I was raised off of this type of cuisine, so when I tell you that this is the ABSOLUTELY BEST! Filipino food I have ever had the pleasure of placing in my mouth, I am serious as a heart attack.

The mixed grill was a highlight, featuring a variety of meats that were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Turkish coffee was rich and robust, providing a delightful boost with its authentic flavor. To complement the meal, the lemon mint drinks were refreshingly crisp, striking a perfect balance with the spicy grill.

“Moxie's Too is a breakfast/ lunch place that happily overwhelmed me with lunch sandwich choices. I ordered The Boss, a 12" hot sandwich made with Corned Beef, Pastrami, Thousand Island Dressing with Cole Slaw on it. Very tasty.The atmosphere was "lunchtime busy" but not annoyingly so.I will return to Moxie's Too again and recommend it for good sandwiches.“

“This is one of the best kept secrets in Downtown Tampa. Maybe even all of the Tampa area. I had the ribs this weekend, and my goodness, they were great. The seafood pasta was also great. The shrimp lasted till the end. Give them a try.“

“BEST chicken salad sandwich in town!! My lunch staple 3 out of 5 days. Caren and her team are incredible.“

“As a traveling food reviewer since 2020 I like to try the smaller places not franchised. This spot while a little tucked away is definitely the vibe you're looking for if you want good food and guest service without the tack of a franchise and you don't have to break your wallet. I had the chicken quesadilla with a special custom order to where I had all the ingredients of the quesadilla make inside *yes sour cream and guac included* and it was absolutely fantastic. Cooks Dorothy and Denise really have a passion for what they do as does the rest of the staff and the owner Elaine is a great personality and runs a tight well functioning establishment. Definitely worth trying“

“Excellent place for a quick bite off the bus station“

“Best energy and protein drink place in Tampa! Highly recommend the Blueberry Acai refresher and the peanut butter protein shake.“
