Everything I've ever had has been good. read more

I drove here specifically to watch the World Cup game because I wanted to experience the atmosphere at a Colombian restaurant. When I arrived, the hostess told me there were no tables available - which is completely understandable. However, there were two empty seats at the bar, so I politely asked if I could sit there instead. She told me the manager is not allowing anyone to be seated and that I had to wait in the waiting area. The frustrating part is the waiting area had no view of any TVs, and when I went to stand in view of the game, I was told I couldn't. I wasn't asking to take someone's reserved table. I simply wanted to watch the match while waiting. It felt unnecessarily inflexible and unwelcoming, especially during one of the biggest sporting events for the Colombian community. I ended up leaving and watching the game elsewhere. Very disappointing customer service. read more

According to the past reviews, La Cabaña has been around for at least 15 years. This is the first time we have been, & come to find out they completely rebuilt their restaurant. It is quite stunning. Once we passed it, we came back for dinner. They serve Colombian food - rotisserie chicken, steak, Colombian soups and dishes, breakfast, lunch, & dinner. They also have a bar. We had empanadas, agua de panela con queso (traditional Colombian warm drink with cheese), and Ajiaco which is a Colombian chicken stew. Our food was excellent, & our service was too. We can't believe this is here. Def a nice change for us, & we will definitely be back. There's a lot of seating here too for big groups. read more

Wow! My first time at La Cabana and we really enjoyed it! I ordered the lemonade with coconut and it was so refreshing. I had the 1/4 chicken which was served with rice, salad and a clear chicken soup. So flavorful. My partner had a combo platter of different meats which was also good. He also ordered the churros with ice cream. Wow! Our server was friendly and the decor is delightful. read more

Was in Tampa for the day this weekend and friend of mine found this great Colombian spot. Let me start by saying that the customer service was amazing! Our server Sandra made some great recommendations, her personality and hospitality was amazing from beginning to end! I had the carne asada with 2 sunny side up eggs, rice, and a side of arepitas, and of course I had to the colombiana soda. The decor makes you feel like you are in restaurant in Colombia. The decor was so beautiful and their outdoor seating area was so airy, I loved and enjoyed every second here. The food was seasoned perfectly not too salty and not too bland, it was perfect. The pork ceviche with plantain chips we had was the beginning of a great dinner, not too salty and not too tart, you must try this dish if you are in Tampa and come try this place. Parking is very limited so I would suggest carpooling or getting an uber. I quite literally had someone try to go around me, and once they realized they couldn't because of how narrow the parking lot was they had to wait anyways. If you're in the west side of Tampa make sure go give this place a try. read more

La Cabaña is amazing. I really love this place. The mango juice is so good. The Pollo Al Carbon is delicious and the Bandeja Paisa is a must if you want to try the typical Colombian plate with a little bit of everything its so good with the carne asada rice and beans that just pair with it perfectly . I definitely recommend keep in mind that it can get pretty busy on weekends so call ahead if you're coming in. read more

I ordered the pechuga de pollo and tostones, and both were exercises in mediocrity. The chicken was aggressively oversalted -- not seasoned, not flavorful, just a sodium bomb that made it borderline unpleasant to eat. The tostones were even worse: fried into stiff, oil‑logged discs dripping with seed oils, the kind of thing you regret halfway through the first bite. Communication was exclusively in Spanish, which is fine, but the service crossed a line from cultural preference into outright inconvenience. The real insult came at the end: when the server brought the electronic check, she had pre‑selected a 30% tip as if I wouldn't notice. That wasn't an accident. That was a calculated, shameless attempt to squeeze extra money out of a customer who had already endured a subpar meal. I caught it and changed it immediately, but the fact that it happened at all was despicable. Between the disappointing food and the deceptive tipping tactic, this place earned every bit of this review. read more

Came here with family that was in town visiting. This place was recommended by a coworker. The speciality is Colombian cuisine. The atmosphere was loud but having made a reservation we were seated quickly. Our server was prompt and polite. We made our drink and food orders quickly. I got the shrimp ceviche as an appetizer which is pictured. I then ordered the Arroz Especial Con Mariscos Cabana. The ceviche was good with a lite sauce with a hint of what I would say was vinegar. Needless to say I wolfed it down. My cabana arrived and it was massive. The various ingredients work well together. I added a little salsa for a kick. Ala in all 4.6 stars. read more

yuca amazing to die for ahhhhh amazing staff yuca is actually unbelievable 5 stars would rate 100 stars if i could definitely recommend

Very lackluster and disappointing meal. I had a shrimp dish that was 7 or 8 rubbery, tasteless shrimp in a garlic butter sauce. The sauce had very little taste. The dish was served with white rice and two tough plantain cakes. I had high hopes for the cuisine since the restaurant has been in business for many years, but the meal was sub par. read more

