Amazing cuban sandwich . Ask for extra pickles , they skimped on those. Extra meat prob wouldnt hurt either. Open on Sundays, that was critical on the way to the airport .

Great yellow & Chicken Dinner with Garbanzo Bean Soup ! Cuban Bread & Cafe Con Lechi ????????❤️???? Yummy!! & nice Servers & Prices! ( 4 Star Rating ????????????????☕️ ☕️ ) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are in the mood for eggs , I recommend their ham and cheese omelet at a fraction of a price you'd get it anywhere else and just as tasty of not more so. Cuban food cooked the only way, with <3

Traditional Cuban restaurant/diner that has a sit down lunch counter too! A landmark in Tampa, La Teresita is open 15+ hours a day for you try Arroz con Pollo,Piccadillo, or the famous Cuban sandwich !

Jason Williams

Not only is the food amazing at a price that no one can argue with the service is as friendly as can be! I will continue to visit this establishment as long as I live in the Tampa/ St. Pete area.

My all time favorite restaurants , and definitely the best Cuban restaurant in Tampa. If you leave hungry or spending too much, it's your own fault. Always good food, and usually great service!

Taylor

One of my favorite restaurants in the Tampa area. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the prices are unbeatable. My stomach and my wallet always leave satisfied. Highly recommended.

Niccole Knickerbocker

The roasted pork with black beans and white rice is my go to favorite! One thing that I find disappointed here is the service, it's slow, and the employees seem close to miserable.

Kimmie Ohh

Get a Cuban sandwich . Portion size is huge! They have daily specials . Come here on Wednesdays for rabo encendido (oxtail )

The lunch counter La Teresita has grown into a lovely restaurant complex,with a large, lively dining room. service is swift and weekday lunch specials are recommended. Café con Leche is a must.

Tyler Peterson

Unbelievably fast service . Sit down dinner...in and out in 20 minutes... and that might be exaggerating. Plus this guy:

The Cuban sandwich is killer, the pulled pork was delicious as were the flank steak and the black beans and rice .

The food is really good and the portions are large. As for the service it could use a little work. However I can deal with it.

Pardon the English, but the Minuta Empanizada (lightly breaded fish filet ) is my favorite.

Derek Klupp

Menu is great! and great service. I will definitely come back!

John Tesmer

Filete Salteado is basically steak , sausage , green peppers , onions , and french fries all jumbled together. It's also available with chicken rather than steak . Also try picadillo and pollo ala plancha!

Everything. Love the food, prices and the service.

The bistec palomilla is superb. Make sure to save room for a flan - and order the yuca if you love garlic like I do.
