Pipo’s Pronto—an offshoot of Tampa Bay chain Pipo’s Cuban Cafe—now serves Latin-style street food via The Kitchen food truck outside St. Pete Beach’s Mastry’s Brewing.
The two local businesses will celebrate the collaboration with a grand opening party this month from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. on Friday, June 18.
Pipo’s Pronto menu focuses on Cuban-influenced handhelds (Abuelita’s Empanadas, Flying Pig Sliders) and small plates (grilled pork belly, mojo cotija fries). And don’t worry, the famous Cuban sandwich isn’t left out.
Pipo’s also occasionally incorporates Mastry's beer in the food—like in the grouper battered in a Breezy Tropical Blonde Ale concoction.
Pipo’s Pronto–located at 7701 Blind Pass Rd.– is open from Monday-Thursday 4 p.m.9 p.m., Friday 2cp.m.-10cp.m., Saturday noon-10 p.m. and Sunday noon-8 p.m.
