Very good (and very cheap) Cuban sandwich, but I wouldn't call it the best around. For me, Bodega is the holy grail. Regardless, this is a classic, no…

Best Cuban sandwich I've had yet as a resident of Tampa. All three of the sides I tried -- yucca fries, maduros and tostones -- were very good. And it…

Great food. The sandwich was delicious. Highly recommend if going to Tampa. Bring me one back please!
Not worth my time. Went there to see what the hype was all about, it was just that, hype. Left very dissapointed because the service is bad. The food is mediocre and the place is dirty, I don’t see any tables get cleaned or wiped down in between customers. Definitely money driven there, not customer or quality driven. I will never go back there or reccomend this to anyone I know. 🙁 its not worth the time or money, sandwich shops are in abundance in this city so go for something that’s actually worth it.
NAsty. In the last weekEditNOT EVEN My DOG WOULD EAT THIS CRAP!!!!!!! I have eaten in Tampa Spanish restaurants all my life (40 years) First , the waitress spoke no English nor did she try to communicate in English at all! Then there was the food, I ordered the Pollo Milenisa with yellow rice and plantains First the chicken was so overcooked that I had to cut off the edges to get to an edible part, there was almost no tomato sauce and the chicken was a step above T.V. dinner quality. In fact thats what it tasted like was a tv dinner breaded chicken. The rice had spots where it was dry and stuck together and also inedible. The plantains which are normal a little slimy and soft (as they should be) were over cooked and dry as a bone! Speaking of bones I usually take my left over’s to my dog it was not even worthy to be taken home to my dog! I also ordered Ham Croquettes , they were undercooked and looked they had been microwaved, mushy, no crispy outside. My Mother who goes in there regularly got breakfast and her eggs were cold and instead of pancakes she wanted toast , however our waitress could not get that straight with her inability to speak any English. The Cuban bread was also cold! SO upon leaving i was very displeased and when we rang up our $24 bill I scoffed and told the owner about how bad the food was. He did not seem to care at all, didn’t seem surprised I said it. gave us no discount nor did he offer us a dessert or coffee in lieu of a discount for the poor quality of food and service. He did apologize without looking at us and while he took our money and then apologized again with his back turned to us, he seemed to be very fake and di not care about one unhappy new customer or an unhappy existing customer. Go to La Teresita it is much better faster and fresher. And the staff and owners are very nice and concerned about their customer base. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON Big Girl Andy and his sorry sandwich shop!
Awesome cheap eats…. This place is one of those rare hidden gems you find in every city. The West Tampa Sandwich Shop serves honest and good quality Cuban cuisine in huge portions and very inexpensively.Their Cuban sandwich is among the best in Tampa. The empanadas, vaca frita and papa rellenas are great too. It sounds cliche, but I havent had an item there yet that I didnt like.If you are looking for authentic Cuban cuisine in a distinctively Tampa/South Florida setting this is your place.
The only thing comparable to the quality of food was the service. If you’re within a 50 mile radius of this place, and you love authentic Cuban food, go here. Andy and Maria are amazing. It’s good to know there are still places out there like this one! Gem.
A Tampa classic.
Average…very average. Very average food. Ok portions. Rather expensive. I do not reccommend. There are much better Cuban/Spanish places to go. I do not like some of their visitor/guests whoi show up either.
