I have been coming to this place since they first opened. The staff and I over time have developed the sweetest rapport and their food is absolutely positively amazing. I highly recommend their natural fruit juices, almojabanas, their tembleque(my husbands absolute favorite), and their flans are to die for. But hurry because their baked goods are basically sold out before the day is even over! Their lomo saltado is to die for and so is their chuleta empanizada. Their chicharron is magically delicious as well as their empanadas. I absolutely love this place and the people who run it. Support small local businesses � oh and their sopa de gallina is out of this world.
Stopped by today for arroz con pollo, beef empanadas, coffee and giant chocolate chip cookies! Everything was delicious with fast and super friendly service! I will be back for sure! ��

Delicious home cooked styled Colombian food. #3 was phenomenal, beef sauted with onions and tomatoes! #1 El Cafetal combo platter was also delicious. The baked goods looked great too.

Wonderful relaxed restaurant with a great menu. Also, if you love music, this is a bonus because they play a variety of Latino music in the background.
Overall great experience. The food and service have always been great but this is the first time I have been to their location since they moved further north on Dale Mabry. The location is very open and clean. Highly recommend. Fantastic.
The best food and service. Never disappoints. Food is always freshly made, consistent and great taste. Best Colombian restaurant in Tampa Bay!
I can’t believe there is a review any less than 5 stars. Went here for breakfast on a whim and was blown away. The prices vs portion is outstanding. The flavors were amazing - I ordered the #3 breakfast and my husband the #5. The #5 is HUGE! The cafe con leche was phenomenal. We ordered a bunch of pastry’s to go and the total was $40 which is insane for how much food and flavor we got. Will be back for dinner very soon and we grabbed a catering menu for parties and meals during a busy week. 10/10
BEST EMPANADAS IN TAMPA , yellow rice was DELICIOUS. Carne asada was tough, my first time but I will definitely be back!
Small restaurant with awesome food. The beef empanadas and “arepas de huevo” are delicious. If you are looking for an affordable, quick and delicious lunch you must check out this place.
The food was super enjoyable and tasted fresh. It was more on the expensive side, but they gave a lot of food that made it worth it. It was filling. Would come back again!

Absolutely delicious food. They've got something for everyone. Extremely fresh & well made. If you're in the mood for an excellent meal that won't break the bank & have a ton of flavor be sure to check out El Cafetal. Highly recommend.
Yeli our waitress was sweet; very friendly and fantastic service! The food was to my enjoyment. Definitely a place I will return to in the future.
I have frequented this restaurant many times now. The service is consistently great; the staff is always friendly. The food is delicious too. I think they have the best cafe con leche ☕️
I visited the new location today and it was so delicious!
I had the #18 Sobrebarriga a La Plancha Encebollada and a sweet cafe con leche.
I used to walk to their old location. But, now I’ll happily drive to come eat here!
I’ve also had, and loved, their papas rellenas and their beef empanadas and love their bakery pastries as well!
ordered ham cheese and egg sandwich and café con leche. this place was opened Sunday mornings. I was thinking of going to McDonald's but I'm glad I tried this place for breakfast. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.
AMAZING! Nothing to complain about, food is great and they play the best music. Ate around 4:30pm and it was great, I was the only one in there. Other than the people that would come in for to go orders. Also everyone was nice!
Fantastic! What else can i say?
Finally noticed this lovely little place on South Dale Mabry and stopped in to grab lunch. Kathy & I ordered two Cuban sandwiches (incredibly good....reminded me of ones i used to get at the Silver Ring in Ybor so many years ago), one Cafe con Leche (no sugar for me), and a couple of bakery items including a sweet corn flat bread with cheese on it. Amazing. They're open for breakfast, lunch & dinner, so we'll be back for more and will post accordingly....i can't wait to try one of their Especial de la Casa - Camarones al Ajillo (grilled shrimp and creamy garlic sauce with rice and fried green plantains)!
A great little cafe with amazing coffee and flans (cheese flans and tres leches were good) we also got their platter which had different meats and tostones and arepas and blood sausage. Super delicious and was big enough for 4 adults.
Food was amazing. Great service! Would highly recommend this restaurant. The pork belly was nice and crispy. The chicken soup was delectable it brought tears to my eyes. I ordered the Carne Asada which came with beans, rice, coleslaw and sweet plantains. My husband ordered Fried Pork Loin with same accompaniments. All were very tasty. We enjoyed it very much. I’m in a food coma.
Ordered Cheese Bread to go from their bakery. They have several pastries and breads. Also hot empanadas that were sold out. They also make cafe con leches. Check them out and you will not be disappointed.
