Ybor Grille

Nice and clean restaurant. This is a one time visit, they charge extra for everything (.35 for lettuce .35 for tomatoes if you order a sandwich and $2.00 for chips). The food was just ok. The steak sandwich didn’t have any flavor. Not authentic Cuban rice and beans. The Ropa Vieja was good. The portions were ok for the price.

Great Cuban food! We had a late lunch. We were seated quickly and served within a reasonable amount of time. Family oriented atmosphere with a cool vibe. Plenty of room for a small group. Very affordable. House made Sangria w/sugar rim was my favorite part. It was mildly sweet and very tasty. Cuban sandwich was good and met our expectations. Chicken mojo was a bit dry for my preference, but it still good. I think it really depends on who’s in the kitchen preparing the food. It’s easy to slightly overcook chicken breast, especially if it’s been marinated in a citrus brine. I asked for a side of dipping sauce for my chips and also put some on my mojo chicken sandwich. They brought out a small homemade salad dressing. It was good. Spanish potatoes are not the kind that have been cubed and cooked with sofrito red sauce. They are a house made potato chip w/a sofrito blend seasoning. Restaurant appeared to be clean. Bathrooms could’ve been a bit cleaner. All in all, we had a good experience and would return with other guests.

A nice little place that seems to be a fusion between Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Tex-Mex. Unfortunately they don’t really specialize in either one it seems. The food is definitely tasty though. The servers are super friendly which was nice. As for food, we loved the plantains, the tres leches cake, the bread pudding is the best I have ever had, the ropa vieja is super tasty, as well as the roasted pork, and the palomilla steak sandwich was really nice. The fried grouper had some of the best cream sauce I have ever tasted Some food we thought could use improvement was the devil crab appetizer and the picadillo was kinda bland and dry for us. Anyways, we probably would come back again at some point!

I've been driving by here for a while. I decided to try it. The place is nice and quaint. The service was good and my server was attentive. My palomilla steak sandwich was very good. My other choice, a Cuban was ok. It was hot on the outside but cold inside. Tasty none the less. I'll go back to try other items!
