Bob Buckhorn: Everything is good but get the Cuban for the real Ybor experience. Their Cuban bread is from La Segunda, a historic and authentic bakery just a few blocks away.
Michelle S: Great sangria and service, lobster flatbread and soups are amazing...chorizo app and rib app a little dry and tough...paella was not authentic no crust on rice and meat over cooked
Mario Tang: The most authentic cuban food outside of miami or cuba 1905 salad is ginormous

ᴡ Sherlock: The service is quick and very polite, authentic Cuban's. Called me señora when I was called up! Delicious food!!
Jeff Borrero Ruiz: Great bakery place w/ authentic cuban & baked goods. Recommend ordering online as the place gets crowded. They routinely export their good cuban breads. Tried the Bacon Avocado Sandwich (7.5/10).
Jolene Sopalski: Everything is amazing. The cinnamon rolls are melt in your mouth good. The bacon, egg and cheese toast is the best.

TBOcom: Chef Rene Valenzuela's Taco Bus is synonymous with authenticity, serving dishes based on recipes he brought from Monterrey- large servings low prices.Open 24/7, it's a great spot for late-night eats.
Beba: This is my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in Tampa. I normally order the Carnitas Pibil tacos, with orchata. On the weekends, super late or super early, I stick with Menudo, and bottle of coke
