The scrambled egg burrito with a slice of avocado or slices, is super delicious! Overall very good place. Enjoy!

Never in my whole life have I ever had coffee so good in my life every single time I order from there it’s hitting like it’s fire. I cannot make this up. Their Cuban toast is real Cuban toast, their burrito wraps, the salsa everything..I haven’t even tried the whole menu and oh my gosh when I tell you like everything is so good it’s just really that good and I never had coffee like that in my life like I’m already addicted to caffeine but like I just don’t anymore…I just might have to order coffee from them every single day now because Starbucks Dunkin’ Donuts any of these other places like they just cannot compare. They just can’t compare. It’s just there’s no comparison like I almost cried tears of joy because the coffee was good.
And if the owner or a worker is seeing this, please remember my name because I will be ordering coffee again and you have to make it the same way I mean, I don’t think I have to ask because the other two times I ordered it was so good. It’s just way too good… And don’t get me wrong the food and everything is great. The Cuban toast is my favorite, but I just can’t understand like why the coffee was like so good is it legal like I’m not understanding.
Also, I know this review is long, but might I just add that I ordered through DoorDash so it had to be picked up and I feel like the Dasher took forever to get there but that’s besides the point the point is is that the coffee had ice in it and it was not watered down and it was perfect It was just perfect and so is the customer service I spoke to a really nice girl she was so sweet. Well done!!!

I’ve been coming here for years now and hands down my fave place waiters are attentive and sweet.
We’ve never ordered from here but heard good reviews. I SHOULD HAVE JUST WENT TO DUNKIN Bc their microwaved food was better.
We ordered breakfast sandwiches, and they sent us the wrong order like not even close to what we ordered. So we reordered and it was still wrong. After waiting over an 1h for the meal we were so annoyed we just said fine we’ll eat these hot overpriced breakfast sandwiches and they were COLD and flavorless I just threw the whole thing away. I rarely leave reviews but this whole experience got me so mad I just had too.
Ps we paid for extra cheese and sauce and in the photo is what they gave us.

Amazingly yummy food with friendly staff and a comfortable and cultured experience. The Cafe con Leche is amazing, and you have to try the Torrejas, absolutely amazing! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!

Ordered takeout Arroz con pollo and it was all rice. Barely any chicken.
I used to order or eat at the carrollwood location, but today I ordered a Spinach Salad, and when I received my order it was missing the bacon. Called in to resolve and they informed me that the salad doesn't come with the bacon, which you can see clearly on the menu it comes with bacon. I spoke with the manager Melissa, who didn't care that the salad was missing an ingredient and since I have received the salad it was good enough, because they are 2 minutes from closing. So, thank you but no thank you. This could be solved , but I guess they dont care.
Excellent spot!

I’ve been coaching kids nearly 15 years. One of the requirements throughout all those years was to maintain CPR certification. In the CPR classes, they also taught the Heimlich maneuver. In those 15 years, I’ve never had to use the Heimlich maneuver. That is, until today after ordering your steak sandwich. My wife and I each ordered one. We picked them up and brought them home. I ate mine right away and while the flavor was terrific, I certainly did notice the steak was tough and almost rubbery. I hadn’t eaten in about 36 hours (had to fast for a medical procedure), so I wasn’t too worried about texture, I was just happy to eat. My wife, on the other hand, ate her sandwich a few minutes after I finished mine. She took one bite of that steak and began choking. We’ve been together over 10 years and have eaten all kinds of food, mostly meat and Italian dishes, and she’s never once choked. This was the first time I had to use the Heimlich maneuver. She’s fine but will definitely never eat your steak sandwich again. That was a very scary situation. I’m a 5th gen born/raised West Tampan, so I’ve had some good cuban sandwiches and the occasional steak sandwich. Your cuban is ok, but I think your steak sandwich has more potential. Please work on that steak. Thanks.
