Great food and customer service!! The prices of everywhere are going up and this store has kept the original prices because they value their customers. It is very Cuban culture.
Came in a Thursday around 2:30pm . Prompt / friendly service. Got the yellow rice & chicken with plantains. Love the flavor or the rice and chicken - the plantain were soggy. However that being said - I'd definitely come back again for more food because of overall flavors. It's not over cooked and not salty. There is seating inside and friendly service.
Went there Friday for the first time and went back today, Sunday. The food was phenomenal . It's a small Cafe with buffet full of deliciousness. You can order from the kitchen as well. All orders are served in to go trays, they do have half a dozen tables if you wish to eat there, don't expect fancy just delicious . The staff are very friendly and pricing is very reasonable. Can't go wrong with this place.
Wow, Cafe Artemisa was simply extremely good. I had a great experience at Cafe Artemisa. Very delicious and also nutritious. Staff are incredibly lovely and service is really quick. Very recommended.
This is a hidden gem in a cuban area of tampa. I was craving a Cuban sandwich and we ended up stopping here. We were shocked at how cool this little spot was. First off, it was packed and everyone seemed to be a regular. That was great. They have a buffet style set up and everything looked amazing. The cuban sandwich was $5 which was insanely cheap for how good it was. They have a ton of options and they move fast. Worth checking out!
Located on Manhattan Ave, just down the block from Leto HS, is this small Cuban Restaurant which should be featured on the food channel. The place is small and unassuming. It is clean and orderly and the food very good. My wife ordered a third of a roast pig on the 22nd for $23, and picked it up on the 24th. She had no complaints. It was very good. The meat was tender and came of the bone like butter. If your in the area try them. You won't be disappointed..
