Liborios Latin Cafe - Teriyaki chicken congris and corn. - Cuban Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I can't say enough good things about this place! I am HOOKED on their fried pork chunks, black beans and boiled yucca. It is an little unassuming commercial area with a half dirt parking lot. They have a cafeteria a la carte style ordering where you start with your bases like rice or beans and then pick your protein and finish up with sides. Don't worry about the food being fresh, this place is slammed and they have trouble keeping all the trays full sometimes! The prices are fair and you get plenty of food! The flavors are amazing and you get some cuban bread and butter to go along with it. read more

Cafe style. I have the take out all the time. This place have all kind Spanish food from fried whole fish to teriyaki chicken. They gave selection of small or big plate. Range from $4 to $6.50. They also have devil crab, chicken or ground beef empanadas, stuff potato. They also have freshly make Cuban sandwich. Compare to fast food change, cafeteria style is a better option. I always come here for for the guarapole ( sugar cane juice). They prepare the fresh squeeze on the site. It is good. Please be aware the lunch crowd build up after 11:30 am. Please come early. If you come after 11:30 am, the line is already to the door. Friday night, music and fun is happen here. People gather after work for music. read more

You could easily drive past this restaurant a dozen times and not realize it's here. It's a very unassuming building but if you're a Latin food fan, it's worth the stop. The food is served cafeteria style with very generous portions and incredibly reasonable prices with tons of entree and side options. I, of course, had to try their Cuban sandwich (3/5) and their fried plantains (3/5) and both were tasty if not a bit whelming. However, based on everyone else's food (and their chorus of yums) I would absolutely go with their cafeteria style. The shredded chicken was a big hit! read more

I love this place. They're always busy and going above and beyond to offer such amazing service. Any of their meat options are amazing. I personally love getting it to go in a box because they PACK that sucker with food. Don't forget to try their churros, they're baked fresh and Absolutely amazing! read more

Si te gustan las paticas de puerco guisadas, tienes que pasar por aqui. Las vas a encontrar todos los martes. Este ultimo quedaron increibles. Realmente felicito al cocinero quien las preparo con tanto amor y dedicacion. Estoy pensando comprar varias raciones que me cubran mis antojos por el resto de la semana. Otra cosa que consumo aqui es el pollito asado con col hervida y habichuelas verdes. Divino!!!! Lo recomiendo 100%. read more

Liborios isn't a big spot, and if you blink you can pass it really quick -- my advice? DON'T BLINK! The is a little neighborhood gem. My husband stops in on his way home from work and can grab us a tasty dinner, but we've also been known to stop in on the weekends and grab a quick lunch. We love the Chicharones, they're always a huge portion and delicious with the fresh squeezed lime on top. The Cuban Sandwich is my go to, while my husband loves the Ropa Vieja, and of course we aren't leaving without Ground Beef Empanadas! If you're nearby it's for sure going to be a hit and worth your time! read more

Been going here for 10-15 yrs. Excellent food. Older facility. Always packed during expected times. Negatives are parking, prices have risen excessively over last year and portion sizes have decreased significantly at same time. I still go, just not as often, but most other family members have stopped going here due to price and portions--plenty of other PR/Dominican/Cuban places in the Brandon area. read more

IM OBSESSED WITH THIS SOUP! this is my favorite Spanish "cafeteria styled" place in all of Brandon. The food is ALWAYS cooked to perfection, you get huge portions for the price and the staff is always friendly. To anyone who is thinking about checking this place out, you will not regret it. 10/10 recommend !! read more

This Cuban restaurant is a great example of a Latin American cafeteria -- huge variety of dishes, sandwiches, Tampa specialties, and solid flavor. All at a darn good price. I've only been during the week for lunch and it is always busy, especially on Friday. Even with the lines it's a great choice for a lunch break on a workday. Their lunch special lets you choose one main protein/meat and two sides for less than $8. Eat in the rather large dining area or take out. Either way you'll be getting a lot of food. The highlights here are Roast Pork, Ropa Vieja, Morros Rice, and Tostones (crispy fried plantains). I've not gone wrong so far. If your not familiar with Cuban food it might be a little difficult to order just because noting is labeled, you can ask the servers who might speak limited English, and the overall environment is hard to hear. But it's worth overcoming these challenges. Maybe ask a fellow patron for suggestions, or ask the server at the very beginning of the counter. read more

We went at the last minute as we were out shopping, we wanted something quick. Loved the food!Great service and quick!

Not bad. Portions are huge and price is decent. Get there early at lunchtime or you'll be waiting outside.

