This small shop is a home run- Sandrita prepares each sandwich carefully and with love. My Cuban was without a doubt, the best Cuban I have had. The pork melted in my mouth and the ratios of ham, pork, cheese, mustard were perfect. Next time I am in the Tampa area, I'll make sure to stop by. In a small strip mall with limited parking and table service but the owners couldn't have been nicer. read more

Absolutely love this place! I can't get enough. The sandwiches are so fresh. It takes about 10 minutes from the time order to receive your sandwich because nothing is premade. But it is absolutely worth the wait! Portion sizes are huge, regardless of the limited menu. Enjoy a fresh Café con Leche also while you wait! The owners will greet you face-to-face every time you're in the store, and are so friendly and want to make sure your experience is top-notch. Parking is a little tight because it's in a plaza but most times a day you can get right in. There are only three tables to die so takeout is best unless you don't mind sharing busy times . No Bathrooms available read more

Sandrita’s Latin Eatery - Cuban sandwich - Cuban Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Definitely 5 stars to this small but very cozy restaurant with representative photos of Cuba and Colombia. From the moment you walk in, it smells absolutely delicious. It's super clean and the service is wonderful. The owner served us, and both he and the people who work there were super friendly. About the food, I must say it was the best Cuban sandwich I have ever eaten. It was huge and the taste was exquisite; it also comes with some divine fried plantains. In conclusion, I would return to this place again for a Cuban sandwich and, of course, to try the other dishes and desserts that were already sold out when I went. read more

The shopping plaza where the restaurant is located looks very old, it as soon as you walk into Sandrita's it's a whole other vibe. The decor it bright and modern. Pleasant to sit and eat in. The staff were simply phenomenal. Friendly and inviting. Got to chat it up with Diego and connected quite a bit about childhood memories growing up with Colombian influence. The food was phenomenal! The Cuban was packed with meats, perfectly assembled and pressed, and one of the most delicious the wife and I have had in Tampa Bay... and we've tried many. The Elena Ruth was such a pleasant surprise! A delicious mix of sweet and savory that reminds me of a sweet empanada mixed with a turkey sandwich. So good. Their cortadito is excellent. Their mango juice was delicious. So smooth. The wife and I will definitely be back! read more

Great sandwiches! Inside looks great and smells oh so good. Hint- park in back for less chaos. Be prepared to take food to go, only 2 tables inside. Everyone working is friendly. We got 2 Cubans, Elena Ruth and Media Noche. Cubans are huge! Sandritas recently won 2nd place at the Cuban Festival! Cuban was one of the better ones around town. Juicy with lots of pork and ham. Melty cheese and pickles with mustard. Traditional and good. The Elena Ruth was a surprise hit. Turkey, cream cheese, strawberry jam on media noche bread. Could almost be a dessert sandwich. It was so good and different. One of these and a Cuban is a perfect blend of sweet and salty. Definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to try Sandrita's. It's so important to support our local small businesses. Although I am not well versed on Cuban Sandwiches I wanted to have one and see if everything them is true. And Sandrita's did not disappoint me at all. I had the Cuban Sandwich. It was overloaded with the tastiest meats. The flavor was amazing. And the press of the Cuban bread was perfect. I loved the crisp of the taste. My sandwich came with Plantain Chips which my daughter ate them in the car. They did not make it home. lol. My daughter got the Elena Ruth. And according to her it was "finger lickin good!" She literally licked her fingers. The food was great. And the service was amazing. So welcoming. So gracious. And the nicest people. We will definitely be back for sure. read more

Where in Tampa can you get pure Miami-style Cuban sandwiches made with plentiful in-house roasted pork? How about a nice colada or cafe con leche made with Columbian coffee? Sandrita's! This relatively new spot piles on the meat and skips the veggies. Diego, the owner, explained that lettuce, tomato and mayo are not part of his Miami Cuban! Neither is Italian salami which is essential to Tampa-style! Paola happily made our sandwiches while I chatted with Diego and learned about his family and pure vision for his business! Stay true and pure Diego! The sandwiches were great as was the coffee! Plus, fresh plantain chips were very tasty. Life is good with a new excellent Cuban sandwich spot in Tampa! read more

