La Teresita
West Tampa, Tampa|$
Slide onto a stool at the winding lunch counter for enormous, wallet-friendly plates of ropa vieja, arroz con pollo, palomilla steak, and pressed Cubanos, with black beans and sweet plantains on the side. The Capdevila family has run it for over 50 years, and it stays open late on weekends. This is Tampa's Cuban comfort food headquarters.
Why our team sends guests here
Sit at the counter like the regulars and get the ropa vieja with extra plantains — portions are huge, so come hungry.
