Got a steak sandwich with onions on Cuban bread. Everything was tasty. The bread tasted fresh, the steak was well cooked and well seasoned and the onions had a little crunch without being under or over cooked. If you looking for ambience then maybe this isn't the place but for a good meal...I recommend.

A favorite weekend breakfast spot for us. Their breakfast specials are a great value and made to order. We also love to order a Cuban Sandwich to go, for tailgating before a concert or sporting event. Last week, we went to have a fav dinner - the liver and onions. Always hits the spot! Great neighborhood find - staff is always smiling and friendly.

Can't remember ever visiting this place but the signage looks super familiar. I got a steak & onion sandwich on Cuban bread ofc and will return to try the Spanish beef stew. The service is welcoming & my order began was pretty quick. This is my definition of mom & pop. It feels nostalgic of my days as a kid with my Grandpa touring the city. I'm sure to revisit & will post more photos as I do!

This place was really awesome !! The staff took good care of us. The food was great, and was tasty. The prices were great !!! The ambiance was good too, a lot of Tampa Bay workers were eating lunch or gathering around with old friends. It's a cozy place for lunch. I give it 5 stars !!! My first time there, and I will always come back for hometown Cuban sandwiches. Thank you guys for a great lunch !!! This is a hidden gem. Never knew a gem like this existed.
