Cuban Restaurants in Tampa, FL

“Cuban sammich was so juicy and flavorful! I had coquito flan so good I wanted to lick the container! Highly recommend 👌 👍 👏“

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

“Good portions, good food, great service!“

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

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Awesome place l visited for the first time, l loved the excellent and warm services, and how delicious and abundant their cuban sandwiches are. And the empanadas? Can't have just one.
Lunchtime is the best time, as the ambiance is very folkloric and representative of ancient Cuba.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Great fast service and delcious empanadas!“

“I’m in Tampa for work and have already eaten here two days in a row! The food is amazing, but the employees are what make this place special. They make a point of learning people’s names and making everyone feel welcome. It feels like you’re eating with family, even when you’re visiting from out of town.

It’s such a welcoming spot to take a break from a busy day at the courthouse and enjoy some delicious Cuban food. Come for the food, come back for the people. I certainly did!“

“good service good breakfast“

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

“The online special showed 1 meat and 2 sides for $6.99. I got 1 meat and 1 side and it was $13 with a tip so either I ordered wrong or something. AC was down but they had a big machine attempting to pump cool air into a wide open entry door. I'll definitely come back and try again. Large portion for the price despite the over charge, I wasn't mad at it at all.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A group of us went to celebrate a couple of birthdays. Our reserved table was in the atrium part of the restaurant, which was gorgeous. Our service got off to a great start with Mal (?), and then we were greeted by food and bev manager Deshaun, who was our friendly and attentive server for the day. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered- the portions were a lot bigger than I anticipated, too! The presentation and service was consistent and wonderful. An all around great choice for brunch! Shout-out to Christian and fellow employees! Y'all created a fantastic dining experience for our entire group! Thank you!“

“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 🙏🏻“

“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!!!!!“

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

“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😁“

“Mr. Special is one of those spots neighborhoods run on. You come in and are greeted with of the most positive energy you'll ever get from any human on this planet. You know everyone there genuinely wants to give you not just food but an experience that you'll love, and they never fail to deliver.

They make the absolute best cuban-style pressed sandwiches you'll find anywhere, especially the breakfast ones. Reliably delicious, with all the fixings you'll like and strong sweet cafe con leche to match.

This is always a spot I have to visit within my first day back to appreciate what Tampa is. It's a taste of home and community that you just have to experience. Do yourself a favor if you're reading this and go here immediately.“

“Be sure to fill up on the best Caldo Gallegos in town. Freshly made Cuban sandwiches are stacked high. Pressed breaded palomilla steak sandwiches made while you wait. Loads of fresh pernil, arroz con pollo, and tilapia entrees for lunch. Tasty breakfast sandwiches keep the line moving all morning.
Parking lot will fill up at lunch hour as locals know“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Absolutely the BEST churros in Tampa! 🤤🔥 Churroman never disappoints — fresh, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly sweet. You can tell they’re made fresh and with care every single time. If you’re craving authentic, delicious churros, this is definitely the spot to go. 10/10 recommend! ❤️“

“Deliciosa Trucha me pude deleitar , perfecta“

“Kind staff, wonderful food“

“so it's a mixed review. we went to Celebrate a friend's Birthday. the package fee is ridiculous and not worth the price tag. is it fun yes but short and a bit unorganized and no where near $180. the food is good but priced on the higher side and limited menu so definitely check it out before going. drinks are same, overly priced for the location. its attached to the Quality Inn and a older space they are trying to pass as a high end south beach bar/club. our waitress was low energy and not very attentive although the place was not very busy when we went. the music is fun but way too loud for a restaurant environment.“

“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.“
