The Scene
Simple table and chairs in a wide open space. In the morning, old Cuban guys sip their steaming cups of cafe con leche and chat while patrons at the take-out window pick up Cuban cheese toast and breakfast fare. At lunch, it's packed to the gills with businessmen, families, and old school Tampa folks.

The Food
Cubans, black beans and rice, Cuban toast, roast pork, breaded steak, bean soup, freshly brewed cafe con leche. The cost factor is pretty low ... you'll drop around $5 for a good meal.
