So great! Free unlimited tasting of the different Cuban sandwiches all day long. There was plenty to eat, cold free beer on tap, nice shady places to sit, and constant music playing. The bathrooms were nice and private. It was a fun little oasis in the middle of the craziness of the festival. I will definitely be buying it next year.

Experience the ultimate culinary showdown at the 13th Annual FORD International Cuban Sandwich Festival in Historic Ybor City's Centennial Park! Join celebrity judges, indulge in mouthwatering Cuban sandwiches, and enjoy live music and dance performances.

Paid too much for what we got. Perhaps because it was in a new place this year. Things seemed a bit unorganized. Free sandwiches from Pub lix. Water,bathroom and a place to sit down and cool off. Not much else. Thought there would be more sampling of real sandwiches and other foods. Still had a good time for our first festival.

I attended Saturday. The venue is too small, not enough room for the band and should have been running live music all day not just from 3pm. Had VIP tickets but no one could tell me where I should go to use them. When I did get to the VIP area, it was crowded, not enough seating, cold Cubans, and not very VIP.

There was no indication what so ever as to where to go to redeem the groupon voucher. I spent time walking around all the booths to see If I find an indication and nothing. I decided to ask until I finally found a person who had to make a call to find out for me. I went to redeem it & all they had were drinks and little pieces of cuban sandwiches that weren't worth what I paid for my voucher.

The event itself isn't so bad but the VIP Experience was a joke. Total cluster. Started late. Zero organization. It seemed like they brought out samplings of every grocery-store's Cuban sandwich from within a 30-mile radius. Nothing memorable. The event made it sound like we would be tasting all of the entries into this year's contest, but that wasn't the case at all.
