Overall food was really good. Had several tapas options that we selected. The deviled crab was amazing. The inside and outside was decorated very nicely and try to call ahead and book a reservation, they take walk ins but you could be waiting a while

This was an incredible experience. 5 stars for flavor and generous portion sizes. I will give you fair warning, you will walk out with leftovers. We tried the black bean cakes as a starter, and they are perfect in every way. Crispy, warm, soft center, lovely flavor. It comes with sour cream and guacamole and it only adds. I had the salad which was bold and fresh, swimming in flavor. Wife had the black bean soup which was more just black beans on rice in a cup. Still quite tasty. Also (not pictured) was the Cuban bread and butter, which was light and warm. Honestly, we should have stopped here and been very satisfied. Wife had the eggplant which had a very nice flavor and crispy breading. It came with two portions, but one would be enough. The beef was tender and well adorned with peppers and onions. It came with rice and plantains. I actually thought these were the best plantains I’ve ever had. In short, if you haven’t eaten here, you should.

The bartenders were the best experience and they were very pleasant. Our waitress sarah was really nice but another waitress yelled at an old man next to us for putting bread on the wood railing and she wasn’t polite. Another waiter literally screamed like an animal to a guest next to us while we were dining and said “don’t let management see you drinking that here (he thought a customer brought a truly/whiteclaw but it was an energy drink he had finished)” which made us feel very uncomfortable. The food was not the best. I wish we didn’t eat here because it feels like the food is frozen or kept for weeks before served. The water had crumbs in the bottom too.

One of my favorite Spanish restaurants. The place is rich in Latin culture and the food is absolutely amazing! When we visit Tampa again, we will definitely will be returning. Our waiter Dakota was awesome too!!!

Do They Have a Freebie or Discount on One's Birthday?

Larry Potter | Jun 7, 2018
Steven Hernandez | Jun 8, 2018

No, but hopefully that isn't your deciding factor in choosing a restaurant. They may offer a free slice of Flan as mentioned but it's nothing they advertise or are committed to.

They have both valet and a fair sized public parking lot. Try the Lobster cake appetizer and a pitcher of Mojitos. The lobster has an amazing flavor.
