Columbia's Original "1905" Salad
Named for the year our restaurant opened in Tampa’s Latin district of Ybor City, this signature salad was created in the 1940s by waiter Tony Noriega, who added a “secret ingredient” — Worcestershire sauce — to elevate its flavor. Tossed tableside, it features crisp iceberg lettuce, baked ham, Swiss cheese, tomato, olives, Romano and our famous garlic dressing. Inspired by immigrant flavors from Sicily to Cuba, Columbia was named one of USA Today’s “10 Great Places to Make a Meal Out of a Salad.” Our lettuce is sourced from 3rd-generation family-owned Taylor Farms.

The Original Cuban Sandwich - “Best Sandwich in Florida” — Food & Wine Magazine
A Tampa treasure, the Cuban Sandwich was first crafted in Ybor City in the late 1890s, enjoyed by the city’s cigar workers.