Delicious! Great atmosphere and excellent service. Food was flavorful fresh and cooked perfectly. The coffee was out of this world good and the juices too! I got the lengua, a coconut fish plate and rice pudding for dessert. I will Come back again and try more read more

I'm not very familiar with Colombian dishes, but I know I like what I had at La Cabaña. The wait wasn't long and the hostess was very welcoming and told us it would be a short wait. The biscec encebollado, the grilled steak dish and the grilled chicken were nothing short of excellent. The portions are plentiful, with all the dishes including a side of rice, beans and your choice of fries, yuca or a salad. The best part of the meal and what really brought everything together were the natural fruit juices (passionfruit)--fresh fruit, water, sugar and ice, vibrant--that were so refreshing and fresh. read more

Este lugar mantiene un ambiente agradable y buen servicio pero ha perdido calidad en la elaboracion , camaron al ajillo sin sabor , filete de pescado empanizado es una estafa parece tortilla de tacos , fino y quemado .. el churrasco sin sabor . Creo deberian enfocarse en mejorar porque han caido totalmente en calidad read more

I used to love this place and have been coming here for years, but unfortunately it's not the same anymore. The food quality and portion sizes have declined, and the service was disappointing. Due to health reasons, I asked for my meal without rice or beans to eat at the restaurant and requested those sides to be packed to go. The server refused and told me I would have to pack the food myself because they consider it "two different orders." This is not an unusual request and other restaurants handle it without any issue. The response felt dismissive and unprofessional. Overall, not the experience I expected from a place I once enjoyed. read more

Well... there's a positive out of a negative; the rotisserie chicken was gone at 11am... they were making more and it was going to be ready by 12:30... that alone says that chicken must be amazing!! I will definitely try it soon. I had the grilled flank steak; the portions were enough to share with another person. The flavor was great, the red beans were really good and the rice was perfect. My friend requested the beef and veggie soup; it came with 2 chunks of meat, shredded carrots, beets and rice. She loved it. The grilled chicken must have been awesome; it was devoured without sharing. Alright... this restaurant deserves us going back again, so I'd suggest hurry up and go enjoy really great Colombian dishes at La Cabana Restaurant; on Armenia and Hillsborough. :) read more

This restaurant provided terrible service. Alexis was my server, and she certainly didn't give me the best experience; and when I tried to speak with the manager, they tried to avoid it at all costs. Now, not only do they have a dissatisfied customer, but someone who hates this restaurant and will make sure to tell everyone what happened to me. The treatment I received was outrageous. The food was incorrect and the server didn't want to change it out because she didn't want to blamed. The ambiance was ruined by the experience I had. read more

The decor is the only thing good here. I have been wanting 29 minutes for breakfast so I cannot comment on the food. It seems that if you do not speak the language you are put at the back of the line. There are several better place close by that treat customers better. I will not be back. Update. The food came and it was wrong. Avoid this place. read more

I'll be honest the restaurant is newly renovated location, but the food was nothing to right home about , the beans were soso nothing great the hot sauce helped everything ,the steak was tender but very thin and small, but it was the best part of the meal. Sadly half of the things I wanted to order were not ready yet 10:30am on Saturday! Soup of day not ready , chicken not ready , chicken and yellow rice not ready , daily soup not ready! Dinning room was well decorated , and very pretty! We may go back to try the things that we saw and weren't available but it's definitely not at the top of our list to rush back to! Hours are 9am-10pm Friday Saturday and Sunday 9am read more

Excellent Cuban food. No unique dishes that I noticed but the food was excellent. The Cuban sandwich was rich with flavor!

This is my first time coming to this restaurant and it was the worst experience ever. The waiter was not nice at all. The food came out late one thing first then the other by the time we ate the food was cold. Very nice renovations beautiful inside but very bad service not organized at all they were all over the place. The bathrooms very nice but no toilet paper and not paper towels. My drink spilled and when asked for another one it time a long time. Overall it was a bad experience and will not be going back and would not recommend it. read more

Amazing food! I got the typical platter and there is a massive amount of food on there. Everything is so flavorful and tastes just as good as my mom's cooking. Our server was very kind and was very sweet to my grandma and made sure to get her a special meal since she doesn't eat much. While they are under construction, I am very excited for when they are fully refurbished and open again. There's a back door entrance with a very clean dining area that is a fairly spacious for the time being. This is my third time here and that kitchen is putting it work cranking out great meals! Can't wait to come back read more

Came in because i was being told that the food was to die for. When we got there,I waited and waited and the hostess kept looking at me and ignored me. When I approached her and asked if we had to sign in or if there was a waitlist she said no and turned away. I asked her again about getting a seat to dine in and she said, oh youre picking up a to go order? I explained to her that no, I wasn't there to pick up food, but that I would like to dine in . Finally we got sat down. When we got Our food it was way over cooked and the service was not the greatest. We had to wait to get a refill for water, and when I said something about the food, the waitress gave me a look as if to say wth. And lastly, our waitress came back with a water refill she had other cups in her hands and then left a mug of beer that was mostly empty next to me at the table. Never came back to get it. Not a fan and I sure will not come back. There is definitely good colombian food out there, but this place is not one of them! Very disappointed! read more

