So glad we checked this place out! Service was top notch, great recommendations. We tried a little bit of everything and all of it was delicious!!! Loved the breakfast Cuban with guava glazed crispy pork belly, WOW. Big portions and the coffee was yummy as well! Will be back.
Went to armature works and found Hemingway Cuban kitchen. Had the La Frita and Cuban fry’s. Both were delicious. Great place to people watch and have a great meal.
Went to Armature Works with friends, and we noticed Hemingway's Cuban Kitchen and thought we'd check it out. You place your order at the bar, if you're lucky to get a seat, or at the window, and they'll text you when it's ready for pickup. We started off with Sangrias. I got blackberry, and my friends got rose peach and mango. We all really enjoyed our drinks. Then the food, the food was absolutely amazing. I had the El Ultimo sandwich, and it was delicious! The yuca fries weren't my favorite, but I'm not a yuca person anyways so my opinion may not be the best there. The order came with a cilantro garlic aioli which I enjoyed as well. Will definitely be back
Food was ok. Croquettes and the Ultimo sandwich were the standouts. Certainly not the best cuban sandwich I've had in the area but the atmosphere is cool and there are plenty of restaurants in the food hall. Lot parking is $10.
Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff. We went at the peak hour on a Saturday and sat at the bar. Cuban sandwich was great. Well balanced and super tasty and bread wasn't over the top toasted. It was crunchy but still fluffy. Good beer select and sangria. Their rice bowl was also great! Only negative I have is the price for drinks. $8 for a cup of beer and $10 for a cup of sangria. Aside from that, I will return for the food not for the drinks.
While on a campus tour of Tampa University we were told about the immigration and culture and how Tampa has become a second home of the Cuban Sandwich. So we figured it would be rude not to go get one for lunch...
A quick Google later and we decided to try Hemmingways. This turned out to be a fantastic decision!
The yuka fries were great, the steak sandwich probably one of the best I've had and the Cuban sandwich delicious. If you are in the area and need a quick bite this place needs to be right at the top of your list!
10/10 very sad that I don't live locally 😂
Very good Cubano. I ordered it without salami since an original Cubano does not have that. I also got it with no pickles since I do not like pickles. Overall, the pork was very soft and stringy as it should be. Not too salty like other places I have eaten at in the past which was good. The sweet plantains were also perfectly cooked. I did not care for the rice since I do not like cilantro and the rice which was green colored tasted like eating a fist full of cilantro. Not my cup of tea and maybe others will like it but not sure why they don't have white rice. Black beans were great as well. But overall, a great Cubano which was the main reason I went here.
YUM!!
Fantastic. Prices in line with other spots at Armature Works. Food was amazing and lemonade was great as well. Polite staff.
I’d recommend The West Tampa for breakfast.
Give it a try, leave a tip and also do a review to help others find great spots.
We’ve been to this place twice and it is good. The food taste great, service is outstanding! Not sure who is the one who checks out the mobile order at the cash register (young man about late 20s, early 30s) but he is one of the best employees I have ever come across. Both times we went, I have left amazed by him. He has a deep understanding of the menu and ingredients, please give that man a raise haha!
Pretty good! I wish they had more food options, has a lot of potential!
