La Teresita Restaurant

La Teresita is one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa! I’ve ordered the palomilla steak probably 20 times, and it never disappoints. Today, I tried the steak sautéed with peppers and onions, and it was fantastic. Their yellow rice and black beans are phenomenal, the ham croquettes are incredible, and they make a fantastic Cuban sandwich. Everything is authentic and consistently delicious. I would eat here every day if I could! A must-visit for authentic Cuban food in Tampa.

Counter service was a real treat. The masitas, caldo gallego, and gongri were amazing. The Cuban bread, delicious. Finished it off with a decaf cortadito. Can’t beat the price either. Friendly staff. Will return.
