The "historic" Ybor City original that launched this midpriced Cuban-Spanish mini-chain is "Tampa's Taj Mahal" - you should go at least "once in a lifetime" and bask in its "beautiful", airy "garden"-like setting; otherwise, all locations are marked by generally "courteous" service and "well-prepared" food, with notable standouts being the "impressive" black bean soup and "out-of-this-world"...

The atmosphere was open, airy and lovely. Wish the food and service was the same. It was busy, we had 8 o'clock reservations and we were treated like a bother rather than customers. We were a party of 8 and it took 30 minutes to...get water, 40 minutes to get our drinks and and aps, our dinner arrived by 930. I ordered a shrimp dish and had to send it back -which i never do - but the...

Very nice family birthday celebration. Our server Arturo was excellent- very attentive and personable. We had 3:30 pm reservations- perfect time between lunch and dinner. Love the gazpacho!

Service was not up to par

The Cuban and black bean soup were ok. The 1905 salad was delicious as always!...The service was awful! I spoke with the manager the service we received and suggested more training. We’ll go back but we won’t have that server...

We each had a mojito. They were not too sweet,...which we like. For lunch, I had their 1905 salad with grilled shrimp. The salad was delicious and really didn’t need the shrimp; although, they were good. My hubby had...

Even better than I recall

What a lovely way to enjoy a Sunday lunch. Outstanding service and food. Delightful to watch the people go by also. Half 1905 salad made at the table no less, and sandwich perfect amount of food for lunch. Little gift shop if you want to...get sangria mix or salad dressing or souvenir dishes.
