There are a lot of contenders for this crown, so here’s a reminder that this is one person’s opinion. That said, Pipo’s slays. For $6.95, you get a huge pile of succulent roast pig, with the ideal level of citrusy marination, along with mounds of black beans and yellow rice. You read that right: six dollars and ninety-five cents. Customers choose their items on a cafeteria line, so no waiting. The helping is so big that unless you’re inclined toward gluttony, you will bring a decent helping home with you. Pipo’s has definitely got its mojo workin’, serving grub that’s worth the drive out to Town ’N’ Country in Tampa. Keep an eye out for a humble green building on the north side of Hillsborough Avenue.
