Bodega on Central
Bodega has the best fast casual Cuban fare in town, from Cuban sandwiches and fabulous fritas (fries), to vegetarian dishes that could convince hardcore carnivores to make the switch. The café con leche is one of the finest in St. Pete. For those looking for a healthy choice there are fresh-squeezed juices and smoothies like the “Greengo,” a green juice with kale, apple, cucumber, cilantro, and guarapo. Service here is via walk up window. Bodega’s Mediterranean sibling, Baba, 2701 Central Ave. (eatatbaba.com; 📞727/954-3406) is, uh, a-meze-ing, too. Heh.
