SOUL DE CUBA CAFE – Restaurant

An Afro-Cuban kitchen in Seminole Heights that treats food as a way of keeping Ybor City's history in the room. The walls carry family photographs, Cuban memorabilia and Yoruba religious art; the speakers run salsa, boleros and son. On the plate: Cuban roast pork, oxtails braised down properly, a pressed Cuban sandwich, and crab shalah - plus mojitos and sangria to match. Black-, Hispanic- and LGBTQ+-owned, open Tuesday through Sunday with a Sunday brunch service. Diners consistently mention the oxtails and the sense that they've walked into someone's home.
