The Original IGYS Sandwich Shop — Restaurant in Tampa

I travel to Tampa often for work , and because of the Rich Cuban heritage nearby in Ybor City , I figured “ Well, when in Rome ! “ … Since I live in New Orleans , there is a vast Vietnamese culture here and because of that I have been exposed to incredible Phö , and spring rolls - cuisine unique to Vietnam .

I decided to try my hand at Cuban cuisine because other than the beautiful Cuban culture that’s prominent in Miami , Tampa has got to be up there to right ??

Well I tried some different places and they were all legit BUT - Igmaras delivered the Absolute best Sandwich Cubano I have ever had !!!

The staff were so awesome ( inside and out ) and the price and portion size was unbeatable. Sadly , I haven’t been back to Tampa in a few months and I am Jonesing for my Cuban Sandwich!!!!!!! I haven’t tried Anything else on their menu because I just love the Cuban sandwich so much but I am sure that everything else that they make is just as good .

This is a wonderful place and it’s very quaint and quiet and clean that I go there every time I’m in Tampa and each time that a coworker goes with me I’m like come on buddy , I have a place for you to try !!

Anyone traveling to the area for vacation or work or maybe someone that lives in the area you definitely need to look into this place and on that note if you travel quite a bit try to get into some of the local cuisine wherever you are at I think Cuban food is my favorite...

From my understanding this is the granddaughter of Willie who owned Willie's Place on 21st Street not related to Uncle Willie's that was further down 22nd Street I used to always get these places confused but I used to love that sandwich from Willie's Place when I worked at the Port Authority and my father had a lot of great stories when he was a dredge welder going to the other Willys Uncle Willie's and of course everybody has memories of going to Stoney's none of this is still here but at least there's one sandwich left from all of these great memories the Willie's special and it's absolutely worth your drive, and don't forget to try a mango shake ever since we lost Havana Village I don't know any other...

Not sure what has happened here but this morning I ordered biscuits and gray and corned beef hash. She put it in one of those little single containers. Hardly enough gravy for 1 biscuit let alone 2,a little bit of hash and charged $9. I should have said something but I didn't, my bad.. The last couple of times I've been here for breakfast it seems to take longer to get a sandwich, the girls don't do a very good job of getting food to you in order. I realize somethings are quicker than others but when a room full of people who've ordered breakfast sandwiches get their food not in the order they came in, someone's not paying attention. Food quality is good just pay attention to what they charge vs...