There's a new king of Cubans in Tampa. After having countless Cuban sandwiches in tampa my go to was the tried and true La Segunda, But after hearing the buzz around Sandrita's I needed to see for myself. The sandwich is quality from top to bottom and has really addressed the common shortcomings you've come to know in lots of local alternatives. The sandwich is absolutely enormous for the price point. After a brief chat with staff I can see the enthusiasm behind their product and happy to explore the rest of the menu as soon as I recover from this sandwich. read more

I ordered the Cuban sandwich here and the flan. The Cuban sandwich was amazing! Stuffed with lots of protein and the pickles give it a slight acidic balance to balance all the fats. It is pressed so the bread was nice and crispy. Still allowing for me to be very juicy in the middle. The flan was also nice and creamy not thing not chunky. The texture was nice and smooth, and the sweetness level was just right not too sweet. it is a more casual spot with a couple tables. And the service was awesome! The owner was very kind and great recommendations. read more

The elusive search for the "perfect" Cuban Sandwich brought me to Sandrita's today. This small family run shop in a strip center on Waters Ave  boasts a 2nd place finish in the annual Ybor City Cuban Sandwich Festival. Hosted today by Sandrita and her husband, the product did not disappoint. The heavy laden Cuban Sandwich was a delicious treat with an amazing slow roasted pork that was moist and well flavored. The wife had the Turkey and Swiss, which she happily claimed as one of the best she had eaten. The crispy plantain chips were a perfect side and I relished the fact that they were not too salty, a common occurence in other places. While there, I heard rave reviews about their Chicken Soup which I will try on my next visit. Quality products carefully constructed with love is another reason it was so good. They have pride in their product and are excited to talk about it. I can definitely recommend this place, come get ya some! Regarding my search for the perfect Cuban, this one missed my mark. Despite being a superlative treat, it was more of a pork sandwich with ham and swiss. For me, the perfect balance of ingredients is what my definition entails. They went into great detail about how special and rare their ham was and it unfortunately had no real presence as it was overshadowed by the tasty slow cooked pork. read more

Im so happy that I went to check out Sandrita's. I got to try their famous Cuban sandwich and feels like the first time in a long time where I was able to get a great colada. The sandwiches are enough for two people and it's delicious, definitely worth it. My main con with the sandwich is that is looks like they tried adding as much lechón as possible so some of the juices got to the bread and made it a bit soggy. The service was wonderful, very attentive and friendly. It was a bit busy when we arrived so glad that they went able to offer the same level of service even during a lunch rush. read more

This place had been on my list for a little while so glad I got to try it. The Cuban sandwich was excellent and I would like to go back during breakfast time to try the breakfast menu.

Best Cuban sandwiches in town hands down! The place is nice and cozy, I felt very welcomed. The staff is really friendly and love what they do. Diego, the owner, was very attentive, and gave us a nice experience talking about the story of his family and the pictures on the wall. I had an Elena Ruth, which was MIND BLOWING (check the picture for the ingredients) and a pineapple juice. The ham and cheese sandwich and café con leche were amazing too. Definitely a place I would visit again! read more

The Cuban, The Elena Ruth, chicken soup, cafe con leche, and flan- all perfection! We were on the hunt for a good Cuban and after much research we found ourselves at Sandrita's in Tampa. (We live in the Sarasota area) Sandrita herself, her husband and a 3rd person were all cooking on the day we came in. All 3 were so welcoming. The owners are present and clearly run this place with much care and love. They had regulars popping in and you could just feel the genuine love they have for them. We felt more like guests in their home than some random strangers off the street. We were so happy with our food and still talking about it 3 days later. We will be back next time we have a hankering for the best Cuban around. I wish they would move to Venice and open a location here :) read more

Wow! I can't express enough how impressed we were woth this restaurant. The husband and wife took their time cooking love into our food and were so sweet to our little girl. She had her first cuban and did a happy dance to celebrate. The flavor was incredible, so happy we found our new and only spot to get a cuban. Love the simplicity of the space, there is only two table so if you do get there and no where to eat, the zoo is close to make a picnic out of your meal. We appreciate the owners taking their time explaining what their menu consists of and the history of a few well known items. Can't wait to bring the family here when they come and visit! read more

