In 1905, Casimiro Hernandez Sr. - our great-grandfather - immigrated to Tampa’s Ybor City from Cuba and opened a small café called the Columbia Café, serving fellow immigrants in the “Cigar City” steaming cups of Cuban coffee and bowls of Spanish bean soup along with a strong drink. Over time, memories of the Café were preserved as the Columbia grew to become one of Florida’s finest restaurants. Every era brought new challenges, and the Columbia met each with expansion. Prohibition was the addition of a dining room called “La Fonda.” In 1935, prohibition had been repealed and cocktails and dancing were all the rage. Our grandfather, Casimiro Hernandez Jr. added the first air-conditioned dining room in Tampa, and named it “Don Quixote,” featuring a large dance floor.
