Cuban Restaurants near Greater Northdale, FL

“exelente service and delicious food 😋“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“This restaurant is excellent. They are very attentive the second you walk in the door. The food comes out quickly and tastes great. The Havana sauce is special, make sure to order some to dip your cuban sandwich or put some in a side of yellow rice.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!“

“??? 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.“

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

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“This place looks like a little dive when you drive by, it is. Like the good kind. The menu is simple but is made to order by two ladies who you would want as a grandmother and a sister.. There are also some premade foods which looked pretty good. The food is real “homemade”. It appears to be geared toward working folk (me) and I loved it.“

“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 🙏🏻“

“Service was non existent if because they had no wait staff. Only a bar tender. There was a small event in the back corner but that was not the issue. They just didn't have a waitress or waiter for anything but the pool areas which we were not patronizing.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“First time. Got a beef empanada, a tequeno, and a beef stuffed fried yuca. Also some cilantro sauce (extra $ but worth it). Total under 11 dollars. The empanada was bigger than im used too and was nice and flaky. Pretty good all around. If im back in the area I will try again.“

“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.“

“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! ☕🍗⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

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

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

“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“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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“

“If you like learning about different cultures and food this is your place. We came to enjoy “Tabla”heart shaped wooden board, with different kind of meats and traditional sides ours was for three people. The environment is relaxed, clean, and joyful. The food tastes and looks amazing, I loved the presentation of “ La Tabla” 😍😍“

“First time eating there. My pastor recommended the place and he was right. The food is “blessed”! I had roasted pork and it was very good. My wife had the pressed Cuban sandwich; I had a bite. Maybe the best ever, including those in Ybor City. You must try this place.“
