Cuban Breezes: A Taste of Authentic Cuban Cuisine in Tampa

The food was good. Some authentic Cuban dishes. I had the Cuban eggrolls but it was, like too many things, deep fried. My Havana burger was very good. I will go back and try a more traditional Cuban dish before making a final review. The wait staff was excellent.

We noticed Cuban Breezes when driving home and decided to get take out. Upon looking over their menu, we were pleasantly surprised. There are a lot of options and you can’t beat the price point. The Cuban sandwiches are excellent along with beans and rice. We’ve also tried the Steak Philly, Cuban Dip, Prime Rib Dip and fries. Everything is flavorful and delicious. You can request changes to the sandwich if there is something you don’t like. If you stop in for take out, it’s usually about a 15 minute wait for them to cook it. We will continue to order from Cuban Breezes.

Pretty nice spot for authentic Cuban food. Good menu options at affordable prices. You can find something for everyone. Everything tasted fresh, and I highly recommend the blackened mahi mahi it was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The desserts were really out of this world, the flan was excellent, and we loved the guava and cheese empanada.

Despite quite a few recent one star reviews we decided to take a chance on Cuban Breezes last weekend and are so glad we did. Highly recommended. The restaurant was almost full when we entered but we were soon greeted with a smile and within a few minutes a small booth was cleaned and ready. Our server was Maddie and she could not have been better, friendly, professional, attentive and knowledgeable. Their website mentions a meatloaf Cuban, which I immediately had my heart set on, but sadly it turns out this is only available occasionally as a 'Special' and Maddie said it usually sells out pretty quickly. We ordered yuca fritters, a Cuban, a Hawaiian Cuban (which yes, sounds a little crazy) tostones, congri (think Cuban dirty rice) plus a chardonnay and an ice cold beer. The food came out in a timely manner and everything was hot, well prepared and delicious, at least as good as any Cuban we've had in Fort Myers, Miami or the Keys. We both love a good Cuban sandwich, or its even sweeter cousin, the Medianoche, but agreed with Maddie that the Hawaiian Cuban is our new favorite, sort of the Cuban version of tacos al pastor. Our whole experience could not have been more positive (maybe a few less F-Bombs from the kitchen staff). Great food at fair prices, cheap beer and a friendly staff! Give Cuban Breezes a try and, as for Maddie, ask for her by name. You won't be disappointed.

Had a chicken sandwich, came with onions and the small crunchy fries, it was pretty good. They give you sauce to dip it and that makes a difference in flavor. The burger was huge and delicious. What we thought was amazing was the Cuban roll. It's like a Cuban sandwich inside an egg roll, we dipped it in sauce and.. Well .. man we enjoyed it ! Loved the concept!! Yes this place has gotten better, decor is good (could be better) and staff is nice and friendly. Sure we'll come back again.

The food was excellent. I always find and meet kind and nice people to serve us especially America and Antonio they always smile help and are ready to answer any quesiton we have. I love the place and its atmosphere. I recommend it 100%.

Chicken Philly with onions, peppers and cheese, seasoned fries and Havana sauce, so delicious. One of my favorites!

Cuban Breezes is so consistently good you can count on a great meal every time you come. We have been customers for over 20 years and will continue to come back. The Cuban sandwich is a staple and steak and cheese empanadas anytime they are on the menu. Don't forget to ask for the havana sauce. Service is always great even when they are busy.
