La Completa Cubana gives you a flavorful sampling. Get the white sangria...in a pitcher . Call ahead to reserve a table for the avant-garde flamenco fusion performance . Very fun!

We go out of our way to eat here when we're in Florida. You need to get the 1905 Salad -- it's their best item on the menu IMO. The queso fundido is also pretty good -- great app for sharing.

A really nice and elegant Columbia-themed restaurant in the Ybor City . Their Cuban Sandwich and Black Beans Soup combo is heavenly delicious.

Columbia is legendary. Established in 1905, a traditional Spanish dinner awaits you! Everything is delightful, but if you must - get the Paella and try the homemade sangria ! You won't regret it.

This place is great for a night out with friends , family or date night . It has been there forever and the Cuban/Spanish food us the best you will find. Awesome decor. Make sure to gave dessert .

Iconic restaurant in Tampa. It's been open since 1905. The restaurant makes you feel like you're in the middle of Madrid. This and ceviche are the places to go for Spanish food of you're in the area.

You must order Columbia’s Original 1905 salad . You can sub ham for turkey at no charge.

#1 restaurant is Tampa! 1905 salad is a must. Red sangria is great, white is even better. Everything is delicious! Service is top notch. Building is historic and beautiful.

1905 Salad . The salad is a staple, the Black bean soup is awesome. I have been to all of the different Colombia restaurants and they're all fantastic. Great service, better food.

Everything is good but get the Cuban for the real Ybor experience. Their Cuban bread is from La Segunda, a historic and authentic bakery just a few blocks away.

This one is a must for any first-timer to Tampa. Authentic Cuban food with a great atmosphere. I like their take on their shrimp and yellow rice dish.

Never had anything bad. Have to have the 1905 salad and Cuban sandwich . The service is top notch always great

whether your a local or visiting, you need to make a stop by here drink some sangria , eat the 1905 salad , & some paella ????????????????

Spanish bean soup was to die for. The 1905 Salad was good but hyped a bit too much. Great ambiance. We got a spot at the bar and avoided the wait.

The 1905 salad is great, Mojito is great the ambiance and the service was wonderful and our desert was incredible!

I have tried most of the tapas menu and everything has been good. I love the Ropa Vieja and the fresh fish of the day is always good. The 1905 salad is HUGE as well most of their portions are big.

Had the Pollo Riojana, sangria and flan . Great food and experience! Must go when you're in Tampa.

The key lime pie is an experience that can change one's outlook on dessert . I crave this pie as none have been its equal in my travels

Top to bottom amazing. Start with the 1905 salad . Sangria , paella and the white chocolate bread pudding are a must. However, I don't think you can go wrong no matter what you order!

A trio of tapas and the 1905 salad are perfect for a date or small group. The mojito pitcher is prepared at the table and the staff is exceptional

My Heart belongs to this place, So many childhood memories. Great food, I recommend the Flan , and also an Amazing floor show on given nights.

You MUST eat here while visiting Tampa. The building is beautiful, the service is amazing as well as the food. Sangrias are to die for! Get the 1905 salad ! You won't be sorry.

Great sangria and service, lobster flatbread and soups are amazing...chorizo app and rib app a little dry and tough...paella was not authentic no crust on rice and meat over cooked

I have been to 5 star restaurants and this place is my all time favorite! The bread is amazing! The Spanish bean soup is to die for and palomilla was out of this world

Classic. At first you might think it's a tourist trap but it's the real deal. Good and service are excellent. Get the sangria .

Spanish bean soup is surprisingly good. Salteago is like a Chinese stir fry , nothing special. Bread pudding is awesome, very rich, reminds me of crime brûlée, more than enough to share.

Can help it, the bread kills me, so we share the "Ribeye " with potatoes and vegetables and of course we have to have the "white chocolate bread pudding "

Atmosphere, sangria , paella and stuffed peppers are all to die for! What a cool place that I would recommend to tourists and locals.

Always a great meal and always great atmosphere. You can dine in many different rooms and try something new each time.

Great place! Have their House Salad to die for. Romantic setting , quiet . Great Rice , Chicken , Cubans, Everything. Not really expensive

Perfect place to bring out of town guests. Outstanding Spanish food with signature items like the 1905 salad and sangria .

The (original) Cuban sandwich is a must, with a side of 1905 salad and tequila from Columbia's private barrel at Patron

The deviled crab croquette tapas was tasty yet pricey . The 1905 salad was awesome! The only negative was the prices and the service was SLOW!

Small 1905 salad , Cuban sandwich , empanadas , cup of Spanish bean soup

Tampa's grand palace of Spanish cuisine since 1905. From its flamenco dancers to its ceramic exterior, the Columbia is all color. By day, it's business lunches ; by night, a Tampa tourist draw.

Everything! 1905 salad , paella , pollo de croquetas ,, Merluza A la Rusa, sangria are a few of my faves!

Great food (even better dessert ) and selection, as well as a very interesting interior and atmosphere. Certainly recommend.

Fantastic lunch . Just plan to be there a while and enjoy the atmosphere. It takes a while to get your food but well worth the wait. :)

BEST Cuban food there is HANDS DOWN! Sangria to die for, atmosphere is incredible, and right in the middle of historic Ybor City . Family friendly

The ambiance, food and service were all great. Very accommodating.

The baked stuffed grouper with rice is amazing. The guava baked dessert is so good.

The paella was simply the best. The sangria was pretty authentic as well . It did go just fine with the paella

We are here on Christmas and there is an hour wait they are sooo packed...despite this the servers are attentive and accurate. Filet mignon cancha is incredibly good...so tender you dont need a knife

The best food! The best wine options! The best staff ! Highly recommend anything and everything.

Try the 1905 Salad - Crisp Iceberg lettuce with julienne of baked ham , natural Swiss cheese , tomato , olives , grated Romano cheese and garlic dressing

The Cuban bread , paella , chicken & yellow rice/black beans, & 1905 salad are all very delicious!!

Great menu. I try to order something different every time I'm there. Sizable portions too.

Lovely lunch atmosphere. It gets pretty busy, so try and get there early.

Stuffed pepper tapas with 2 seafood choices & mojitos a good way to go

I love the wall recognizing employees here. Some have worked here 50 years! Great ambiance.
