Sin duda, fue la mejor elección. Llegué justo minutos antes de que cerraran, y pensé que quizás me atenderían con prisa... pero fue todo lo contrario. El dueño me recibió personalmente con una actitud tan amable y acogedora que me hizo sentir como en casa desde el primer momento. Pedí unas alcapurrias y empanadas de carne que estaban deliciosas y, para mi sorpresa, también me regaló dos pastelitos de quesito como cortesía. ¡Un gesto que realmente se agradece y marca la diferencia! Si están por Tampa y buscan un lugar donde se sienta el calor boricua, la buena vibra y, por supuesto, la excelente comida, les recomiendo pasar por aquí. ¡Yo, sin duda, ya tengo mi parada fija cada vez que regrese a Tampa!

La Bahía is a Puerto Rican bakery through and through, so if you're from the Caribbean or Hispanic,…read moreyou already know what to expect. But Florida is a melting pot -- you've got folks from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, everywhere -- and they walk in asking for Cuban bread. It's kind of funny because... this isn't Cuban bread. It's Puerto Rican bread. Different taste, different texture, different soul. And that's not a knock on anyone; it's just one of those cultural things that's hard to explain unless you grew up with it. With that said, the sandwiches here are solid. The place gets busy -- packed, actually -- which tells you everything you need to know about how the community feels about it. The food is authentic, the flavors are familiar, and nothing tastes watered down or "tourist‑friendly." We've been coming here for years, and the consistency is what keeps us returning. Same quality, same service, same comfort‑food feeling every time. It's the kind of spot where you walk in and instantly know you're getting the real thing.

**Quick, solid Cuban food right by the mall**…read more Heading to the mall and wanted something better than food court fare -- La Teresita was right down the street, so we popped in. Skipped the sit-down cafeteria side and grabbed the counter seating instead, which had a fun bar-style setup. Service was fast -- they got our water order in immediately, and we followed up with a large café con leche. Plenty of coffee for the price, though the red plastic cup was a letdown compared to a proper mug. Food came out in under five minutes, which is impressive for how good it was. I got the Milanesa -- a breaded steak in red sauce -- with yellow rice and black beans on the side, and it was excellent for the price. My wife had the Ropa Vieja with yucca and Moros rice, and it didn't disappoint: tender, soft beef with rich tomato sauce and just a hint of olive coming through. We also added a side of tostones with their garlic sauce, which were absolutely delicious. For a quick stop before the mall, this exceeded expectations -- great flavor, fast service, and solid prices. Would go back even without the mall as an excuse.

Well it's my favorite restaurant of course! It's been here since 1984 I've been eating here since about 1990. They have great Cubans and an awesome selection of soft drinks. Always see a bunch of deputies eating here. Sell zapp chips which are awesome. Favorite subs a tossup between the Italian one and the steak and cheese. read more

Immediately as I walked through the door, I was greeted by a lovely young man behind the counter. He asked me if I have been here before and I told him it was my first visit. He took the time to go over the menu and explain in detail what they offer and some of their latest creations. It was a wonderful start to my first visit. After his recommendations I decided on the classic Cuban sandwich and the beef and cheese empanada. Hands down one of the top 10 Cuban sandwiches I've had in quite some time. Especially in the new Tampa area. The Cuban sandwich was absolutely delicious. Pressed perfectly with amazing quality ingredients inside. The beef and cheese empanada was equally delicious. If you are in the area and looking for authentic Cuban food, done, right I highly recommend giving them a visit. I will definitely be back and this will be a regular staple for me. Looking forward to trying many of their other dishes. Now that I know I have a solid Cuban sandwich place in my neighborhood!

I was surprised to find that the 6-inch plain ham-and-cheese sandwich was the same price as the Cuban sandwich--$9. In my opinion, $9 for a basic 6-inch ham-and-cheese sandwich is quite expensive. When I asked about the pricing and tried to get some clarification, I felt that the staff was not willing to help. Their attitude made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Because of the way the situation was handled, I ultimately decided to return everything and leave. I understand that restaurants set their own prices, but I believe customers should be treated respectfully and given a reasonable explanation when they have questions or concerns. I'm Not saying that I was mistreated but i didn't get a reasonable explanation they way they explained to me was like the bread is $2.50 the cheese is $2.50 and the ham is $2.50 it just doesn't make sense a Cuban has pork cheese ham salami lettuce tomato pickles it just doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable returning.
