This is a review for future Christina, get the fries from here because the kids like it…read more I know most people go to Empamamas for the empanadas. That's what my sister did. She got an empanada and said that it was pretty good. However, I waited in line just to get fries. This place opens at 11 AM so we walked up at 10:57 and waited for them to open. Once they opened, they gave us buzzers which I thought was interesting since other places now text. It did mean that I ended up just staying close by because I wasn't sure how far the range was. I do appreciate though that they do give you buzzers in case you want to go put in an order at another place. One order of fries is enough for both children, and they both liked it! My children don't like all fries, so this is useful to know that they will eat the fries here. The fries seem to be made fresh, so I did wait a little bit for it. I think this is a great stall at Armature Works.

Solid empanada! Came here right when they opened at 11 am, so was first in line and can't comment…read moreon wait times. I opted to get a tampa girl empanada, as it seemed like something different than the norm. The empanada was solid-- it came out piping hot and I really enjoyed the flavors. It's definitely unique and a fun play on a cubano in empanada form. One is a substantial snack, if you wanted a meal I'd suggest 2-3 depending on how hungry you are. My sister also ordered the fries from there which were pretty solid as well! Overall, a good spot to hit up at Armature Works and I'd definitely go back.

However, the filling was lacking in flavor and was pretty dry. I wish it had been served with a sauce on the side, I think that would have really elevated it. The man working the farmers market stand was very kind and patient and the stand was set up nicely with good signage to show all the flavors. I can't speak to the ambiance of the actual cafe though since I have not seen it.

The dough, although baked has a old taste and the cheese pesto we normally get just didn't taste as good as we once had. The lady working there just doesn't seem to be present. I order 6 empanadas and asked for hot sauce and she just said no. We all got heartburn after having lunch here which was disappointing. Not sure what happened. The first 2 visits were excellent but the last 3 times have all tasted the same. Stale and old. Couple this with poor service. Makes for a terrible experience. They do have some unique flavors, a delicious home made hot sauce and Italian sodas. But this will be a hit or miss with little consistency

If you're visiting Ybor City, do yourself a favor and stop by La Segunda Bakery and Cafe. This…read morehistoric bakery has been serving the Tampa community since 1915, and it's easy to see why it's still a local favorite over a century later. (La Segunda Bakery) Everything we tried was incredible! The sandwiches are huge, loaded with flavor, and made on their famous fresh Cuban bread. The empanadas were perfectly seasoned and packed with delicious fillings. And don't even get me started on the pastries, they're fresh, flaky, and absolutely amazing. The best part? The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for the quality and generous portions you receive. Whether you're grabbing breakfast, lunch, or just satisfying a sweet tooth, La Segunda is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

All the different empanadas we tried were delicious and not greasy. I will suggest the basic beef is the best. But the other flavors such as the sausage & cheese was a close second. Two are filling, but big appetites should get three. Price of $4-$5 each are reasonable. They also serve cuban soups, salads and sandwiches.

Service was quick and staff members are friendly. I placed my order and received it within 10 mins. I ordered 3 empanadas - guava and cheese, beef and mozzarella, lastly spinach and feta. They were all meh, the dough was on the tougher side and seemed stale. The spinach and feta was my favorite. I also tried the chimichurri and mango chutney sauces. I preferred the chimichurri.

The ladies working were not familiar at all. They also were not friendly and helpful. I was pretty sad. It did make me feel like the previous owners were gone bc either one were there. I hope they are still around and eventually when I come back, I can update this review. We ordered the Hawaiian hot dog and the arepa with beef and chicken. Something was missing. Also we ordered two empanadas. I like their green chimmichuri sauce with it, and as soon as I asked for it, she walked away and never came back. Even the pic on the outside sign shows them with that sauce, but nope never got it. They also have their usual Colombian drinks which are Postobon and Colombiana. They are more expensive and smaller sizes. We will definitely take a break from here. Hope the owners that we know and love will be there.
