“Good portions, good food, great service!“

“If I could eat here every day I absolutely would!!!!!“

“The best cuban food in Tampa. Love it!!“

“The food wasn't just good it was authentic. I was born and raised in Tampa and I know there are some dishes that you can only get when you're invited into our homes. It isn't something you can experience anywhere else accept in the home of a Tampa native. Their menu includes one of those dishes. Everything we ordered made my wife want to move from Maryland to Tampa. The cerviche with fresh tuna was the surprise standout on the appetizer menu. We simply weren't ready for what they had coming out of that kitchen. The customer service and the food makes this the highlight of our visit back home.“

“This is the best Cuban Chinese Rice I have had. It tastes just like my Mima used to make.“

“Great place for Latin food, customer service is the best, great atmosphere , friendly. Been going there for years !!“

“Thank you so much to Rudy, Karen and the crew at Havana Dreamers! They have been feeding our crew of up to 90 disaster restoration workers per day for the past month. 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!“

“Great fast service and delcious empanadas!“

“Las mentes pizzas de tampa Bay y donas aledañas, después que pruebe me deja saber. Los mejores si duda.“

“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 could tell from the aroma when we walked in this was going to be good! My only complaint was the coconut is not cooked into the flan it is dried and sprinkled all over the flan. Coconut was too dry but the flan was delicious like the lechon, Maduro and black beans. I would have gone back the next day but they were closed.“

“Tried the pan con bistec and it was really good — super tender and full of flavor. You can tell it was made with care. The owner was really nice and got my food out fast, which I appreciated. Great service and great food. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We have been to this restaurant 2 times in Yabor, five times in Celebration Fla. it is awesome. Food is some of the best we have ever had. Service and the friendliness of all the staff impeccable. The Yabor location is celebrating over 100 years. It is a beautiful and authentic building. I would give this restaurant the highest recommendation. Why it doesn't have Michelin Star escapes me. Don't think twice it is worth the visit!!!!!“

“Excellent and authentic Cuban food! The people there are always nice and they treated me very kindly, even when I came right before they were closing. They made me an excellent Cuban sandwich and I'll be coming back more for their food.“

“??? I’ve been eating here 2-3 times a week for 4 months, and it's always amazing. Then, I noticed they only has 9 reviews which is crazy for how flavorful this place is. Everything is flavorful without being overpowering. This is a father/son operation, and they’re awesome guys. Today, I went plain Jane and had the quarter chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans, but their authentic Cuban is fresh and delicious. Especially their sandwiches. I usually go authentic with arroz amarillo con frijoles negros (yellow rice with black beans). All lunches come with a piece of Cuban bread. Their breakfast is great, too. The eggs are fresh and cooked to order. The build-your-own omelette is a phenomenal way to start the day. They also do catering. If you’re just northwest of the Buccaneers stadium near the Lois & MLK area, take a stop at this little food truck, and be very pleasantly surprised. I’ll post more so that word gets out about this hidden gem. This lunch was $10.74 with tax. I am not compensated in any way, but I am a chef having previously worked in a Michelin Star restaurant, and a Food Safety Instructor/Proctor. I know how hard it can be to not get the proper exposure.“

“The food at this place was excellent ! Freshly cooked and the smoothies were extremely good. You have more than enough choices to fit your needs. Stop by Caribbean Twist you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“I just got off the plane from Tennessee and haven't been back home for a few years. I drove straight to Pipos for lunch and it was so good as always!!“

“Cooked to perfect food. Staff is very friendly and you can tell knows what they are doing in the kitchen. Very quant and quiyplace to enjoy breakfast or lunch at a excellent price. Real deal home cooking. And the home made hot sauce is at its peak of spicy so good. And you'll only need a little for the food. Above all will be eating here again when I'm in the area.“

“Muy buen servicio y delicioso los sanwhiches“

“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 ??“

“Looking for a good cafè con leche and a Cuban toast yesterday I went to the wrong place, what a disaster! Today I found Conga's cafe, what a little gem. My cafè con leche was like I like it, hot and fresh, and the Cuban toast! My husband had scramble eggs with sausage and pancakes and he was pleased, very good portion. Reasonably prices, great customer service, Maribel is excellent. I definitely will go back! I can't wait to try other food items from their menu! Great Job Conga's cafe! 👏 👍🏻😍 God bless you 🙏🏻“

“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.“

“Flor Fina was the perfect setting for a beautiful Sunday brunch celebrating my sister in law’s birthday.

