Tareks Cafe Tampa

Best food on campus, by far. Tarek's has delicious food! Some healthy items, some indulgent items. The items I've tried and love include: 1. The cheeseburger. This thing is so perfect; it is always juicy with the right amount of cheesy-ness. I like mine with crunchy pickles inside. 2. The gyro. It's got homemade tzatziki sauce on fresh, warm pita. 3. Black beans and rice. I am Latina, and I must say that this is some of the best BBR I've had around the USF area. Tarek's kicks it up a notch with some hot sauce. If you really dig this dish, come back the next day - it's usually the soup du jour! 4. The desserts. Tarek's has home made cakes and cookies. They vary weekly and include a basic (but amazingly indulgent) chocolate cake, a slightly sweet nut encrusted carrot cake with caramelized carrot, huge morning muffins, and even cake pops! 5. The morning cheese toast. I've been eating this for years - Cuban toast on the grill, lightly buttered, with melted cheese. Perfect. I crave this stuff. 6. The tilapia. among one of my fave daily specials, served with in-season veggies from Tarek's greenhouse. 7. Last but not least, the sweet tea. Fresh brewed daily, it runs out quick!

Best food on campus!. A nice little place, with a great staff, and delicious food. it's independently owned, making it the only place you can go on campus and not feel like you're eating on campus. and they have daily specials featuring items you'll find nowhere else at USF. best place to eat at the university, by far.
