Cubanidad 1885

Such a good place! Very kind service and great food! We met some friends from many years ago from out of town here for dinner. Not realizing how close to closing they were. They didn't say a thing, they just served us with hospitality and kindness! They even took a photo for our memories before we realized our mistake. I highly recommend Cubanidad 1885 the food and staff are wonderful! 💕

We got the Cubano sandwich. While it had the correct ingredients, the ham was very thin and had an odd taste. Other places have a thicker slice of baked ham. The staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is good. The music is good and the restaurant is clean.

The ropa vieja was delicious and so tender as well as well seasoned. The Cuban rice was done very well and was very good as well. The those tender fried plantains were awesome, nice and hot and delicious.

Spinach & cheese Empanada was very tasty. I think it’s baked because it was so soft and warm. Ybor Original Sandwich/cuban was very good! Loved every part of it! I’d come here again!

I always come here instead of the strip we eat like kings 🤴 prok soup checharrones skirt steak with authentic Cuban sauce with empanadas coconut beer and an espresso oh ya feeling good
