This is one of our favorite places to eat in Tampa. Very casual with cuban flair. Location has a cafe, a bakery and counter service (my fav) The portions are generous and the price is great. Best part is that it is open 24 hours. Make sure you have cafe con leche after your meal.

This is another place that you must visit while in Tampa. They serve the best grits in the entire world. Regardess of the time of day, I have grits as one of my sides. The grouper sandwich is great. I also would encourage you to order a pancake (plain or sweet potato) to share at the table. They also have great milkshakes and pie!
