Cafe Artemisa

Sorry, I have passed this restaurant 100 times and maybe seen it open 4 times. I will keep on the lookout, but either hours are really strange or owners don’t keep a schedule
Lately it appears that the restaurant has been open more frequently. Are you enjoy stopping in for a café con leche or breakfast or lunch or an early dinner. I also get dinners to go and have them at my leisure.
At times the language barrier can be somewhat of a problem if you do not speak Spanish personally no habla espanol. I have learned that through a few keywords and a form of charades I can usually get exactly what I want. The owner is very understanding of us for gringos and tries to accommodate and filler needs. This little gem offers a wide assortment of goodies. It appears our specialty is pork and/​or pig. On every visit I always see people coming in and picking up a quarter of a pig or more, so this must be the place to come in Tampa Florida. I have it on my list of things to try.
What’s a girl to do? Hey, you never know when you’re going to need roast pig for an event so it’s nice to know where to go and get it locally.

Located on Manhattan Ave, just down the block from Leto HS, is this small Cuban Restaurant which should be featured on the food channel.
The place is small and unassuming. It is clean and orderly and the food very good.
My wife ordered a third of a roast pig on the 22^nd for $ 23, and picked it up on the 24^th.
She had no complaints. It was very good. The meat was tender and came of the bone like butter.
If your in the area try them. You won’t be disappointed.
