    Probably the best example of quality, quantity and value in Tampa for favorite Cuban cuisine for breakfast and particularly lunch. The space & location are a little odd, but the food makes up for it.

    I love their Cuban Sandwiches! Oh, and if you get there around 12, be prepared for a 20 line wait. It's well worth it though.