The workers are VERY rude. I had to wait close to an hour to pick-up an order made weeks in advance. I tried to explain to the workers that I had already paid for the items and they refused to listen; they told be to stay in-line, anyway. I acquiesced against my better judgement. I will not spend my money here, again. Especially, considering the bill was several hundred dollars. Avoid at all cost! There are plenty of other LatinX options from which to choose. read more

10 stars if I could. I'm still eating here at least one Friday a month and this update is to inform the masses that: 1. The serving area has been updated with nice two-tier glass coverings and extra room for more food to serve. It's nice to see an owner put money back into a restaurant. 2. It's still super crowded between noon and 1pm so be prepared for a line inside and sometimes out the door. 3. They take ApplePay! 4. No longer do I order yellow rice...it's all about the moros! 5. Staff is all very friendly and work hard to serve customers and keep the line moving. read more

I had the fish, fried rice and black beans. The food was decent but the fish contained bits of clam shells that I bit down on. This is extremely unsafe and dangerous to mix any type of sea shell in fish stew. I understand that fish stew may contain a fish bone or two, but clam shells is unreasonable. read more

This cafeteria style cafe has some delicious food! This review is based on food, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, and value. I've been here a few times now. Their Medianoche is loaded down and very delicious! During lunch, the line is out the door, so get there early, grab a tray, and proceed through the line. There is a wonderful assortment of prepared items, or ordering off the menu is another option. The parking lot gets crammed at lunch. It's mostly gravel, loaded with potholes, and the only real downer I've encountered so far (which isn't a big deal). The line can get long, but they move customers through very efficiently. They have a good team of employees working fast, taking orders, and making food. The service has always been fast and friendly in my experience. There's lots of seating, but during the lunch rush it can fill up. The noise level is on the high side, just because it's so busy, but not so loud you can't have a conversation. The place is kept fairly clean, considering the age and condition of the building. They do good about keeping tables cleared, despite the high pace. The atmosphere is about as casual as it gets. It's comfortable, and has a nice flow to it. For the quality, flavor, and portion of food, I can't complain about the value. The menu is priced for repeat business, in my opinion. Overall, it's great food, quick & friendly service, and it doesn't break the bank. I'm a big fan! read more

While in town, I saw all the positive reviews.. So I wanted to try this place out! I got there rather earlier (around 0800) not knowing what to expect/not wanting old food, since the pics showed that the food was prepared behind the glass like cafeteria food. When I got there I ordered: - Cafe con leche - Egg and Cheese sandwich (comes tasted/cuban bread) - Fried fish filet - devil crab ball - Cafe con leche- was good! I didn't even have to tell them how many sugars.. - Egg and cheese- was good, came hot made to order - Fried fish- Was fully of grease and cold.. I don't understand why the fish was luke warm.. Also the fish wasn't soft, it was like old fish from the day before, and very hard to cut with the butter knife.. Devil crab ball- Never had it before, but decided to try it since reading all the reviews.. I was not impressed! It taste like it was made with a tomato base, and again it wasn't hot! I ended up throwing the whole thing away! I won't be back!! read more

The food was semi flavorful. It wasn't nasty. Was looking for a good cuban food spot on our drive and decided to try it. They gave cuban toast WITHOUT THE BUTTER! Who does that? The best part was the mojo and tostones for me. That was slamming! Food hurt my stomach and my wife's as well. Probably reused oil or maybe very oily. I even had a bundle of hair on my soda cup. It turned off my entire experience. read more

This was the first place I ate at when I arrived to Tampa and I'm so happy it was. The food is definitely authentic, everything was cooked to perfection. It's a la carte style so all of the food is set out for you and you pick what you like. They give you really big portions for the price you pay. One plate for me will last about two meals. read more

This place was packed at lunch and full of many regulars you could tell. I think the food I got was good but the service was confusing and I wasnt sure what I was getting or supposed to order. It was good prices and quick service and they were friendly. Just for someone who had never been to a place like this (caffeteria style spanish and cuban food) it was a little overwhelming. There was no signage to indicate what food was what. It appears they might moonlight as a bar at night as well but we went for lunch. Overall the food was delicious, whatever it was that I ate... *smile* read more

