Sandwich ordering area
Romeo D.

I absolutely love coming to Sal's. Their sandwiches are so good. But even more the service is amazing! I really enjoy the Cuban Sandwich! And their fries are fantastic and crisp. The empanadas are also great. Go check it out.

My Italian

Sal's Bodega Charcuterie, located in southwest Tampa off of Interbay makes great sandwiches with authentic Cuban sides. They also offer special hot meals that vary weekly. It's a small clean place, but they have a decent parking lot in the back. There have a small selection of groceries-more impulse than necessities-along with desserts and bottled drinks. I stopped off for lunch on a Friday afternoon, and though it was busy, ordered from the counter and received my food promptly. There were probably a dozen customers while I was there and everyone was patient as there is only one grill and prep area. Despite that, Sal kept the line moving and he and his helper got the food out pretty quickly. My Italian sub compared well to most any sandwich shop in the bay. For around $10 and 20 minutes, Sal's hits the lunch time sweet spot. Give them a try if you're in south Tampa and want a nice break from chains.

Roast beef deluxe

Hands down, one of the best Cubans in town! I can't say enough good things about this place. Staff treats you like family, wide variety of food, perfect atmosphere to enjoy lunch or a coffee.

Cuban with lettuce and tomato. Amazing
Dylan R.

This is a small convenient store that serves some amazing food. The staff is super friendly and Sal the owner is usually there. This is definitely on of the best Cuban and roast pork sandwiches in Tampa Bay.

Sandwich bar

Awesome new local Port of Tampa shop with snacks, great handmade sandwiches and local desserts. Only if there was a brewery.

Menu as of 8/29

His empanadas are unreal! Everything is so delicious, I believe he might have the best Cuban sandwich in town!

Cuban sandwich, Malta, champagne kola

Forget anything you new about any Cuban sandwich you have had before. SALS HAS THE BEST CUBAN SANDWICH!!! I have been in Tampa my entire life. I was raised all up and down Armenia and if you know anything about Armenia you know there is a ton of different culture foods from the Caribbean and South America. This place is a hidden gem so not hesitate to give them your money. Everyone there is super friendly and Sal is great. Moving to South Tampa I was on the search for a Hispanic super market and even though I didn't find one that sells culantro I did stumble upon this amazing deli/bodega. For those of you who are looking for validation from someone who knows flavor this is the message of validation right here. Side note- My mother makes the best pastelillos (Puerto Rican empanadas) therefore thats the last thing I order out because I have had the best ones at home. Sals is the only place myself and my mom will ever purchase empanadas.

Despite the small strip center location, it is immaculately clean inside the restaurant as well as in the kitchen. Such a welcoming experience! I ordered the Pork Drizzle sandwich. Homemade beef & cheese empanadas were special menu items for the day...so I ordered two of them as well. This is the best sandwich I've eaten in Tampa...as well as the best empanadas I've had since living here! Do yourself a favor and get to Gonzo's as soon as you can. It will immediately land in your top 1-2 sandwich shops in the entire city. Call ahead to make sure they're open just to be safe. Thank me later...

Stumbled upon this gem by accident while visiting Tampa. Was there on a Saturday and it was quiet…read more Only two other patrons. Vibe was very laid back and comforting. We asked the cashier for recommendations and he mentioned the Pork Drizzler and Billy Cheesesteak. We ordered those and a side of fries. I asked for mushrooms on the side for the cheesesteak. Portions are generous so we decided to split both sandwiches. Our favorite was the Billy. The Drizzler was juicy and tasty but the Billy hit it out of the park. The fries were thick and salted just right. I will add that the service here was exceptional. Will definitely be back next time in Tampa!

A cute hidden gem for British food near the Bay! There's a lot of British decor and hand touch…read moredetails to make the spot feel cozy and inviting. They even have a little marketplace, where you can grab British snacks and candies as well as to-go meals for at home. I ended up ordering the Coronation Chicken Salad with potato salad. The chicken was tender, creamy, and had a little bit of spices akin to curry spices without the heat. They also added lil pieces of dried citrus slices on top to add a bit of sweetness. The salad ingredients were well paired together; I had the creamy garlic dijon dressing atop a bed of greens, sunflower seeds, tomatoes, and what I believe to be dried cranberries. The potatoes for the potato salad were tender and well-seasoned. I was actually surprised with the portion size! For the price of the meal, I think the portions were worth it! Also, although it's not explicitly stated, they also have scones with clotted cream and your choice of jam. The scones are fluffy and dense (but it doesn't feel heavy on your stomach after you eat them) and pair nicely with the airy cream and flavorful jam. Definitely an item to order in addition to your meal. I also had a bite of my friends' sticky toffee pudding. The sponge and sugar are dense and rich in taste, with the cream adding a great touch to make the sponge fluffy and provide a layered tasting experience.