Arrived around 3:30 on Saturday, the owners and staff greeted us with a big smile and warned us that they were out of a few dishes since everything is cooked fresh, I did not mind because I came for the Cuban sandwich, and if not the best it is one of the best Cubans I ever had, the Cuban bread and the roasted pork was fresh, and the combination of the ham, the cheese, the pork and the pickles is just perfect and abundant. The sandwich came with tostones and they were fresh and crispy. A Latin eatery that can't be missed read more

Small sandwich shop packing major flavor! There are about 2 tables inside with seating all first come, first serve. You order at the counter once inside and greeted with a friendly smile. Everything is made to order from the sandwiches to the coffee. You can watch them making everything at the counter. I tried the Cuban and it was delicious and filling. The bread was so buttery and pressed to perfection! Honestly one of the best Cubans I've ever had. I also tried something new to me called the Elena Ruth. It's a sweet and savory sandwich of turkey, strawberry, preservatives, and cream cheese pressed on media noche bread. Sandwiches are served with plantain chips. There is a cooler with bottled beverages if you don't want hot cafè con leche. It can get a little busy on the weekends but it well worth the wait! read more

Visited Sandrita's with the whole family based on a tip from a friend. The spot is super cute, small, and *extremely* clean. We got to meet the owner, Diego, and mom Sandrita. The staff was super friendly and the food did not disappoint we got the sopa- tender chunks of chicken with sweet potato and veggies in a soup, the Cuban sandwich, and pan con lechon. The sandwiches were super, super thin and perfectly crisp in the best way and we also really loved the flavor of the soup- it tasted just like something my Cuban MIL would make. Definitely on the more authentic end of Miami Cuban food. Will definitely return and would recommend. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Fantastic food and the service couldn't be any better. Everything is clean. Great family business.

Tried it today for the first time due to all of the recommendations on Instagram. I know so many seem to like their food but maybe they were having a bad day. My daughter and I ordered two Cuban sandwiches which took 25 minutes to make. The sandwiches were extremely overloaded and because of it the bread was soggy and the sandwiches fell apart. Cuban sandwiches aren't meant to be overloaded, especially after they've been pressed. I wanted to support a local business but I hate to say I don't recommend. read more

We love this place!! The sandwiches are amazing! The pork is so juicy & the flavor is perfect! The owners are so friendly & explained to us what was in each sandwich. She makes the desserts also. We will be eating here again! Best Cuban sandwich in town!! read more

I ordered the media noche, Cuban, cafe con leche, and flan and everything tasted as authentic as I used to get when I was a child years ago. I'd argue this is the best Cuban in Tampa! The meats were so tender and juicy. That is the best media noche I've had in a long time! The cafe con leche tasted just like how it is made at my Abuela's home! Lastly the flan had great texture and the sauce tasted delicious. The owners were super friendly and we talked for a while. The establishment was very clean and I love the ambiance. read more

I have eaten thousands of Cuban sandwiches all over--I've even baked my own Cuban bread--and this place is in the top 3, and one of the others is my grandparents' kitchen. And bear in mind that my preference is a Tampa-style Cuban sandwich with salami. But you put that Miami-style in some Tampa bread, and it's excellent, especially when you put tons of meat in it. There is so much in their Cuban that I could eat just one half, and I make the effort to eat the second one because it's so delicious. This is not like some places where you'll leave and still need a snack an hour later. They cut it on that super diagonal, press it perfectly--every single time--and it's ready to go! It has just the right crunch with no burned areas. And that's no matter who makes it there. The owners are super nice people, and very friendly! The place is great and clean. There's a perfectly large window that lets in lots of natural light, so it's a great spot. It's also an excellent place if you speak Spanish or English, or more commonly--Spanglish. As someone who's hispanic but was never taught Spanish by my family, I appreciate that I can switch to English if I need to without being laughed at. You won't regret going there unless you're vegan or something and if you are, why are you looking at this review? read more
