Well I went in there I got a Cuban it looks would be about a 10-in Cuban average size I mean it was tasty but salty salty salty taste and probably two and a half pieces of sliced ham and then the roast pork that was homemade that wasn't no package deal and then I don't know there was salami I didn't see any and then lettuce and tomato I mean it was an okay sandwich but for the price of $11.39 that's over a dollar an inch for a Cuban sandwich that if you want to kill your liver eat one or two a day this is second time I've been on the south side I went down to the Old Cherokee store right there on himes everybody told me it had a Cuban sandwiches I go in there and I get a Cuban no pickle again I get to my third bite into my belief as I'm taking a bite and I'm pulling a sandwich away from my face behold this long gray hair follows my face so as you can say I didn't go back there there's only two places I've found to really get a true tasty Cuban sandwich without killing your freaking pocket one is Coco's down there by hookers point yes and Ricardo's Coco's that's going in for lunch or breakfast Ricardo's that's dinner or lunch for two Coco's you'll spend $8 on a Cuban or $8 on a breakfast sandwich Ricardo's just spending $12 but that $12 on that Cuban sandwich is too at Gino's I just see it like I see it

Glad to find this place. After dropping an Uber rider off nearby I found myself 60 miles from home facing rush hour and an empty stomach, not a happy thought. Google to the rescue! On my way out of South Tampa was Gio's. I love Cuban food (ok, I love almost all food). Easy to get to, with decent parking. The specials listed on a big blackboard, sandwiches & meals. I had the Ropa Vieja meal. 2 sides, bread & iced tea for $11. Yum. Absolutely delicious. The counter service is easy enough but the utensils & butter required asking about. Seems they do quite the take-out service as well though there is plenty of seating inside & a few tables outside. I'd come back for sure.

This is a hometown (Tampa) type place serving traditional cuban dishes in a cafeteria line style restaurant. Typical meals include Boliche, Picadillo, Milanesa Steak, and Cuban sandwiches. They also serve breakfast on weekends at the South Tampa location only. We had the breakfast cuban which is served with 3-egg omelette, and your choice of meat and cheese, pressed perfectly on authentic Cuban bread. It's a crowded lunch spot, so if you go allow a little extra time.

I have never left a review on any place before but I had to this time....we live in Tampa, some of the best cubans around can be gotten here for 5 bucks and totally worth way more. I will pay top dollar for a good cuban!! Unfortunately thats not what i got here. I asked for extra pickles and got a total of 4 on the entire sandwich and when we got the sandwich the outside was barely toasted...which if a place is busy I can excuse that but we were one of 3 ppl inside so there was no rush . when I opened up the sandwich i was hard pressed to find any roast pork inside and all the meat was piled in the middle to make it look like alot of meat...they failed !! when we got the bill for 2 cubans and 2 cans of soda we were first given a bill for 30 dollars but had her fix it when clearly that was wrong...which should have been easier then it was... We still paid 22 dollars THEY SURE ARE PROUD OF THEM!! !! I paid 1.25 for "EXTRA PICKLES" and 1.79 for a can of soda which was rang up as jupina on the receipt...NOT WORTH IT AT ALL!! My husband was born and raised here and he said it was the worst cuban he has ever had. From now on we will stick to what we know and go to our regular places. I Dont recommend wasting yiur...

I am never and I mean NEVER coming here again... I walked in and no one even greeted us. It was my first time here and the set up is a little confusing. I walked in and went up to the counter and I was looking at the breakfast menu and the guy with highlights he was very rude he said with a really bad attitude "we are not making breakfast".

My wife ordered a media noche and I had gotten rice, beans, with pork. I asked him to get me white rice and he went for the yellow rice. When my wife ordered a media noche he rolled his eyes and said ok.

The cashier rung us up and she had the biggest attitude. I had asked her for some toast she charged us we sat down to eat and after we finished I went up to the cashier and told her we never got the toast. She rolled her eyes and shook her head she looked at the guy with the highlights and said "you didn't get the toast." He yelled and said "for who?" And she pointed at my table and said "that table over there." My wife was looking at the guy and she said he rolled his eyes and shook his head. When we finally got our toast it was pieces of old bread. It didn't even have butter. Save your 20 bucks and go somewhere else. This place is...
