    I love the Columbia Restaurant! It's perfect for special occasions even though the meals are affordable!

    Best restaurant in Ybor for just all around dining. Love Cuban food and they serve it up! If visiting it's a must and if live here put it on the short list or you're missing out. The patio upstairs is my first stop. Enjoy

    The Columbia is part of the pride of Tampa Bay's restaurant scene. Serving delicious Spanish cuisine since 1905 - The Columbia has gone on to create success all over the bay and is a local tradition. The Ybor City location has plenty of parking, both in front and behind the restaurant, which is nice because the biggest downside to Ybor City sometimes tends to be paying for parking. The sangria at The Columbia is almost always delicious. The 1905 salad is like no other. Imitators have attempted and failed to make a similar product. The Cuban bread here is amazing - I can eat it all day long. I sometimes fill myself up completely on their delicious bread and fresh butter. The Cuban sandwiches are known as some of the best in the bay. The flamenco show has always been a hot selling point, but in my opinion has slowly declined somewhat as it strays away from traditional Spanish flamenco dancing. There just is not many places in Tampa with the history The Columbia has and that will always keep me intrigued and supportive of this family business.

    Pros: Delicious Cuban bread, awesome sangria, excellent service, good parking

    Cons: Flamenco Show has strayed from traditional Spanish roots
