    Cuban Sandwich

    The quality of my Cuban sandwich was not good at all. When I ask about why did the sandwich barely had any meat they act like they didn't know what I was saying. The place was clean tho...

    This little cafe is a gem, tucked away in a sea of office buildings. Look for it look for it....there it is!!! Don't judge this place by the hidden location, it's great. The food menu was just right. It's filled with breakfast and lunch items such as bagels, French toast, breakfast sandwiches, burgers, club sandwiches, cubans, soups....etc. The pricing was throwback at least a decade. Lunch sandwiches with chips ranging from $4.95-$6.25 including chips. I had the presses Cuban and it was great! The staff is nice and the place was clean. Wait time was 7 minutes for a pressed Cuban during lunch hour on a Friday!!!! That's fast folks. I'll be back!!! VIBE- 3.5 TASTE- 4.5 VALUE- 4.5 SERVICE- 4.25 WAIT TIME- 4.5 CLEANLINESS- 4 RETURNABILITY- 4.5 Overall score- 4.25

    Had a hot pressed Cuban sandwich for lunch there and it was delicious. Everything there is fresh and the do a great job keeping the place clean and orderly. That means a lot to me. Joe the owner is a very nice guy and very easy to talk to. Stop in for lunch and check them out you'll see!

    Grits and bacon were delicious.

    Grits and bacon for breakfast today. The staff is always friendly. There was no wait. Sometimes at lunch it gets very busy but they are still very quick to get you in and out.

It's been a while since I have been here and now the menu has some new items. I had a breakfast bowl where there were more options than most places offer. Everything was cooked to my liking and same with my co-diners. Good sized portions, and all your barista favorites available. Service may have been a little slow, but they were quite busy. I don't think El Jefe will remain a hidden gem for long.

    Cuban cravings = satisfied!…read more If your taste buds are shouting for a Cuban sandwich, then El Jefe in Tampa has you covered. We visited during the Saturday lunch rush, and despite the crowd, we were seated, fed, and happily full in under an hour. The staff was in hustle mode taking orders, checking customers out, and despite all that, I still overheard our server greeting & hugging regulars by name just like in "Cheers," but with way better sandwiches. Our picks: the Cuban sandwich which had all the flavors you expect from the classic sandwich and picadillo with rice and beans (AKA my kinda comfort food). The restaurant is casual and cozy with a mix of booths and tables; we lucked out snagging a few of the last seats right before it was a full house. Parking is a breeze as it's located in the same strip mall as Planet Fitness and Global Golf (so you can justify that extra bite of picadillo), Whether you're grabbing it to-go or hanging out to dine in, El Jefe will satisfy your craving for Cuban food.

The café sits in an office park overlooking a small pond, and the setting is surprisingly peaceful. You order at the counter and the staff brings your meal right to your table, with outdoor seating available if you want to enjoy the view. The kitchen is semi‑open, so you can see the team preparing food, and it's obvious they take pride in what they do. Prices are very reasonable, and the quality makes every penny worth it. The staff was beyond friendly -- one young lady was cleaning tables and sweeping nonstop to keep the place spotless, even while the café was busy. I ordered my meal to go and still only waited about ten minutes. Between the excellent food, the warm service, and the inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend trying The Cracked Pepper Café. The only thing I regret is not taking a picture of my beautiful sandwich to share.

Many times I peruse an area looking for food spots and find…read morenew places and other times I look at an area dozens of times and google seems to hide some good spots from view. The Cracked Pepper Cafe is one where googled failed miserably. Established for many years, close to home, and a highly rated sandwich shop which has been hidden from my google view for years. Tsk. Tsk. I spotted the place due to a sidewalk sign once I was in an office park on another errand. Lo and behold, a promising sandwhich menu, a breakfast menu and a cozy little place with indoor and outdoor seating. Good vibes, a nice lakefront ambiance and New York flair. Plenty of parking, a short walk to the backside of the office building which are a few long one story structures if memory serves. I ordered to go, the Gabagool, an italian sammie and a Cuban with lettuce and tomato to try their wares. I also ordered an omelet, the Tombstone, for the wife. Now, for me, when an italian has mortadella and capicola (gabagool) in it, you are my kinda soulmate. All the right stuff and packed skyscraper high. All the fixins that come with it do not fit in the "sandwheech". Spoon them into your mouth as you eat or save for after. I was suspicious of the dressing because instead of italian it was roasted red pepper sauce, I got it on the side just in case. Loved the Gabagool, excellent flavor profile, meaty and a nice blend of textures. The sauce had me on the fence at first but found myself more attracted to it as I ate. The cuban for me was nothing special, the same issue I encounter most places. I prefer sliced pork to pork chunks. Pork chunks ruins the balance of ingredients for me, I feel like I am eating a pork sandwich dressed like a cuban. That's my take on it and there are thousands who would disagree. I just grew up with cuban sandwich perfection (hand sliced meats off a ham leg and pork leg) throughout my childhood. The omelet was excellent. It's now the wife's favorite place to get "Stuffed Eggs" as they call it. This place will be added to the rotation, likely twice a month at least. The one disappointment is I can not convince them to add Vickie's Jalapeño Chips. The carry the Vickies brand but not the top selling flavor, by far, I looked it up. Not sure what the issue is but my sandwiches are consumed sans chips. I guess that is their perogative. Ergo, I go chipless. But don't let that stop you, the food here is great! Come get ya some!
