Cuban Restaurants near Greater Northdale, FL

“exelente service and delicious food 😋“

“The Minuta fish Cuban sandwich is an absolute standout. My wife had been craving it for ages, and after trying it, I get the hype. The fish was flaky, seasoned to perfection, and every bite was full of bold, authentic flavor. And don’t miss out on their natural juices—they’re refreshing and packed with flavor, a perfect complement to the richness of the sandwich. This place is definitely a must-try for anyone seeking genuine Cuban flavors done right.“

“The food, drinks, and atmosphere was amazing. My husband and I enjoyed our lunch date and we will definitely be back.“

“First time here, i ordered the palomilla steak sandwhich, side of fries, and a mango smoothie. The sandwhich barely had any potato stix’s, sauce or any flavor. The steak was super tough. Fries were decent. Smoothie was delicious. Its was about $20 all together. Idk if ill come back or not“

“We asked Palaus to cater a luncheon to honor our volunteers, what a great success! Everything was so well prepared, and Tony and his team were super helpful and professional with all of our requests. Rave reviews for the roast pork and the seafood paella!! Will definitely be back next time I host a crowd.“

“I may have had one of the best sandwiches of my life here. This food is authentically Cuban and these positive reviews are telling the truth. The ingredients are fresh and the flavors are complex and delicious. I did not have expectations but truly enjoyed. I hope this little food cart gets discovered by a news outlet. The friendly owner deserves a sit down restaurant to share his culinary talent. incredible food. Wish you the best! of luck!“

Our storm team has been well fed and Rudy has been great about giving us a variety and working within our budget. A big thank you from SERVPRO Team George!“

“Stopped in Francis Cafe after getting a haircut at Champions Barber next door. Normally, this restaurant isn't open on Dundays, but because of the hurricane and people without power, they decided to open for the day.

They were extremely nice and courteous. We ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches, a cafe con Leche, and a sunny D.

Awesome little spot to stop in for some Cuban food. We will be back!!

Parking: Easy parking lot and handicap spots available.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right up front with a ramp.“

“Always a fantastic experience! The food NEVER misses, back of house has got this down. Service never misses, either. They’re such a hard working staff and always make sure you have what you need and more.
The Hawaiian Cuban is my go-to every time. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and get some extra Havana Sauce for your fries ;)
Thank you, Cuban Breezes!!“

“You know you are in the right spot, when you walk in the door and all you smell is the seasoned meat. The service was amazing, very welcoming and courteous. We had the Pan con Bistec and the Huevo con papa's. It was delicious! And of course got my espresso shot too. Highly recommend.“

“Best food family. friendly, patio available. karaokee Sundays after 2pm. come sing enjoyed.“

“Jamás había comido en este lugar. Decidí hacerlo hoy Domingo. Y no se de los otros días pero creo que acerté. Tengo que decir que el servicio y la atención fue excelente. Me asistió Miguel que siempre estuvo pendiente a lo que necesitaba. La comida estuvo al punto y sabrosa. Si buscas un lugar para cenar los Domingos este sería una excelente elección. por cierto había Kareoke con excelencia y mucho talento. Love It.“

“Great food ………………………………..“

“This is by far the best local eatery! I eat here almost every day. All the food is outstanding; as I eat healthy, I normally get the steak or chicken with salad and yuca or black beans. Of course a Cuban coffee and just sometimes one of their delicious desserts. I always bring home yuca and salad for dinner. For now, am staying away from carbs and have lost 11 pounds since going here.!! The servers are fantastic and very friendly. The entire restaurant is clean which is a huge thing to me! Highly recommend!!“

“I’m from Tampa. Spent my entire life here. I have made it my buisness to know the little “hole in wall” local places. This is exactly that. I used to come here all the time years ago. It’s been quite some time so when I moved back to this area I was eager to find out if this place survived the pandemic. Thank god it did. The cafe con leche is buttery and creamy. The Cuban toast is crunchy and soft on the inside. The food is awesome and authentic. The service is informal but I don’t mind that at all. The prices I believe are the best part. This isn’t the place that will run you 20$ for a coffee and sandwich. Ive been coming here for years and will continue to for as long as I can. I recommend“

“Front counter is excellent , Barbara and Eunice are great, very attentive and on top o thing . I recommend Leath 100%.. Best Cuban Sandwich in the Tampa Bay Area. And the. Best coffee .. If you are in the mood for the Best Totilla, ask for la Guajira in the Kitchen. The best

Parking: Lunchtime is kind of tie because the customer are all over, food is great“

“Really hate to see the place go. Great food and Great people.“

“Found this place while looking for a spot to grab food for lunch on my lunch break. I was not disappointed, the food was great and tasted freshly made and had a nice selection of drinks to go along with lunch. I recommend this establishment!“

“Clean and prompt attention on an early morning running errands and needing a quick picker upper before hitting the road again.The place was clean and cozy; the service very cordial. My Cuban coffee was on point, and my medianoche sandwich quite tasty. Will return ??“

