Spanish Restaurants in Tampa, FL

“Took my wife the Ybor location. Glad I made reservations. It was busy but service was not slow. We had Ana as a server and she was wonderful. I had the Palomilla steak and my wife had Pollo Manchego and the 1905 salad. Everything was perfect“

“Was there on yesterday for brunch to celebrate my big sis' birthday & everything was absolutely EXCELLENT!! From our OUTSTANDING waitress Emily, on down to our food and drinks...all "TOP NOTCH"!! I highly recommend this spot & I give it 10 stars!!“

“Awesome food, wine and atmosphere. Definitely will go back“

“Never had we eaten from a Food truck and no words to describe the deliciousness of Recreo. We ordered the steak sandwich which was simply amazing. Don’t know what they season it with just pure deliciousness. Also ordered Tamales,Cuban sandwich and Cuban Milk shakes. Mamey and Guyaba. The tamales were handmade fresh full of flavor and the Cubans had fresh pork chunks not sliced. Cubans were toasted to perfection. You have to try the Steak sandwich he slices the meat fresh to order. ❤️ Best in all Tampa Bay ???Parking: Ample parking everywhere“

“I ordered delivery and the food arrived hot. Good portions. The alcapuria was a good size and tasty. The mofongo had a good amount of chicharones. The food wasn't salty but well seasoned. The arroz con gandules was soft and well seasoned. Everything was delicious. I wish them well and plan to order again.“

“Great service and great food“

“Incredible!! I added a photo but I didn’t take the photo until AFTER I was done eating. This is what was left of my meal thats how wonderful the portion sizes are! I’m saving the rest for lunch. Haha. But I ordered the ‘Palomilla with 2 eggs a Cabello’ and a ‘Carne Empanada’ Omg best empanada I’ve had in years!I have a list I've curated over the years of my favorite restaurants for breakfast, and this has beat out all of them! The food is delicious, and so full of flavor, and large portion size. No wonder people recommend this place! The staff is so warm and kind and the food is so good that I'll probably get it multiple times a month and I don't even eat out like that. Lol. I just know I will crave it it's so good.“

“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!!“

“After eating in Colombia for over two weeks I can safely say that this place has some of the best empanadas in Colombia!!!! From Bogota to Villavicencio to Cali! This truly reminds me of proper empanadas made fresh. 100% worth it and worth the stop“

“Walked in today ordered a Cuban pressed sandwich. It was fantastic. The amazing women working is a great cook and even remembered my wife and I when we were in there last time.Anyone who gives this place a bad review is a POS or a competitor. This is my favorite lunch spot and I am happy to pay for my food plus a tip every time.“

“Best Cuban I’ve ever had!!“

“Today was my first visit to La Teresita.It was a late lunch with my friend.When I arrived to the table my friend already ordered Cuban toast ( with butter) & a glass of water. Mariela was our waitress; she wasmagnificent!I ordered the pork with yucca & yellow rice.We were leaving and encountered a spill on the floor...flies were swarming .“

“If you are looking for authentic Spanish food— go here. The best Cuban toast breakfast sandwich you will ever have. Mangu is incredible. Not greasy and not dry. Incredible. We ordered our same meal to go as well. I have never done that before.“

“They have catering! We've been to this location to sit and eat a few times, food was great! Decided to try their catering services for an engagement party and it was very good! ✨️Citrus honey grilled chicken breast (yummy), white rice, (I made my own beans) sweet plantains, salad and bread. Anderson and the LC LA Chateau at Latin Grill team really came through with no mistakes, and on time (we picked up our order, but they do have delivery available). I would use them again! Great job!!!“

“Best venue for a private party. Fred & his superb staff provided my family with an excellent meal starting with tapas, salad and then 3 choice entree & deserts. Bar drinks/service are epic - loved the Sangria. To add to our special fiesta, they arranged "over-the-top" guitar music with a Flamenco dancer performance. Do not hesitate to patron this excellent restaurant.“

“good service good breakfast“

“Service was amazing. Food was also terrific, very impressed. Steak was over cooked, but they were very gracious and corrected. Menu is really interesting, not sane as other places and offers a nice choice option with some really lovely twists that make the dishes special. Highly recommend“

“La comida realmente es muy rica y tiene variedad ! La atención es muy buena , gente muy querida , el sitio es súper limpio y organizado! Felicidades“

“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.“

“I’m from New York been missing that style Chinese food. The rib tips were really good and the shrimp egg rolls were full of flavor. The chicken wings were fried perfectly. The rice was really good. I’d definitely recommend this place to my fellow NYCers who are looking for a Chinese restaurant that’s like back home. Next time I plan on getting the fried half chicken and some tostones. I’m so excited because it’s been a long time since I found a Chinese restaurant that had rib tips, fried half chicken and tostones on the menu. Definitely check them out.“

“Ricas pizzas y batidos de frutas.A mi gusto las mejores q he comido aquí en Tampa.“

“We stopped here on our way to Bush Gardens. Love that they are not quite about their faith with all the biblical decor. My mother in law doesn't eat much Latin food and she is not accustomed to the seasonings so she didn't like her initial order. The owner was very nice and gave her another meal free of charge ❤️ showing God's grace in that action. Our trip started off bumpy but running into this place reminded me that God is always with us!“

“The three of us shared fried chicken and shrimp and grits. Both entrees were good! The chicken had a good home cooked tasting batter on it l, spiced perfectly. The shrimp and grits were underwhelming. It was a good dish just not a winner in my book. I’m a huge fan of the dish! Trip’s version was kind of bland. Plain grits with all the goodies piled on top. If I went back I’d have the chicken. Sides were all good. Winner was the mixed veggies. Shared a piece of Key Lime pie and it was great. Service was prompt and courteous.“

“Bloody Mary was perfect. Perfect amount of Spice“

“I was told I should go do a review for this place, so for Mother's Day, I did. The fresh cooked BBQ is amazing. The only thing that I see could use improvement is a fusion with Latin / American. If you're dining in and enjoy real BBQ thick sauce, bring your own. When I think of BBQ, I think sauce & and potato salad are like peas and carrots or spaghetti and Meat Balls, they are just a thing that go together. They could rill in more Americans by adding this to their menu and getting more business by being added to Uber eats with Potato Salad and a real American BBQ sauce. Overall, I will be back to try their spinning chicken next. While I was waiting, the sound of the oil popping and smells of it cooking had me wishing they had a chicken, rib, sausage combo, hehe“

“That Spanish fried rice is DELICIOUS OMG !I wish it wasn't in ybor. I hate going to ybor, the parking sucksOther than that I would visit this restaurant ALOT more often ?Parking: Parking in ybor sucks, except for Columbia restaurant.They have their own parking lot and its freeKid-friendliness: Family friendly“

“Excelente para visitar con amigos y/o familia. La calidad de la comida y la atención del personal de servicio hacen que se quiera repetir la asistencia al lugar. No se lo pierda pruebelo !!!!!!“

“Sal Y Mar exceeded my expectations. Our server Brody F. was attentive and helped with our food and drink options. Food and cocktails were awesome and I loved it!“
