Visit Tampa BayOctober 13, 2010A Tampa landmark covering more than a block. Open since 1905, but now Spanish paella, ropa vieja and flan are served up nightly with live flamenco shows.
Kevin RogersonAugust 7, 2014Food was amazing - the salad made fresh at the table side must be ordered. If you go and don't get salad -DUMB
Allison PlanteMarch 28, 2012Spanish bean soup is the best thing I've ever had! Save some bread to mop up the broth with! White sangria is a winner as well.
Jim AndersonAugust 20, 2012Try the 1905 Salad - "The Original" - Named "One of the 10 best places to make a meal out of a salad" by USA Today
Robert MJune 12, 2016Ropa vieja is a great honest dish that's better with yellow rice. Just like practically everything.
Mario TangOctober 4, 2014The most authentic cuban food outside of miami or cuba 1905 salad is ginormous
Brian M 🍷🐊March 25, 2012Get the 1905 Salad, Ropa Vieja, Sangria, and catch the Flamenco show! The Best Cuban food in Tampa!
The 1905 Salad is the best and I really like their Cuban Sandwich
You have to try it once. Food was good, service great, experience memorable.
Sean SmythMarch 5, 2013Seriously, one of the greatest experiences of my life. Great food, great staff......great time
Susan CollinsAugust 30, 2013Great food. Chaotic and loud atmosphere but worth it. Inconsistent service. If you visit, ask for waitress "Susan".
Christopher JuncosaSeptember 11, 2021Tapas were good, paella was not. As a spaniard the paella was a really lazy effort. It was a fun experience though.
Alice FerrisAugust 27, 2012Try the Chacho Manhattan - Chacho Bourbon, a dash of guava syrup, sweet vermouth and bitters
Mariella CoelloApril 3, 2013Tortilla Española was just ok. My uncle from Spain makes a delicious version. Sopa Gallega was good and filling. Sangria was ok too. The service was pretty slow. Venue? Great.
Must get the 1905 salad and a Cuban sandwich....yum! Oh and the table side sangria rocks too!
Michael RotgersApril 30, 2012Amazing food and great service. The shrimp supreme is Delicious with a chardonnay
Alyson DiazApril 25, 20101905 Salad, Devil Crab Croquettes, and Sangria are a MUST! Stop by the cigar shop next door too! Classic part of Tampa's History!
Jennifer SchmidtJanuary 26, 2013If you are gluten free they have a lot of gluten free dishes!!! Yum!!
RedSonja1313April 7, 2011The champagne sangria is the best thing on the planet !!!!! Everything on menu great but get it with the yellow rice
Edgar JonesApril 28, 2013Be warned the flamingo dancing is separate from the dining experience. Plan according when making RSVP
- Jim AndersonAugust 20, 2012Try the White Sangria - A staple at Florida's oldest restaurant, established 1905.
Nicole LedfordJanuary 3, 2012Everything is oh so good! I always order the palomilla and extra platanos.
Go for lunch (served till 4) and get George's Burger! Worth the effort and every penny!
