The lady working was very friendly, I believe maybe she was the owner but didn't get her name. It was also a comfortable spot to sit and eat, and not only good for to-go. I'll be back next time I'm in Tampa.

3.5 stars...Ordered thru Uber, food was warm and fresh. The Monfongo was delicious yet the pork had…read morealot of fat on it and was DRY as a bone. The beef alcapurria has gotten much smaller with less flavoring (bland, very soggy & greasy) the pork was NOT fried like it should or use to be, moreso like it was old meat they cooked, sitting under a heating lamp for days kind of dry. Still would recommend, but get the meat to fat ratio under control. For the price on Uber (32$) I wouldn't do it again. Maybe in person waiting would be better.

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.

Update ( I guess I forgot we ordered here before and only realized when we left the review but the…read morefood seems to be consistently bad ...dang they got us again for being so close lol) I've tried the chicharrones from this place twice now, (3 if you count 8 months ago when I forgot) and both times were a letdown. The first time, my partner picked up the order in person , we paid for a pound but got maybe 3/4 of a pound, and they were just fat with no crunch at all. They had the audacity to be bad and on top of that SHORT US. I decided to give them another chance and ordered through Uber Eats. They were still warm, so clearly fresh, but they were the chewiest, most unflavored and unappetizing chicharrones I've ever had still just full of fat. From a place called La Lechonera, you'd think they'd have these down. Sadly, I'll probably never order from here again. ( IF I CAN REMEMBER LMAO)

Looked on here and saw the reviews on this place so we decided to give it a shot. Good thing we did. The food is amazing and the owner, Ariel, is very personable and HILARIOUS!
