Raúl: Arco Iris is a small, family run restaurant, the kind of place we like. It's located in the heart of one of the older Cuban sections of Tampa, not far from the airport.

Jorge: Arco Iris means rainbow in Spanish, and this small place will give you a very warm feeling. The restaurant is bright and airy and the service is prompt.

Glenn: Here you'll find many of the traditional Cuban favorites, all made with loving care in the kitchen. From the creamy frijoles negros to the delicious garlicky yuca, the cooks here know what they're doing and they don't take any shortcuts.

Raúl: They have good sandwiches here and a lot of people come for lunch. Their breaded grouper sandwich is very nice, the breading is crisp and the fish is tender and juicy. Get a fish sandwich with a side of frijoles negros and you have an excellent lunch!

Raúl: The Pechuga a la Rusa is a Russian style chicken breast. The Russians never did anything good for Cuba -- except giving us another way to cook chicken.

Raúl: If you want steak, why not get a Cuban steak? The palomilla steak is great , a plate-filling cut of meat smothered in fried onions.

Jorge: All of the dishes are very good and the prices can't be beat. This is one place where you can feed the whole family and eat a nice dessert too without breaking your budget.

Glenn: Whatever you order, expect to get a huge plateful. Just pace yourself and plan on bringing home some leftovers.

Raúl: Let me tell you that the people here are very friendly. They really make everyone feel at home.

Glenn: Great service, delicious food, and bargain prices -- what more can you ask for?
