Caramba Cuban Sandwich - St. Petersburg

The restaurant is misrepresented in their listings. On Google, they share the same phone number and address as Pipo's Cuban Cafe, which I love and find fantastic. However, the website correctly lists them as Pepo Cuban, and unfortunately, they do not live up to expectations. I'll post a picture of my meal to illustrate. A proper Cuban meal should include generous portions of roasted pork with every few bites. Both my colleagues and I, who I had convinced to try this spot based on my positive experiences at Pipo's, were left disappointed at lunch. There was barely a sliver of pork, and the empanadas were incredibly thin. I’m not asking for a refund or anything, just sharing my experience!

We visited this no-frills Cuban restaurant during Labor Day week and absolutely loved it. The food is slowly cooked, boasting authentic flavors at great prices with generous portions. We highly recommend supporting this local gem! We tried the mofongo, picadillo, plantains, and ham croquettes, and everything was fantastic.

Real Cuban sandwich with all those flavors. Ample free parking. Menu offers many favorites as well as American offerings like lettuce and tomato on the Cuban sandwich. Rich pork and ham flavors on a great toasted bun. Wrapped in foil and paper of course. Took me back to Little Havana in Miami.

The food was excellent. I had the Mojo Roasted Chicken and my wife had the Pepos Wrap and both dishes were delicious.

Have been here under prior ownership. Was good then. Today, will not be returning. Food undercooked even after second trip to kitchen. Check photo of hash browns after sent back to kitchen. No cheddar cheese. Not clean. Definitely a pass. I eat in a lot of dives. This one is a no go.