“Best churros in town! Super cheap. And they have other food. Good snacks, especially for the price. Most of the people leaving under 5 stars are just mad that churroman doesnt take card - just bring cash. They dont take $50/$100 bills cuz of counterfit risk, many places are like this - get over it.“

“10 AM spaghetti craving... thank goodness for this restaurant. Spaghetti was delicious!“

“los pastelitos más rico de tampa“

“The flavor of her food is the way Cuban food was meant to be. My family used her to cater our reunion and the food was amazing. Thank you.“

“I am Cuban, I have been living here in Tampa for more than 25 years. I have tried Cuban sandwiches in different places and the Cuban sandwich at this place is EXCELLENT. I RECOMMEND IT. Just as the roast pork is delicious, the coffee with milk is also excellent. The prices are consistent. with the food. The treatment is familiar and pleasant, you don't have to wait to be served. You can call to place your order and you just have to pick it up. I RECOMMEND IT, VERY GOOD SERVICE AND GOOD PRICES AND ATTENTION.“

“Best Cuban food outside of Miami. Great menu choices. I had the chicken ala parilla with tostones. It was delicious. Server was friendly and very professional. Went for lunch at about 2 pm after visiting the Tampa Zoo, which is not too far away. We were seated right away. Plenty of parking. You have a choice to sit cafeteria/stool style on the one side of the building or a sit-down table on the other. Highly recommended, very reasonably priced.“

“Great pizza a la cubano. Just like what you’ll find in Miami. But it’s better because it’s closer.“

“Man we've had the privilege of catching up with these guys 2x now and they do. ot disappoint. Recently saw them again down in Ybor at the Cuban sandwich festival. Disappointed they did have the frita on the menu that day but got to have our favorite again the Miami chopped cheese, I honestly could eat this sandwich everyday it's that good and so full of flavor. The best guys running it too they love hearing and seeing repeat customers. If you see this truck close to you do not hesitate trying them their food is top notch !!!“

“The night we went there was a wedding reception in the garden.... looked absolutely beautiful for them, but for those of us here to enjoy a quiet evening out, it was loud, especially as they were moved to the banquet room. The food and drinks were delish. They charge for bread and it seemed like yesterday's batch. The esthetic was 9/10, bathrooms were clean.“

“This place is Great!! From the Food to the Pricing and right back to the Owner and employees!! Been going here a min of twice a week. Got most of my fellow workers hooked on Papis Cafe. They close at 3pm and only open from Monday through Friday. Breakfast Lunch and buy you a dinner plate to take home. My name is Willie and I definitely approve this Message!!“

“Just a small joint with some REAL AUTHENTIC Cuban food. Everything was delicious! I would eat there again and again! Family run business that needs to be supported by the community. Several dishes to choose from. Cuban coffee was perfect.“

“Great friendly service, great prices, highly recommended the specialty pizza. Definitely will be back again!!“

“Great subs and even better staff. The wide and unique selection of beverages is quite refreshing too and not the normal 4 or 5 you get every where else. Definitely worth checking out this very laid back casual sub shop“

“Deliciosa Trucha me pude deleitar , perfecta“

“Sadly I didn’t get any pics but it is kind of tucked out of the way the ladies were very friendly and the food was bomb!!!Family of 4 shared one large Cuban sandwich tried it with mayo lettuce and tomato… rather just get pickle and mustard next time, and a meal of chicken, rice and black beans which comes with onions tomato and lettuce and a piece of bread.So good!!!“

“Had probably what I would say is the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my life. The gentleman was very upbeat and positive and professional as well. I enjoy local businesses such as this one. I will most certainly be coming back.“

“very good and affordable sandwiches as well as lunch!“

“I want to grab coffee and Cuban bread for breakfast. I'm never in that area but thought I'd check it out as I was passing through. Walking in, it felt like a cozy Cafe that I'd probably go to with my friends for coffee. The weight staff was very pleasant and quickly took my order to go. The coffee was a little weaker than the other Caribbean places I have visited. However, the Cuban bread was tasty and perfectly buttered. Overall I'd go back again.“

“Authentic Latin, Caribbean food in a casual atmosphere where you can expect quality dining .“

“La comida es deliciosa. Me encanta el bowl de arroz con pollo a la plancha, y los tostones son riquísimos.“

“Yummy Cuban cuisines that never disappoint!“

“The food here is just simply amazing. everything is well. seasoned great portions and you won't be disappointed. Their empanadas are literally the best I've ever had. If you're in the mood for some good Spanish food or just a great breakfast, this is this place.“

“Excellent food, the truth is that the seasoning is unique to Ms. Cary, who despite being very quiet, has a special treatment apart from Mr. Pedro, who with his charisma and contagious joy makes you come in for a delicious meal and leave with an additional smile.!!! ? I recommend them 100%.!!!!!“

“Great taste,tostadita en los bordes y suave en el cuerpo.La recomiendo.“
