Specializing in generous sandwiches and fresh salads, Simply Delicious is the perfect spot for those craving bold, satisfying meals made with quality ingredients and bursting with authentic taste.

At the center of their menu is the iconic Cuban Sandwich, available in traditional and house-style variations. Each sandwich is a symphony of flavors—layers of roast pork and ham, perfectly pressed within crusty bread. The house Cuban is a meat lover’s dream, piled high and complemented by fresh lettuce, tomato, and a tantalizing sub sauce that elevates each bite.

Flavor lovers will appreciate the sensory delight of biting into a sandwich where savory, tender meats meet crisp pickles and tangy mustard or sub sauce, creating a balance that dances across the palate.

    Meatloaf sub hands down best meatloaf I've had as well as a buddy of mine who doesn't like meatloaf. He's had it twice now. This is the business you want to support and keep around.

    10/10 for me — and a new indulgent lunch staple! Need a lot to eat but want to save money? Go here. The portion sizes are >>>> I absolutely loooved the food top to bottom. I got a mini salad with chicken and it was divine! sooo indulgent and flavorful, seasoned downnn and packed to the brim. and all for $12! Fresh ingredients and great combinations. The Cuban was deliciousss and a fresh take on a classic. I knew what time it was by how heavy the bag was. The meat was succulent on the salad and sandwich, I fell in love. The sandwich was a little soggy and hard to eat later, I would probably get it without the tomato/lettuce to make it easier to reheat but that’s a small thing. I will definitely be back!

    The traditional Cuban sandwich was good, but way too much meat IMO. What I like about Cubans is the balance of bread, pickles, mustard, and meat. This sandwich is basically just meat. You definitely get your money’s worth though! Order ahead. Waited ~20 minutes for one sandwich after ordering at the restaurant. No seating here, takeout only.

    A hidden gem but not to locals, the other guests in lines raved about this place on my first visit. This place was fantastic. The portions are out of this world, and you can’t beat the price. The house special Cuban is fantastic, huge, piled with so much meat. The mini salad was far from mini, it served as 3 meals. Piled high with toppings and meat. Service was through a small window, no indoor seating but nothing takes away from the fantastic food and service. Nothing was missed with this visit. We’ll surely be back.

    Wow... I have seen the pictures of the Cuban Sandwich online. They looked delicious and I was not disappointed. Their Cuban sandwich is huge and freaking delicious. Price was average for a sandwich that size, but this one has more substance and taste great. The only downside side was, it is pick up only and they were only accepting cash. Definitely recommend a stop by, well worth it!

    Just moved to the area and decided to give this spot a try, and HFS, the chicken with rice and beans might be the greatest cuban chicken with rice and beans ive ever had. Everything was flavorful and at a hefty $18 price tag I was hoping to get my money’s worth and i definitely did and more. They packed this thing like I was their son heading off to college. Cant wait to try the rest of the menu.

    This place was so amazingly good. Great, friendly service that goes the extra mile. Humungous portions. Insanely good prices. Warms my heart to see places like this still exist. Let’s keep em in business!

    As soon as I held this 8-pound Cuban sandwich from the bag, I knew I was in for a treat. That does not even begin to describe the ecstasy that my taste buds went through. Hands down the best Cuban sandwich in Tampa bay. Cash only, but well worth the trip to the ATM.
