    Passed by here Saturday and decided to order a few empanadas, and we were not disappointed. We ordered the ground beef, chicken broccoli and cheese, spinach and artichoke, Italian sausage and cheese, the chicken and cheese, guava and cream cheese as well as the Spanish bean soup. It was all delicious. I've never have a chicken broccoli and cheese empanada, but I will absolutely order that one again. I really liked that the empanadas aren't greasy. The soup was good and the meat they put in it (not sure what kind) was really tender. The pricing isn't bad either. For 7 empanadas and the soup it was about $28, so it's a decent price for what you get. We will be back

    Cuban Sandwich

    I got two chicken and broccoli cheese empanadas. Amazing! Small Italian salad was good. The Cuban sandwich was terrific. Will order again.

    Heard about this place for years but first time stopping in. Wanted a couple empanadas but decided on a classic Cuban sandwich which was good. I don't know why but I like Cuban sandwiches over a meat pocket. Going to be back in another week so I'll try the empanadas an update. But all in all the staff was nice, very fast and that Cuban sandwich was delicious

    Picadillo (better known as Meat Empanadas)

    Great little fast-food stop tucked into a corner of the Publix shopping center on Dale Mabry at Linebaugh in Carrollwood. Mr. Empanada serves......wait for it, wait for it....... empanadas! OK, empanadas are best known as a little Latin delicacy which are formed by folding dough around a filling of meat, cheese, seafood, veggies, or fruit to create a sweet or savory fried pocket of absolute yumminess. Mr. Empanada serves the following types of empanadas: Ground Beef (picadillo) Ground Beef & Cheese Italian Sausage & Cheese Spinach, Artichoke & Cheese Crabmeat (Claw crabmeat -- none of that fake Krab stuff) BBQ Chicken Pizza Chicken, Broccoli & Cheese Guava & Cream Cheese Apple Philly Steak & Cheese In addition they make platters of mini empanadas (25 to a platter) which are perfect for tailgating or parties at home. They also have a wide variety of salads, soups, and even a Cuban sandwich. Highly recommended as a quick lunch stop, or a place to consider if you're having a party and want to serve something different.

    Beef & cheese like my mom makes. Not a fan of the guava and cheese one though. But most people think it's crazy good.

    Empanadas are great as are the devil crabs (a Tampa favorite). But by far one of the better Cuban sandwiches around.

    Their beef and cheese are our go-to and you can NOT leave without getting a guava and cream cheese.

    Solid empanada! Came here right when they opened at 11 am, so was first in line and can't comment…read moreon wait times. I opted to get a tampa girl empanada, as it seemed like something different than the norm. The empanada was solid-- it came out piping hot and I really enjoyed the flavors. It's definitely unique and a fun play on a cubano in empanada form. One is a substantial snack, if you wanted a meal I'd suggest 2-3 depending on how hungry you are. My sister also ordered the fries from there which were pretty solid as well! Overall, a good spot to hit up at Armature Works and I'd definitely go back.

    This is a review for future Christina, get the fries from here because the kids like it…read more I know most people go to Empamamas for the empanadas. That's what my sister did. She got an empanada and said that it was pretty good. However, I waited in line just to get fries. This place opens at 11 AM so we walked up at 10:57 and waited for them to open. Once they opened, they gave us buzzers which I thought was interesting since other places now text. It did mean that I ended up just staying close by because I wasn't sure how far the range was. I do appreciate though that they do give you buzzers in case you want to go put in an order at another place. One order of fries is enough for both children, and they both liked it! My children don't like all fries, so this is useful to know that they will eat the fries here. The fries seem to be made fresh, so I did wait a little bit for it. I think this is a great stall at Armature Works.

This bakery…read morehas been here forever and by the amount of people and the amazing food, they will be there for much longer. We got the breakfast sandwich that was amazing, ham and cheese croquet, cinnamon rolls that was huge and the guava and cheese pastry. Very small inside. But everyone just shuffled to make room for each other.

    A while back while visiting Tampa, I had two foodie goals. One of them is to acquire Cuban pastries…read morefrom the 1915 La Segunda Bakery. They have four locations, and we went to the one in the Ybor City Historic District. La Segunda is an institution for Cuban bread and pastries, baking 18K loaves daily and ships nationwide via Goldbelly. Our niece's BF is Cuban, and he said buy anything with guava. In the box (see photo), we bought two each of guava flip (kind of a folded tart or empanada), guava turnover, and guava flip with cream cheese. All of them are delicious! I like the flaky guava turnovers the most even though they didn't survive the transportation across the country in my backpack as well as some of the others. Even though slightly crumbly, still yummy! I also bought butter cookies, sold by the pound. Those are relatively ordinary; I'll skip those in the future. Next time, we are carrying Cuban sandwiches home! I really wish I carried them home. I was having Cuban sandwich withdrawal. This location is older but functional; there isn't seating. Their customers know what they want, and everything moves FAST. If it's your visit (like it was for us), I suggest looking at the menu online to know what to order. The service is friendly, even though I can tell he was a bit exasperated that I didn't just yell out my order and I asked questions. I honestly don't fault him. Busy places have their own pace, and the customers are the ones to keep up. That's perfectly ok.