I came here with a group of friends on a Sunday, we were worried that there wasn't any parking but…read morethere happen to be plenty of parking available. This place is located near Gandy and Bayshore Boulevard. the food is very good. I was surprised at the plating because I wasn't expecting so much salad and portions. The scones were beyond delightful. I would definitely go back for the scones because the cream and the jam that it comes with pairs exceptionally well.

Interbay Meat Market is your "super bodega" of South Tampa (Gandy and everything south of that -…read moresorry folks, I'm just stating the facts ;)). I had the pleasure of coming here twice - once for lunch and another time to buy actual meat. The initial take of the Meat Market lends itself to some hesitation and doubt. A fast glance may trick one into thinking that the store is part of the Circle K gas station itself - it is not, so don't worry about getting any gas station "specials." As you walk into Interbay Meat Market, you will find yourself immersed in truly a large-sized bodega with open-faced fridges, packed with drinks, lined against the outer walls. In between everything else are your groceries and other common pantry items. Almost at the center is a cantina/canteen, where you can pick out your own lunch from an assortment of available freshly cooked foods. The food you find here would be comparable to Caribbean twist or any other Latin-cafeteria style eatery. The servings are generous for a decent price. If you're coming here for lunch, there are outdoor picnic tables so you don't have to bring the heaping trays back into work if you don't want to. Next to the cantina is the fresh meats section. The cuts of meat here all look great and freshly stocked. They are neatly stacked and organized giving it overall appeal. I came here for steak and was happy with the various cuts they offered (porterhouse, NY strip, ribeye, Delmonico being the commonly recognized ones). In speaking with the clerk, each cut was sized for about a pound - which makes it easy when you're gauging the price. The porterhouse and Delmonico's that I bought immediately went on the smoker and grill, and they were a hit with the party. As you can imagine, you can purchase alcohol as well as tobacco products (behind the cashiers) here if that's your thing making Interbay Meat Market a one-stop shop!

We were in the area and asked some friends what they suggest for lunch. We knew as soon as we saw…read morethat suggestion that our search was over! I used to work near by and i visited a long time ago so I was excited to go back! I ordered a Cuban Sammy and my husband got the ribs lunch platter which came with three big pieces of ribs, two sides (he got rice and black beans) and a piece of bread. We also ordered cafe con leches bc it's a must!!! We were so hungry we literally sat in the car and ate in the parking lot. My Sammy was a little on the thin side but very much appreciated especially since we ate in the car. Everything stayed together nicely & the Cuban itself tasted amazing! My husband enjoyed his platter & our cafe con leches hit the spot especially after such a hearty lunch.

THE BEST DELI SANDWICH I'VE HAD IN SUCH A LONG TIME! Reminiscent of NJ/NYC deli sandwiches back in…read morethe 2000s / early 2010s. Got the roast beef club on cuban bread, added mayo and pickles, and it was toasted to perfection. The roast beef was so rare and tender, the bacon was one of the best bacons I've ever had (insanely crispy but not oily, and maintained it's crispiness the entire meal even though I'm such a slow eater). The tomatoes and lettuce were firm--didn't squeeze out of the sandwich or make a mess. And I'm usually not a fan of pickles but it was so fresh and added a flavor to break up the meat + bread taste! The service was phenomenal. It's a family-owned restaurant and everyone is so nice. The guy who took my order was so patient and helpful (I was having major decision paralysis). The vibe is clean, spacious, cute, and super homey / themed. It's also part grocery with German bevs, snacks, and dried goods (and also fresh goods behind the counter and on the menu ofc). I def want to go back and pick up some goods to bring home to my family and I will def be back again for lunch!!!

Kind of a bizarre place. Is it a gas station? Is it a convenient store? Is it a restaurant?…read more What in the world is going on inside? You walk in and it's like a transformed gas station into kind of a deli, kind of a convenience store, and kind of a restaurant. Super duper weird. The menu has a ton of stuff on it. I was feeling like getting some food from my people so thought I'd try this German spot. Up first was the #3 Reuben for $13.95. I love me a good Reuben. However, this is not the place to get a Reuben. Super thin, barely any meat or flavor. It is mostly eating bread. Avoid. Up next, I can't remember what the other sandwich was, but it was bad. I think it was a Cuban, but not sure. It was straight bread. Take a look at the pic. Now, the only above average food item I tried was the German potato salad. I would come back here only for that. Tons of German beers here and souvenirs.
