La Familia - Gainesville

The sandwiches at this restaurant are fantastic. It's a small establishment with excellent service, typically run by just one person behind the counter. The walls are adorned with plenty of intriguing historical pictures.

This restaurant serves a perfectly authentic Cuban sandwich, Tampa-style. The owner brings fresh bread from Tampa every morning, which adds to the authenticity of the sandwich. It is a must-visit whenever we are in G-Ville, and I have been asked multiple times to bring back sandwiches for others. The beef-stuffed potato and deviled crabs are also delicious options on the menu.

The Cuban sandwiches at this restaurant are delicious and comparable to the ones in Ybor Pinellas County. The staff were friendly, and we were just looking for a good sandwich, which is exactly what we got. The restaurant didn't look open from the road, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was. The area may not be the best, but we were there for the sandwich, not the ambiance. We opted for takeout this time, but we may dine in next time. The prices are very reasonable, and everything appeared clean. If you're looking for something fancy, this may not be the place for you. However, if you want good food at good prices, this is the spot for you.

I love going to this small family owned business! They have the best pressed sandwiches, empanadas and more. I get something different each time but all are my favorites! Its a cash only joint but its totally worth stopping in for lunch, you wont be disappointed!

Lived in Tampa, grew up on Ybor City cuisine.. La Familia is like home for us! The food is authentic, prepared fresh, and the service is outstanding! You will not be disappointed! Can not say enough about the food, Cubans are fantastic, can get them pressed or not! So good!!! You walk in the door and feel like you are one of the regulars.
