    Manager was the worst

    I was here today. Drive thru and had a bad experience. Bad service, had us waiting for long time gave some else our chicken had to wait extra time to have more chicken cooked. Didn't communicate it to us literally had to get out the car and walk in to find out we come from Sarasota and literally had to sit here just waiting on order for about 30 min or more. Drive thru kept going dine in as well it was only mine order stuck I don't understand how they can do this

    As a fried chicken enthusiast, I had to stop in and try Pollo Campero. The girl standing at the counter was counting something then just stared at me like I was bothering her. Didn't even greet me, I had to ask her if she was ready to take my order. I asked for an 8 piece fried and grilled mix with mixed meat, not dark only. She said she had to check if they had grilled. She came back and said that they didn't have that many but they'll fill the order. Just to be sure I was understanding, I asked if that meant I'd get 4 grilled pieces or less? She said you'll get 4, I said okay. $22 later, I was home with fried and grilled pieces to try. I felt the grilled pieces needed a bit more color and was too lemony in flavor and the fried was too salty. It tasted very similar to Winn-Dixie's fried chicken. I'm glad I tried it, but I won't be returning.

    I had high expectations for Pollo Campero, but honestly, I was disappointed. The service was okay, but the food--especially the chicken--was cold, and the fries were also cold. Judging by the appearance of the fried chicken, the oil needs to be replaced and properly filtered. It seems like the fryer oil has been reused for too long without being changed, which affects both the color and the flavor of the chicken. They really need to improve the quality of their food. I definitely won't be coming back, and I don't recommend eating their chicken.

    Got the fried chicken, and grilled chicken, plantains and the beans. Came out cooked perfectly, fresh, and delicious. Would recommend trying it out!

    Roasted chicken was so dry! Horrible! Fried chicken was too greasy. Yuca had no taste. Service sucked. Sad!

I asked the waiter for a Heineken (can't go wrong with that I thought). The waiter advised that there were no more. Okay , well let me have a classic margarita. The color of it was a ghost white and a couple of sips made me so sick it ruined my entire trip. The Server had a poor attitude, the drinks were terrible, and there is not one thing Bahamas about the place. In closing, I feel that if a person is not willing to serve people from all walks of life (race, color, creed, etc.) should go into a profession where he doesn't have to deal with people period!!! We took our leftovers with us to discard because I felt they probably would have reused for the next customer who was not of their likings. WORSE DINING EXPERIENCE IN THIS CENTURY!!!

The wait staff were very friendly, Mark my waiter, has worked here for over 20 year! Speaks volumes about how they run this place! The service was chill, and the food was 1000% full of delicious flavor. I tried their classic famous salad, the seafood paella, and the flan! Absolutely hit the spot!! Visiting here on a Sunday evening was a totally different experience! It felt less like dining out and more like sharing a family meal in a much-loved, historic home. I'll definitely be returning and will bring friends and family with me next time I visit Tampa!

    Recommended by our friends, we made a reservation at Columbia Restaurant during our visit to Ybor…read moreCity on Friday. As the oldest restaurant in Florida and the largest Spanish restaurant in the world, we felt it was a must-visit to experience its rich history and unique atmosphere. We also reserved seats for the Flamenco dance show, which had a $10 cover charge per person. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and enormous, with so many different dining rooms. You could probably get lost trying to find your friends inside, just kidding! We were lucky enough to get a table near the stage, so we could enjoy the Flamenco performance while having dinner. For our meal, we started with the Caldo Gallego "Giant Soup" ($10), which was hearty, flavorful, and incredibly comforting. We also ordered Columbia's Original "1905" Salad ($18). Made with crisp iceberg lettuce, julienned baked ham, natural Swiss cheese, tomatoes, olives, grated Romano cheese, Lea & Perrins® Worcestershire sauce, and their famous garlic dressing, it was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. Our main dish was the Mojito Chicken ($25). The chicken was very flavorful, especially with its delicious citrus-garlic sauce. Although the chicken itself was just a little on the dry side in my opinion, the flavorful sauce made up for it, and the dish was still very enjoyable. We also had the Paella "a la Valenciana" ($40), which was loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, calamari, chicken, and pork, along with green peppers, Spanish onions, ripe tomatoes, garlic, and a splash of white wine. It was a generous portion packed with fresh seafood and rich Spanish flavors. The New York Strip Sirloin "The Bambino" ($53) was another excellent choice. The 14 oz. USDA Choice wet-aged boneless strip steak was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. To finish our meal, we ordered the Flan ($8). It was smooth, creamy, and absolutely delicious, a perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. The Flamenco dance show was fantastic! The dancers were energetic and passionate, making the entire dining experience even more lively and memorable. Combined with the excellent service, it made for a truly enjoyable evening. Overall, Columbia Restaurant is much more than just a place to eat, it's a historic landmark and an unforgettable dining experience. Between the beautiful Spanish architecture, rich history, delicious food, outstanding service, and exciting Flamenco performance, it's definitely worth visiting when you're in Ybor City.

Even though the restaurant was packed, we hardly waited at all. We were seated immediately, our server took our order right away, and our food arrived incredibly fast. The entire staff worked together seamlessly, constantly checking on guests while keeping everything moving efficiently. Their friendliness and outstanding service made the experience even better. The food was outstanding! authentic, incredibly flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was delicious, and the portions were absolutely ginormous. You definitely get more than your money's worth! The restaurant itself is beautiful, welcoming, and full of energy. It's impressive to see such a busy place run so smoothly without sacrificing quality or service. La Teresita is truly one of Tampa's hidden gems. Amazing food, exceptional service, huge portions, and a fantastic atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Cuban dining experience!

We tried a few things: -Churro: okay but definitely stale, wish it had been fresher. This was a bit disappointing. -Chicken and rice: chicken was not very flavorful. Parts were cooked perfect and some of it was a little dry. Definitely not great... The rice was fantastic, perfectly cooked and seasoned -Salmon and fries: this was really good, flavorful and cooked great. We just wish it was a little bigger for the cost. -Vanilla Flan: very good, just a bit small. -Tres Leche: stole the show! Fabulous! I would come back just for this! The texture was perfect and the flavor was flawless! It was sweet but not too sweet. Great dessert! Definitely check your food before leaving though as they did forget part of the meal. Not a big deal as the guy up front was super apologetic and friendly. That dude was great! They need more just like him. Also, not the cleanest, floors needed swept and mopped. (That definitely would have helped the experience) Overall, it was a good/okay experience, just not great.
