There was once a bright sparkly Pier 1store on the other side of this strip mall. Now I have a…read moretasty new reason to come back. Welcoming. bright, clean (Ohmygosh, it's spotless in there), with so many nods to Cuba in the decor-and of course, the menu. I didn't study the options before dropping in on a whim, so I'm sure had a deer in the headlights look as I studied the large menu. The kind man at the counter told me the whole menu was available all day. That's excellent-but uh oh, more choices! After going round and round, I settled on a bacon, egg and cheese pressed sandwich -and got it on Cuban toast-which is always good, everywhere you go-but this was especially yum. (that crunch-the butttery ripples running through it. Ohhh my) I wish I could have stayed and enjoyed it there-the couches were so comfy! But I had to take it with me. No worries, tho'. This huge (and I mean HUGE) and perfectly wrapped sandwich stayed warm all the way home. The bacon and egg were both so well cooked-I'll get it without cheese next time. Those are words I've never typed before-but the bread, bacon and egg need all the spotlight. They're sublime. I thought this sandwich was a great value, considering the size and quality. I liked the cheerful interior. There's plenty of parking. And the location sits along Bruce B Downs in New Tampa-right at the foot of the on-ramps to I-75 north and south. It couldn't be any more convenient. They have a reward program and a coffee menu that so many with love. I'll spin back up there and dine in next time. There's lots of great space to chill out and enjoy.

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.

I never knew eating meat out of a bowl made from fried plantains was an option before coming here,…read morebut now I wonder how I've lived so long without it. Came here on a Friday evening, I had no wait to order, but everything is made fresh so it took about 20 minutes. There's a couple of tables, but certainly no guarantees you'll get a seat and there isn't too much else in the area so taking it to go might be your best bet. I had two tostones rellenos, one with honey sriracha chicken and one with Latin pork. Of the two meats the chicken was my favorite, the sweet heat coupled with the mild sweetness from the plantain was fantastic. Their menu has a ton of creative options, if I lived in the area I could certainly see this becoming a staple spot of mine.

It was close to lunch time , & I figured let me order from here for my hubby and I. I ordered two empanadas - beef and crab, & two platters - one shrimp tacos for me, & a chicken skewer lunch with rice for him. While waiting, I took a pic of my pup Mocha Coconut, I bought some strawberries, avocado, and corn, & I ordered a milk shake at Boyette Fresh, the other food truck present. Finally, once my food was ready, I heard my buzzer, & brought our food home. My fave was the crab empanada. I never get this anywhere. It reminded me of a Tampa Cuban crab croqueta except a better texture with it being an empanada. My husband's fave was the chicken skewer. He said the flavor and marinade were very good. He didn't like the rice so much due to the flavor and texture and I agreed. I can't wait to try this food truck again. All were very tasty. The crab empanada is definitely a repeat.
