πΊπΈ Tampa | 5-Day Food & Stay Guide π¦
Though Tampaβs food scene is around a 6/10 for me, the white sandy beaches are absolutely stunning π― π₯ͺ Brocato's Sandwich Shop β 7/10 Their Devil Crab is still amazing even on the last day! A bit pricey at $14, but stuffed with crab meat and peppers π¦πΆοΈ. The crispy shell is everything. Their Cuban sandwich was my favorite among the three I tried β more pork, less ham. The stuffed potato was huge but just okayβ¦ not as good as the crab bomb. π΅πͺ Aji Limo Peruvian Cuisine β 8/10 One of the better meals in Tampa! π The steak was delicious with unique spices β beyond just salt and pepper. The green pasta was meh though. Paella was good but not mind-blowing. Portions are huge! β οΈ Automatic 18% tip β just so you know. π€ Rusty Bellies Waterfront Grill β 8/10 Located in the Greek village Tarpon Springs β my favorite seafood spot! Beautiful view, tasty food, great value. Loved the mussels, grouper, and seafood bucket π. π¦ Mr. & Mrs. Crab β 8/10 A chain but so good we went twice! Their special seasoning is a bit salty but so flavorful. Perfect for a protein feast πͺ. We even got takeout to enjoy by the beach at sunset β highly recommend π . ποΈ Clearwater Seafood Spots β 6/10 Tried a few β all similar in price and taste. Fried alligator tastes like a mix of chicken nuggets and firm fish β worth a try π. Standard American fare, not the best value. π¨πΊ La Teresita Restaurant β 5/10 No-frills Cuban diner. Their Cuban sandwich has great breadβ¦ but the sandwich itself tasted kinda like a McDonaldβs burger π₯ͺπ . Other dishes were way too salty β especially the fried rice. Skip unless curious. π₯ͺ West Tampa Sandwich Shop β 5/10 Obama ate here π―β¦ but the honey-glazed bread was too sticky for my taste. Not my fav. π₯ Brick's Smoked Meats β 7.5/10 Near Ringling β saved us from more seafood! π₯© Really tasty BBQ β brisket, ribs, and sausage were all great. A bit greasy thoughβ¦ we had salad for dinner that night π. π₯¬ Bolay Fresh Bold Kitchen β 9/10 Please open in Boston!! Healthy, delicious, and super affordable β around $10 for a fulfilling bowl. You can choose purple rice or stir-fried noodles too. Absolutely loved it π. #TampaTravel #TampaFood #FoodGuide #TravelUSA
