I recall Aguilla's on Hillsborough was crowned, but not sure if I can make it there by 4 (apparently when they close...WTF kind of Cuban sandwich shop closes at 4?). So who are the other contenders?

Croquetas de jamon - good Pan con bistec - okay Media noche - I see what you mean. My 4 yr old actually rejected his pan con bistec in favor of the media noche. Had to get him his own. Overall - A Thanks for the recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as I have no relatives in the Tampa area any longer, only in godforsaken Gainesville, it might be worth it to make a 2 and a half hour detour to grab a bite there next time I'm visiting the in-laws.
