Best Spanish Restaurants in Brandon

What a pleasant surprise . I’m a little slow because I thought Vizcaya closed a few years back ( saw their restaurant on N Dale Maybry was demolished ) and that was that . Little did I know until about a month ago it’s still alive and cooking in SoHo now 👍🏾 Much smaller space than before but still great food and amazing staff.

The food is really good, amazing flavours. It is loud inside, we decided to seat outside and it was very nice. The service was longer than expected but it was Valentine’s Day so it was good to stay a little bit longer. They brought the food one at a time which I found odd.

This was our first time dining at Spain Restaurant and Toma Bar. We ordered 3 tapas accompanied by red sangria. The food was all delicious. We had the steak and mushrooms tapa, the scallops and cheese sauce tapa and vegetarian paella. Service was welcoming and timely. It's a little noisy but that just adds positive energy. We would highly recommend!

My husband and I got got stuck in every traffic jam between Sarasota and Tampa and called the restaurant twice to let them know we would be late. Stephanie was most kind and provided assurance they would do the very best to accommodate us. We arrivied an hour late but Julia greeted us and worked magic getting guests seated quickly. Our server Sky was attentive and took extra care with a special request i made for the Paella. Food was superb and I can not say enough about the wonderful staff! We left with our tummy's full and a wonderful remembrance. A Happy 40th Anniversary card signed by the staff. Highly recommend the Columbia Cafe on Water Street in Tampa, check out their other locations too! To everyone at Columbia Cafe thank you for making our 40th Anniversary EXTRA special!

Every year we meet friends here & enjoy a Spanish / Cuban meal in one of many rooms of this historic restaurant. There are three large parking lots, a gift shop and always a wait. Today we discovered that the restaurant is expanding and taking over the gift shop. The gift shop will be moving across the street. We always start with the sangria which Victoria prepared table side in a Spanish pitcher. The warm bread & 1905 salad is excellent. We shared 4 small devil crab croquettes, beef saltedo & we finished by sharing a warm white chocolate bread pudding. Portions were huge & prices reasonable. Our lunch was delicious. All four of us devoured our meals. We went next-door into the gift shop with a sell, their beautiful pottery, tiles, wine, cigars, cookbook, and ingredients