The restaurant itself is stunning, chic and sophisticated, with the effortless feel of an alfresco lounge while still being beautifully tucked indoors. The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire experience felt warm, welcoming, and elevated.

Our server, Danielle, and her assistant, Mal, were wonderful, attentive and always making sure we had everything we needed. The team went above and beyond to make the birthday celebration feel special.

A particular standout was Michael, the host, who truly made the experience exceptional. He seated us at a beautiful table with plenty of room for the baby, checked on us throughout our meal, and was genuinely warm and accommodating from beginning to end. His hospitality was such a lovely reflection of the level of care Flor Fina provides.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and will absolutely be back. Flor Fina is a beautiful spot for a special occasion or simply an elevated brunch with great food and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“Buen servicio y buena comida!“

“Hoy pedí un arroz frito y una frita sin palabras especial !!! Con todo lo que lleva 😍“

“The mojo pork and the ropa vieja sandwich are so good ! 😊 coming back with the family very soon .“

“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.“

“Deliciosa Trucha me pude deleitar , perfecta“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The man and woman that takes care of that place and communicates with you are very friendly, And family oriented in a grandma and grandpa kind of way Food is fast compared to similar eateries like it loved every bit about this place If you are in the HCC Del Mabry area, definitely stopped by“

“I love love love Leah’s! I brought my boyfriend here after talking about it for weeks. He didn’t seem as enthusiastic as I was to go despite my promise that he would thank me as soon as he got the food in his mouth. I’d like to report that I got the reaction I’d hoped for and he absolutely loved it too! His work will be ordering for lunch on occasion and I will never have to convince him to bring it home for dinner😁“

“Great food and fresh drinks. Great atmosphere and services.“

“A small authentic place, the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Never reall croweded, its honestly a hidden gem. If you live near it or even have to drive a few mins it'll be worth it. Only critique are the business hours. More often then not when we crave it, it turns out to be closed. So we take advantage anytime we are near and see that its open.“

“😋GREAT SUBS & SUCH. I've been going there for 40+ years and just love their good food, service and pricing.“

“The BEST churros in the area ever!!! I would give this lady a million stars if I could, she was very nice and quick with the service. Drove by many times and finally decided to give it a try and I was NOT disappointed! Hot and fresh churros every time, love it with Nutella dipping. The Cuban is to die for!!!! There is a combo that comes with a Cuban and 6 churros for 5.25 unbelievable!!! You can get stuffed churros, empanadas, and a few other savory options! Unbeatable prices and service, so delicious! Love churroWOMEN!!!“

“Kind staff, wonderful food“

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

“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.“

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

“Literally been visiting this restaurant since I was a senior in high school in 2008, it was my “last meal” before shipping off to the army after being processed at the MEPS across the street, it was my go to lunch on my moms lunch breaks lol my in laws love it here too, I’m sure they know the owners. Amazing food, friendly staff always, homey atmosphere… I live in ATL now and every time in Tampa I still come to Cary y Pedro’s 💕 best Cuban restaurant in town hands down“

“Yummy Cuban cuisines that never disappoint!“

“Abella’s is a hidden gem! The chicken wings were absolutely delicious; crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The grits were just as impressive: creamy, perfectly seasoned, and the perfect complement to the wings. And the coffee? Easily some of the best I’ve had in Tampa—fresh, rich, smooth, and the perfect way to finish the meal.

The food came out hot and fresh, the portions were generous, and the staff made me feel right at home. You can tell this family-run restaurant takes pride in serving authentic, quality food. If you’re looking for great Cuban comfort food, amazing chicken wings and grits, and incredible coffee, Abella’s is definitely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back! ☕🍗⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Me and my family came to visit and randomly found this Cuban restaurant. It’s a family owned business with friendly service and great tasting food! Betty is incredibly friendly and works to accommodate you, your food request and needs as long as you’re happy, she’s happy! Whenever we visit again we will be sure to visit again!“
