I am looking forward to returning to see if I can revisit my review and add that star.

I find it hard to trust my bigoted countrymen. But we went to see Elio today and it reaffirmed my belief that one of my heroes from childhood was correct. "Despite everything, I still believe that people are good at heart." That is a paraphrase from Anne Frank's' diary-but it still stands. This is a poem I wrote today. I asked Google to translate it into Spanish. I hope that it conveys the true spirit of what America really stands for. El globo que solía poseer - Un poema para James Conocí a un hombre en su último aliento Su carrera casi acabada En su habitación había un globo De esos que solían vender El eje, de bronce y dorado Representando al mundo Con fronteras desactualizadas Y pueblos fronterizos ya olvidados Pero las mismas guerras siguen luchando Le pregunté si había amado bien Sonrió, más amplio que el cielo "Oh sí, muchacho, mucho he amado No puedo esperar al siguiente; La vida que cargo aún me lleva" Miré ese globo Una vez más... el mismo globo que lo conoció bien y nos deja, aún gira Pero las guerras aún arden Cuando termine, ya no Tendrá necesidad de globos O guerras O pueblos con nombres olvidados Supongo que las guerras son para los vivos - Deseo que su globo pudiera Dejar de girar Suficiente tiempo para ver Un globo sin guerra Sin miedo, ni una sola lágrima Y fronteras con papeles que solo digan "Bienvenido de nuevo Te hemos echado de menos."

I visited Ole Tampa Cubans last weekend for lunch and tried the Traditional Cuban and Devil Crab…read more Even though the Cuban had soft and flakey toasted bread, flavorful ham, Swiss cheese and tangy pickle, the roast pork (which in my opinion is the most important part of a Cuban) was very skimpy and only covered about 1/3 of the sandwich. The pork that was in there was not very flavorful and dry. The Devil Crab was nicely crisp on the outside and had a pleasant spice aroma when cut open but the inside was very mushy and mostly consisted of filling rather than shredded crab. I could not taste any crab meat even though I could see it. On top of those disappointments, I was also charged for a cup of water. Not a bottle but what you would get from the fountain machine. Overall, the food I tried has promise but has glaring issues and it feels like the restaurant is cutting corners at the cost of the quality of their food.

It started off great as they brought out some soup samples and they Had some great choices on the menu, Food was ok, but was NOT worth the 2 hours we had to wait, there weren't many people there but I believe they were also low on the cooks. I wish the meats had more layers of flavors. The food just was lacking for me. Maybe it was an off day as I have only been here this one time, but it wasn't worth it for me to come back and try again unfortunately The ambiance was ok as well as the service! Our server was very sweet and tried to help as much as possible which was definitely appreciated! Everything overall was ok. Wish the best