The food was alright. The service was great and the place is beautiful as it was just reopened from an extensive renovation

This is a very interesting hole in the wall Colombian place. Not bad! The outside of this place looks a bit shady on a random corner on Hillsborough. But as you walk-in, you'll see it's kinda cute! The booths are like little cabins (like what its name said!) Food is average and to be expected. I tired the grilled fish and beef tongue, both are okay. Lightly seasoned, grilled to perfection, and pretty tender and juicy. Honestly, not bad! However, if you were to compare them to best of class Columbia of Hispanic food in general, they are probably more on the average side, it won't really surprise or disappoint. Service was okay, server didn't speak much English, which is acceptable, it's a very Hispanic area. We had a Spanish speaker in our group who helped order for the table, otherwise it might have been tough. But the server really tried to make a pretty welcoming experience! Although food came pretty slow, we waited at least 40 minutes for our food. Overall, it's okish, I probably won't go out of my way to this place. But if I have time, and just happen to be in the area, this is not bad for lunch. read more

La Cabana Restaurant - Ensalada De Repollo (cabbage salad), Frijol Pequeño (beans) - Colombian Near Me - Tampa, Florida

A pretty solid Colombian restaurant, filled with locals and rustic decor. I had the Bandeja De Pueblo, consisting of Lomo de cerdo, chicharron, huevo, maduro, arepa, ensalada, arroz y frijoles, which was tasty (with exception of arepa; the texture and flavor did not hit). The lomo de cerdo (pork) was juicy and tender and the chicharron was crunchy and fatty. Depending on how busy it is, the service may be on the slower side so don't come too hungry ;). Overall, would recommend this restaurant to try out. read more

La Cabana Restaurant - Bandeja De Pueblo Lomo de cerdo, chicharron, huevo, maduro, arepa, ensalada, arroz y frijoles - Colombian Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I think this place is extremely overpriced. I purchased a sancocho (chicken soup). I was charged $17 plus for a bland soup with hardly any vegetables, one of the chicken parts was the back of a chicken with the skin still stuck in it, it was not very appetizing at all, the whole presentation was horrible. I guess they are attempting to recover the money they spent renovating the place by providing overpriced food. I don't plan to return to this restaurant. read more

I ordered delivery from the restaurant and was happy to see they offered a platter which included steak, rotisserie chicken and chicharonnes, yellow rice, red beans, corn cake, plantains and an egg which I omitted. You have a choice in the type of rice and beans. Everything included in this meal was flavourful and cooked perfectly ! read more

La Cabana Restaurant - Bandeja Cabaña - Colombian Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This place is pack at 4 pm. I cannot believe it. Imagine dinner time. A few good things about this restaurant is the reasonable price, good good, party atmosphere. The restaurant have some big screens TV. Imagine soccer games day in this restaurant. It may be only standing room only. I quickly scan their menu. They have daily specials. For Sunday, it is beef tripe soup. I got one order of that. It come with two sides. I got rice and salad. The soup includes some meat and beef tripe. The soup is great with softening tripe. It go well with the rice. My second dish is the carne asada in the lite side. This dish is not at it normal portion. The beef is average grade. Not the best. But the seasoning is there. It go well with the potato. I also got the maracuya drink. This is the infuse coconut rum with passion fruit. I would said is not the one to try. Cost is high Taste is so so. read more

Good typical Colombian restaurant, no complaints. Was disappointed that there was no more chicken when I went at dinner time, but meat was good regardless. Servers were also very nice. read more

First- the service is absolutely terrible. Expect to wait 45 minutes (unfortunately, not an exaggeration) for water. That being said, the food is and has always been really great. The red beans and rice are my personal favorite, but La Cabana is really known for its meat entrees. My small gripe is that the tostones don't come with any sort of sauce (who doesn't have mojo or at least some garlic with oil??) but overall the food is definitely some of the best in the area! read more

This is a wonderful little spot that puts out delicious Columbian flavors at a great price! My Cuban u Cleo turned me onto the place, telling me I really needed to try their rotisserie chicken. And man, was his recommendation right on point! Since my first visit here a couple of years ago, I've come back again and again. When I'm not ordering their rotisserie chicken, my husband and I like to get the mixed meats platter. It's loaded with a variety of crunchy fried meats, fried plantains and other accompaniments, and sliced tomato. It's huge and could be used as an appetizer for groups, or as a dinner for two with plenty left over for the next day. Be sure to try their house-made picante. It's so flavorful. It adds a perfect mild and tangy kick to everything you put it on. The place is clean, the servers are friendly, the ambiance is casual, and the food is terrific! read more
