Ybor City Food Tours is the first YEAR-ROUND guided walking tour that combines food and fun. We take you through a food adventure that will explore the historical facts about our town and indulge your taste buds with the most delightful food in Tampa!
Chicago is known for it’s hot dogs, and italian beef sandwiches, New Orleans for it’s po’ boy, New York stakes it claim on it’s pizza. So what’s the “bragging rights” of Tampa? The Cuban Sandwich!!
The Cuban Sandwich was originally called the “mixto-ham, roast pork, swiss cheese, mustard – and made for Ybor City cigar workers” Sicilians and immigrants from other parts of Italy joined Spanish and Cuban immigrants in the cigar factories, and Genoa salami was added, transforming the “mixto” into the Cuban Sandwich. But it is the bread from La Segunda Central Bakery that makes an authentic Cuban Sandwich.
We experience this great tasting sandwich along with introducing you to other iconic foods of Ybor City from 5-7 restaurants, which help make this a mouth-watering tour.
Join us as we walk and savor the traditional tastes of Ybor City along with new and exciting food experiences.
