Next to the baseball arena you can find very tasty,,cuban fast food restaurant,,. Parking in front of the place is free for 2 hours. You can take your meal with you or dine in. Ordering is available only at the front door. Than you sit down in the restaurant. There isn’t the service they will only bring you the food you bought. Don’t expect anything special about it. I tried both chicken - pollo, and pork- lecho. They were both delicious and fresh. You don’t even need knife to cut the meat because it’s so well prepared. The plate option is automatically served with rice,beans and fried bananas. Also the Mexican Coca Cola is available at the place but is little bit overpriced. I definitely recommend.

The service was ok. Nothing to rave about but what needed to be taken care of was. Food portions were outstanding. Place was clean and loved the music. Here's the BUT : IM PRETTTY sure that either someone in that kitchen who prepared my food was sick or they spit in my food as I only ate a little and got full and not long after my throat got itchy and weird. [ I litterally never get sick or have allergies] & my husband ate the rest of my food which was like a lot left and he got sick and had to call of work. And he was very healthy right before eating the rest of my left overs. I STRONGLY encourage your staff not work while handing and making food. That is just grose. OUTSIDE of that promising improvement-> I really enjoyed everything else. And we had originally stopped because I did really enjoy the whole atmosphere.

What a Gem! This incredible local restaurant has the best cuban sandwich in Tampa/St. Pete's! I absolutely love their food, my wife loves their vegetarian sandwich and plantains. My Cuban sandwich was on point every meat in there was so tender and flavorful perfect! The bread is out this world the bread was traditional Cuban style and amazing! The girl at The counter was awesome she was patient and explain how the menu worked. It made the experience easier and that much better. Seating is very limited. Make sure you Check in Yelp I got a free Cuban coffee amazing! 100% recommend!!
