    My wife and I have been here a few times. The service is very good the staff really friendly. My wife loves the turkey with Swiss cheese. She said it was one of the best she has had 9.2. I have had the cuban both times and it was delicious again one of my favorite Cubans 8.9 if you are in plant city this is a must try.

    Chicken Cesar salad wrap

    Stumbled upon this unassuming hole-in-the wall type places in downtown Plant City - little did I know it would be one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The chicken Caesar salad was hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked chicken, fresh ingredients, and a dressing that was spot on. I also have to mention the bread they use for their sandwiches--it's outstanding and really takes everything to the next level. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food. I'll absolutely be back.

    Had a nice meal at Norma's where the owner was incredibly friendly and kind. We got the chicken wrap, nachos, and some sandwiches. The restaurant was clean and cool. Thank you!

    Norma's is a solid choice for a sandwich in downtown Plant City. My wife and I stopped in here for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. After our first choice for lunch wasn't opened, we found it a perfect opportunity to try something new that we've been meaning to try anyway. Norma's in Plant City. We walked into a quiet, small restaurant. Tables and chairs scattered about. Room for maybe 20 people or so to eat. We walked up to the counter and looked over the menu. A friendly gentleman came out and greeted us. My wife went with the Cuban, the original, not Norma's version. I went with the Philly Cheesesteak that was made with brisket. My wife got black beans and rice as a side, and I did fried yuca. For dessert, we grabbed one of their peanut butter rice crispies topped with chocolate. The food didn't take long. As we waited, we looked around. Like other places in Plant City, this restaurant takes pride in the history of its location, the walls adorned with photos from the past. The farmhouse vibe with wooden shelves and metal chairs was comfy and inviting although outdated as far as trends go these days. The food was served in plastic baskets. The bread was soft and fresh. My cheesesteak had good flavor but was mostly toppings. Lots of lettuce, tomato, some onion, banana peppers and cheese. The brisket was few and far between. I may have gotten two good bites of meat for a sandwich that has meat in the name of it. The Yuca fries were good. Crunchy, well-seasoned and served with a garlic aioli on the side. You can get the exact same yuca fries and dipping sauce at Hemingway's at Armature Works in Tampa. My wife enjoyed her Cuban. The traditional Cuban is served with shredded mojo pork, as opposed to Norma's version, that has sliced deli pork. The traditional Cuban also had lettuce and tomato on it, which many would argue, isn't traditional. Either way, my wife enjoyed the sandwich. The black beans and rice side was a decent serving and was tasty. In the end, we enjoyed our meal and we were glad we tried this locally owned restaurant in Plant City.

    Mojo pork tacos & black beans and rice!! Little cup of verde sauce!

    Quaint, clean, and delicious!!! Had the Mojo tacos, so much flavor in the pork. Just the right amount of cilantro/onion. Pack of 3 is just right!! Beans and rice....had little pieces of mojo pork in it that didn't take away from the beans and rice!! I put the verde sauce in the beans and rice because that's how I like it!!! Traditional Cuban sandwich (with pulled mojo pork) was so perfect. If you like Cuban sammi's....you need to order this one. Will definitely be a fav and return when in Plant City!! Oh...bonus...FRESH BREWED self serve unsweetened and sweetened tea!!!! Staff member was polite, explained menu and service was prompt and food was hot and seasoned well!! Love NORMA'S!!!

    The food was absolutely amazing we were pleasantly surprised but this little gem tucked away in downtown plant city. Both the blackened tacos and Cuban bowl were absolutely fantastic. The green sauce was the BEST! I had to get Taco's to bring home so my husband could taste how amazing they were. We will definitely be back!

    Found this place after a Yelp search while visiting the Dinosaur Exhibits. We loved it so much we stopped back in on our way home from Tampa on our last day. The younger girl behind the counter was extremely nice and even remembered my name on the second day when I returned. We tried the Yucca Fries which were a first for us. The chimichuri sauce that accompanied them was spot on delicious and really elevated them. The Cuban sandwich was amazing, the veggie sandwich, turkey sandwich were all flavorful and filling..the last thing we ordered was a special..beans and rice with the pork on top, it had a nice flavor as well..though I'd have to say was my least favorite of all the things we tried. I would definitely recommend stopping by and giving this place a try. I love new places like this in small towns, keep up the great work!

    The BEST Cuban in Plant City or Lakeland. Their soups, tacos and bowls are also amazing. This is one of my staples when guests are in town.

    While the menu isn't extensive, what you get tastes the same every time -- which is what a restaurant is supposed to be.

    I have had two experience in the past with this catering company. First one was back in 2019, they…read morewere hire by my apartment complex to prepare a Mother's Brunch for residents and their mother's. Second one was for my wedding. I decided to go with them expecting the same experience but this was not the case at the end. My husband, fiancé at the time, and I went to the testing, Jennifer took care of us and we expressed our menu was going to be pork-free and it was reflected in our options, chicken and steak. About a month before the wedding they changed the contact person as Jennifer left the company. This cause a great deal of stress in me due to the fact that when I spoke with Maria she seemed that she did not have a clue if what I was talking about, regarding all the menu and specifics, I had already discuss with Jennifer and changed completely the quote adding a good $800 extra to quote. Come wedding day, first, I had nice matching silverware and the team decided to put the metal silverware next to the silver wear. Here the common sense was not used. This clashed with the decor. I remember mentioning to put the silverware next to the food so if people wanted to use those instead of the ones in the table they had the choice. Secondly, the caesar salad had bacon on it and it was pre-made. Once again, I was very explicit about not wanting pork in the menu. Half of my family ended not been able to eat the salad and I found this so annoying as I paid almost $2,400 for the services. Third, the head server approach me at some point of the wedding to ask me about the services and I told her how I was feeling and told her 'not great'. To this day NOBODY from this company has reached out to me for feedback. Needless to say they won't have my business nor recommendation in the future. Lastly, keep in mind it has been almost a full year of my wedding and I still feel strongly about it all.

    Just wanting to give a major kudos to Affordable Catering for a phenomenal job they did in catering…read moreour rehearsal dinner. They catered our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner 1 week after Hurricane Ian. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Their staff members, Ice (lead server) and Dunia (2nd server) were absolutely awesome! They showed up on time coming to Venice, Fl from Tampa during very heavy "Ian" recovery traffic. Not only did they impress us with arriving with ample time to set up before guests arrived, they were very personable, happy, enjoyable and extremely efficient in serving and clean up. The food by Affordable Catering was absolutely amazing. The 62+ guests we had were thrilled with the food and service. Everything tasted so delicious, in particular, the Maui Chicken was a HUGE success. We received nothing but raves about the food. Thank you "Affordable Catering" for making our first experience an excellent experience. Marie Bentancourt, my sales associate, was also key in making our event a success as well. She worked very hard at satisfying my needs. She was very conscious of my concerns and had perfect suggestions to satisfy my specific needs. Thank you once again Affordable Catering. If anyone is looking for the perfect company to cater their party, you will not be disappointed with this company.
