Forget the overpriced, slick Cuban places in Ybor and head west to Tampa's real Latino neighborhood. Here, you'll get the best -- and probably the cheapest -- Cuban in town. The sandwiches and dishes like ropa vieja (shredded beef) are excellent, but this place really shines when it comes to the standards. The black beans and rice is incredible (order the yellow rice) and the cafe con leche is tasty (get the large). Expect to spend around $5-$10 for a full meal, half of which you'll have to take home. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Tampa!
Pros: Great food, Cheap, Best cafe con leche
