"Just Incredible. Jesus the owner was a pure delight to talk with about Cuban history, Ybor city and most importantly his ancestral knowledge. I wish I had more time to sit and enjoy his knowledge and life's experiences but this is truly a conversation I will take with gratitude and love. Now onto the Cuban Sandwich. I have tried many in the Tampa area, and normally they just get better and better but this here Cuban Sandwhich was the Mona Lisa of them all. Pure mouth watering goodness for every bite, the softness of the fresh baked and delivered daily bread, to the fresh roasted pork to the ham, cheese and pickles. I do believe that God willed me here so that I have finally ended my search for the ultimate goodness of this historical sandwhich. What I truly found most interesting is in my conversations with Jesus, the original Cuban Sandwiches were not pressed, but just made with that special bread. I was informed that without the pressing the flavors would be more abundant and the different nuances of all the flavors come alive. Jesus was absolutely correct, without that cruncy of a flat pressed sandwhich, this was easier to absorb and taste everything. Just Incredible. I also had a Cuban coffee and the Gauva and cheese empanada. Coffee was excellent and made with just the right amount of milk and sugar. The empanada was fluffy yet crispy. It had a perfect mixture of guava and cheese and came with a dipping sauce that I cant pinpoint, but tasted excellent together. I wish as always I had more time to enjoy the photos and brilliant colors of the interior but I can only imagine sitting here for dinner and truly enjoying fantastic food listening to music. Thank you Jesus for taking the time to tell me some fascinating history of Cuba and sharing about your family as well. God bless you!"

"The food is delicious. This is the best Cuban sandwich I have had ever. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. I ordered food to go, and the staff didn't skip a beat. They had soulful Christmas music playing. Love it the menu has some interesting things that I want to try. My only knock is that it is easy to pass even with GPS. I highly recommend this place and don't do what I did. Spen more than a half an hour there you won't regret it. The owner is awesome and one to get to know."

"Creamy Olive & Ricotta spread doesn’t look at all like what is advertised and is super garlic heavy but that is really the only flavor. Comes with stale or lightly toasted bread. Not great and way over priced at $10 for the quality. Would not recommend this dish. The Cuban we got was decent and is where my 3 stars come from but by itself it was for sure a 4 star sandwich."

"Saw this spot on Instagram talking about the history of the cuban sandwich. Super authentic and good prices. We ended up eating our Cuban sandwich we ordered to go, at the restaurant after trying just a bite. They use cuban bread from a nearby bakery (in Ybor, where the cuban sandwich was invented) that's been in business for 110 years. You can definitely take a bite of history here. Take the time to stop in. Totally worth it."

"Online ordering was user friendly. Food was ready when we got there even though tons of people were already there. They had a separate line for online paid..."
