I used to live about 2 miles from Brocato's as a child in Grant Park in the 70s and 80s. My mom would go to the grocery store and come back with Cuban sandwiches and/or stuffed potatoes. I've had Cuban sandwiches from many different sandwich shops around the Tampa Bay area, but nobody.....NO-body touches Brocato's. They give you a sandwich... more

Pass on the black beans and rice, I'm pretty sure paste would have more flavor. Devil crab and potato rolls are very good, definite high points of the menu and worth returning for. The sandwiches are huge, no question about it, but the meat is cheap and flavorless. If not for the condiments there would be no flavor at all.... more

I've been going to Brocatos sandwich shop my whole life...since the 80s when Mr.(Joe) Brocato sponsored my dad's church softball team. It is the best place to get a good lunch for a low price. Even after all these years, they haven't sacrificed on quality and the food has stayed delicious...and exactly as I remember it from childhood. The cuban,... more
