Okay my rating is on the Cuban Sandwich only. The worst Cuban Sandwich I have EVER had. EVER!!! No salami, massive amounts of chipped ham and a very thinly sliced piece of pork, so thin it was almost one sided. So it was basically it the Cuban sandwich was chipped him, a very little swiss cheese, mustard and pickle. That was almost tolerable but the bread was soggy. UGH! I just don't know about those 5 star reviews...but take them with a grain of salt or wonder how much they were paid or are they family because this was not even eatable, I ended up throwing the soggy mess away. BTW I’m from Tampa and I KNOW what a good Cuban sandwich is all about. This place didn’t even come close. I read a review from someone who said it was best Cuban, he needs to come to Tampa to get a real Cuban sandwich. This is horrid.
I do have to say that my service was pretty good, but wasn't busy a couple of tables were full, I was the only person sitting at the bar. Also the trashy, disgusting videos really need to go...not nice for families to see almost bare woman twerking on music videos. I guess its okay if you like to watch women...
Read moreI've been here a few times and so far I really enjoy it! I prefer to come right after they open in the morning. I sat at the bar to order food to go. While I was waiting I ordered an espresso to drink right there. The waitress was attentive and very pleasant! She recognized my family when we walked in and gave us a nice greeting! The food did take a while to get done, but that's why we ordered espresso! It was delicious as well! Better than anything I could get at a Starbucks! I imagine all places have their ups and downs and some good people working and some crappy people working so if anything was wrong with my experience, I would be honest and yet still give them another try. I am not a regular here, but my parents are. Because they have only had consistanly good things to say, and the few times I have been there I only had good experiences, I will highly recommend this...
Read more"Wow, what a culinary experience! I recently dined at Azúcar Cafe Restaurant and was blown away by the flavors, service, and authenticity of this Cuban gem. From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and welcoming staff made us feel like family.
The food was incredible - we ordered the Congrís, Ropa Vieja and tostones and every bite was a taste sensation. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable.
What truly sets Azúcar apart, however, is the passion and love that goes into every dish. You can tell that the chefs are dedicated to preserving the traditions of Cuban cuisine while also innovating and pushing boundaries.
If you're a fan of Cuban food or just looking to try something new, do yourself a favor and get to Azúcar ASAP. Your taste buds...
