This is key. If you are putting Gordo's sauce on everything, it explains why you don't like it.
I love Gordo's, but Cool Beans was the tits Cuban joint, if it is still around.
Gordo's is good but it doesn't beat the Cuban/Spanish food that I can get in Tampa.
Only folks who speak about them self in third person don't like Gordos....
Gordos is good...as long as you’ve never had Cuban food in Central Florida (Tampa especially and La Teresita in particular), South Florida or the Keys. So if you’re from North Florida and your idea of Cuban is a sub from Publix...it’s good.
Honestly, I never go there unless drug there by friends. I’d rather wait until I’m back in Tampa or even Orlando and get some quality Cuban.
So yeah, in my mind Gordo’s is by far the most overhyped restaurant in Tally. Because they make a barely adequate Cuban shop that wouldn’t last five mins in Tampa or even Miami and make it out to be a five star restaurant. And honestly, I don’t even think their Cuban sammy beats Publix....if it does it’s not by much and only because they slather the bread in butter.
What’s your favorite in Tampa? I’m partial to La Teresita but if I just want a Cuban sandwich, some ropa Vieja, a Devilled Crab, and/or a stuffed potato I’ll hit up The Cuban Sandwich Shop on N Florida Ave.
Never went to Gordo's expecting an "authentic Cuban experience" so I've never been disappointed. Just a decent sandwich shop IMO. Only problem I've had there is when I ask for yuca fritters half the time they bring out regular fried yuca. Just results in me getting free fried yuca to go along with my fritters.
Is it true Gordo's invented the Cuban sandwich?
Its just you, Gordos is a great college eatery.
Ha, well theres your issue, 1) who would want to go to Miami area, much less South Beach? 2) If I was trying to get authentic Cuban food, I'd skip that dump and go straight to Cuba. It'd be cheaper and you are less likely to get car jacked.

Showing your age there brother....I lol’d reading that, thinking how many threads used to end with catch phrase.
Gordos is pretty good, but a couple of folks on this thread have professed love for Jim & Milts. I consider them to be delusional.
idk, I find Tampa or South Florida a little far to drive when I want lunch, so I go to Gordo's.
