I have been wanting to go to the Floridian Sandwich shop for quite a while. Today was the opportunity, the angry Cuban Sandwich has been on my list. I will say it was good, really good, as a fan of cuban sandwiches and Matouks Calypso sauce, I felt this was an awesome fusion. No disappointment! The "angry" sauce added a profile like no other cuban sandwich. I would, if in the area probably do it again. Edit...4 to 5 stars for prompt owner reply
Not the cleanest place to visit. The sandwich was good, still, not the best. The lady was attentive and nice. The place looks tired, it needs updates to todays restaurants standards.
Definitely the best dang Cuban sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Been going here forever. Get the large combo deal — large Cuban with ham, pork, salami, pickle, special mustard-mayo mix hard pressed. Get the twice-fried hand-cut French fries and a fountain drink. My wife Karen and I went there Saturday October 12 and server Kay made us the absolute best Cuban combos we have ever had. She deserves a raise for her dedication and hard work. Don’t want a Cuban? They have perhaps another dozen sandwich options. Owner Harold Seltzer also offers great salads, soups, yellow rice and much more. He’s on the premises every week and responds quickly to any concerns. The Floridian also offers a free combo deal. You get a punch card and one punch each time you buy a combo. You get a free combo after you fill the card. It’s definitely my favorite sandwich shop.
YUM!
Cuban sandwiches are very good. Longtime customer due to the good food.
As a Cuban sandwich connoisseur I can’t get enough of these sandwiches. I’d rate their sandwich very high. They offer it with the traditional toppings or with lettuce, tomato, etc. There other offerings are great as well.
Prices are not too bad for the area. It’s great they offer different sandwich options for which is great if your price conscience. I do wish they had large drink options (only offer one size). Additional parking in back which is where I always park. Easily take the back door inside.
Give it a try and leave a rating to help others.
This is one of many of my Fav Cuban sandwich spots. Haven't been to Tampa in a few years and I'm happy to say it was a good day the day I came because Kay was on shift. She made me one of the best pressed Cuban Sandwiches I have ever tasted.Thank you Kay...you are truly awesome...I'll be back soon...(hopefully you are there)
Great little sandwich shop tucked away on a small and unassuming strip mall. Known for one of the best Cubans in town and I agree. The sandwiches are offered as 7” ($6.49) or 10” ($8.99) so you can grab a light lunch plus a cafe con leche for under $10. I feel like every time I stopped I saw a table of people on their lunch break as it’s the kind of local place you can get a great quick and inexpensive lunch. It’s still got the feel of an unknown neighborhood spot. I need to come here more and try everything else on the menu too.
GOTTA TRY - FINEST CUBAN SANDWICH ON THE PLANET. This place is great. The Cubans - what they are known for - are sooo good. Great fresh bread, crispy pickles, great ham - all of it goes together so well. The homemade fries and dip/gravy were great accompaniments. Great staff. If you are in the area, hit up the Floridian - you won’t be disappointed!
This place lives up to their tagline the home of the "Finest Cuban sandwiches on the planet"
Thoroughly enjoyed the Cuban
Ham, mojo spiced pork, Genoa salami, Swiss cheese, dill pickles with mustard/mayo mix on Cuban bread.
Got a great recommendation from one of the great employees to try the Deviled Crab. Outstanding!
Visited the Tampa/Clearwater area with my family this past weekend and I wanted to try the best Cuban sandwich I could find. Some of the reviews here made me nervous but I still went. Upon entering, we were greeted with a smile and our order was taken by a new girl that was training. She was VERY helpful and gave us good suggestions. My daughter is SUPER picky with food and she ate ALL of her turkey sandwich. My first Cuban sandwich was AMAZING!!! The bread, meat, everything tasted fresh and very flavorful. I had the yellow rice and black beans and they were even better!! Everyone was so super stoked with the food they got, I cannot recommend a better Cuban sandwich!!
I tried the cuban for the first time after reading all the reviews. I wouldn't say it the best cuban on the planet, but maybe if they put real roast pork on it like most places do, instead of deli pork it would come a lot closer.