Truly delicious sandwiches at a reasonable price. The Cuban Sandwich and Steak Sandwich are both highly recommended. The plantain chips are fresh and delicious, but a little on the pricey side. Thankfully they don't pour a crap ton of salt in them like some other Latin markets. The actual cafeteria food is hit or miss. The tamales and black rice are on the drier side. The pork belly pieces are flavorful. The Cuban bread is excellent. Price is really reasonable though. I have to try more things on the menu to get the full picture. Service is fast and friendly even if sometimes there seems to be a language barrier so be aware of that if you don't speak Spanish. The attendants are friendly. They also have a good cafe con leche too. Probably one of the best you'll have in Brandon. Go here! read more

So I'm running about in the Riverview/SE Tampa area around lunch time, and I'm hungry. What's a fellow to do? Pull out the trusty yelp app on my phone! Liborios was an absolute find! Bring your appetite and a little bit of money and you will surely walk out well fed and happy! It's a no frills kind of place with really good food and really great prices! I had the Roast Pork Combo ($6.50) and could not believe my eyes. I literally had to box half the meal and take it home. $6.50!! The pork was moist and tender. The black beans were seasoned well. It was fabulous! The only thing that kept it from perfection was the availability of lime (not lemon) wedges. One of my friends had a Cuban Sandwich and Soup Combo. The soup was homemade, and looked fantastic. The sandwich looked pretty darned good as well. I can't imagine a better value proposition anywhere in that part of town. An absolute gem! read more

Wow....this is authentic as it gets. When I rolled up half of Bradenton Co. Sheriffs department was coming out. That sealed the fact that this was a must stop. You know a gang of cops know where to eat. I had the roast pork(highly recommended by other yelpers), black beans&rice w/ raw onion...beef empanada and a side of Cuban bread. I had enough leftovers for two more meals...maybe three and I ate a lot. It was all top shelf and very authentic. I highly recommend reading Sean's review...it helped a lot. Cafeteria style so be ready. I obviously stuck out like a turd in a punch bowl but Maria was very sweet and helpful. I will be back. read more

Good Cuban restaurant. It's a service line type of restaurant with a wide variety of meat, soups snd side choices. The pulled pork was pretty good. The fried pork rinds were good. The green beans were okay. The fried plantains were a little on the hard side. The potatoes were pretty good. Fried rice was good. Service was great. We will definitely return to try other items. read more

A place that has fresh sugar cane juice, cuban coffee and devil crabs ( and a whole onslaught of cuban and Latin America specialities) is worth its weight in gold. Find it, soak in all that cuban expresso aroma, get some cuban coffee, indulge in some Pollo Rico or a Cuban sandwich or some devil crabs or some tamale, finish of with some fresh sugarcane juice. read more

I just had the worst Cuban sandwich (media niche) of my life.... why in the world would add cold lunch meat to a Cuban ewwwwwww and lettuce and tomato!!! What kinda Cuban y'all trying to create i literally had a tiny piece of pork (in a Cuban) but like a pound of crappy lunch meat. So sad because I always come here on vacation. I will make sure to stick to what they know which is hot plates of food. But please stop making theses nasty Cuban sandwiches. read more

Great food, huge selection, and big portions! Loved it! I told my family about this restaurant and we'll be going together often. Can't wait. read more

Everyone at my job has been raving about this place and I only recently went here for the first time. Needless to say, I was hooked after the first visit. They have main course selections that are the same every day and then ones that change. The first time I went, I ordered Roasted Pork (Lechon Asado) with garbanzo beans and yellow rice. It's a delicious combination but my favorite days are when they serve Ropa Vieja, which literally means "Old clothes," because the slow cooked beef just falls apart in your mouth. Their food is great, the atmosphere in the restaurant is very low-key as well and the prices are unbeatable. If you want a delicious home cooked tasting lunch, definitely go here! read more

Convenient, delicious Cuban cafe. My Dad and I were passing through Tampa on our way south to meet family in Ft Myers. We wanted to stop for a Cuban sandwich. But we were in a hurry and had been out fishing for 8 hours. Most of the places I could see on Yelp were sit-down, closed early, or far from I-75. Liborio's fit our needs perfectly. On the way down we grabbed a cuban sandwich, a steak sandwich, a devil crab, and some tostones con mojo. The tostones were a little dry, but very crispy and tasty. The devil crab was THE best I've ever had, loaded with real crab. The sandwiches were excellent. The cuban bread was the best Cuban bread I've ever had, and that makes the sandwich. It was so good, we stopped on the return trip and got a combination each, roast pork with moros and yuca con mojo for me. And Ropa Vieja withc rice and black beans for my Dad. Also, two sandwiches cold, for the road. All delicious. Prices are great, portions are extremely generous and the service was very friendly. read more
