The restaurant has a set of choices for their Special of the Day. I had the Tuesday chicken, recommended by our server Carlos. If you can get Carlos, get seated at one of his tables. Good fast service.
Delicious Cuban food!! Yellow rice and fried plantains were very yummy. The chickpea soup was a little bland but I added salt & pepper to it and it wasn’t too bad after that.The roast had a lot of flavor!!! So good! We’d definitely go back. Wish I had room in my belly to try the coffee but the portions were huge. We had plenty of leftovers
Authentic decent food with nice staff and service. I am surprised by the high rating here - the food is ok but nothing to write home about. The red bean sup was actually a pleasant surprise! The spices were on point and the bread that came with it was a nice touch. This was my first ever cuban sandwich and maybe I had too high of am expectation but I don't understand the hype. It's toasted sandwich with cheese, cold cuts, lettuce and tomatoes - very simple, and it was just ok here.
This place may have been nice 15-20 years ago. But it is in dire need of some updating/cleaning. The carpet, walls, tables, basically all surfaces need someTLC, there is a ton of staff, they should be cleaning. In regards to the food, the fried items like yuca, tostones and my chicken tasted of old oil. This place needs a total reset from kitchen to the main dining room.
Great food, sangria was yummy & great atmosphere! Live music too!
I recommend everything. Food is delicious and large portions. Its never a disappointment!!
I can't say enough good things about La Terresita! This place is so yummy! Great food, great prices, great service! Perfect! We always go when we are in Tampa. This time we tried the chicken with yellow rice. Absolutely delicious! The Cuban bread that comes out before your meal is yummy too! Highly recommended!!
One of the few places I can think of that exceeds the hype. Deborah was amazing and we appreciated all her recs. The entertainment was amazing, ambiance perfect, and food not only affordable and tasty but portions were generous. This place is a gem
Best place in town for reasonably priced Tampa Cuban food. The warm bread is amazing!
This establishment did not dissapoint. Countertop style service that is quick and friendly. The food is delicious. 3 of us got a huge amount of food for about 50 bucks. Great selection, great food. Daily specials. The chicken and rice and ropa vieja were fantastic. I enjoyed the tamales and platanos. Some flan for dessert and a coffee really seals the deal. There is a small bakery attached where you can get some cheap, tasty postres. Muy rico!
