Signature Dishes That Shine

The Tampeno Sandwich: A Fresh Take on a Classic

Visitors should not miss the opportunity to savor the signature Tampeno Sandwich. This original creation draws inspiration from the classic Tampa Cuban Sandwich, featuring a mouthwatering combination of tangy pickles, crispy pork belly, salty ham, hard salami, manchego cheese, and a generous serving of aioli. According to the owners, “Together, they offer a delightful new take on the iconic sandwich served with fries.”

Albondigas: Spanish-Style Meatballs with a Twist

Another standout dish is the Albondigas, Spanish-style meatballs made with a beef and pork blend. Tampeno lightly fries these savory morsels before simmering them in a rich, creamy tomato-based sofrito sauce, infused with the flavors of tomato, garlic, onions, and peppers.

Beyond Lunch: Breakfast and Specialty Offerings

The menu boasts an array of tempting breakfast and lunch options, but perhaps none more enticing than the market’s pinwheel. This “Rollo De Churrasco” or Skirt Steak Pinwheel is stuffed with Spanish Chorizo and Gruyere cheese, served alongside their signature sofrito yuca mash, chimichurri, and mojo aioli.
