We ordered the masitas, the lechon, the churrasco, and the chicken chicharones. As sides, we tried the white rice and beans, mofongo, and french fries. I thought the steak was poor quality meat and poorly seasoned. The beans were bland. The mofongo was okay. The roast pork was okay, although the masitas were overly fried. The chicken was tasty but also overfried. Probably wouldn't order delivery from them again.

Let's start from the top. Lady walking around with a camera?? Get outta here. Then no napkins or silverware, dang. That's a bummer. Server was nice, I like the guy. Don't know his name though. Menu was large. Apps were solid. They are what have this place rated at a 2 otherwise it might be much worse. Entrees were fine. Nobody was stoked around the table but it was still good and everything was taken down bottom line. Will I come back, no. Will I recommend it, nah. But here it is. Fun, packed out and here. So good on em, keep trucking.

I came in excited for a good experience. For context, I'm Dominican and my husband is Puerto Rican, so we're very familiar with the culture and the type of warm, welcoming energy these spots usually have. I tried the alcapurria and pastrami sandwich, and my husband had La Bomba. The food was okay, but unfortunately the customer service set the tone for the visit. The staff had straight faces, didn't smile, and came across as cold and dismissive, which made the experience feel unwelcoming from the start. To me, this did not feel like an authentic Puerto Rican bakery experience because if it truly were, the atmosphere would feel warm, inviting, and full of hospitality. Even when food is decent, poor customer service can ruin the experience. This bakery has potential, but because of the service, I will not be revisiting or recommending it.

The Cuban sandwich 4/5 had great flavor, but the bread was softer than I prefer and could've been crispier. The meat-to-bread ratio felt a little off, with more bread than filling. The ham and cheese and chicken sandwich 3/5 came with melted cheese, but again the bread leaned more soft than toasted. A little extra filling would've made it more balanced. The chicken empanada 3/5 had good flavor but was overly greasy. I had to dab out some of the oil before taking a bite. Overall it wasn't bad, but i was kind of craving a crispy empanada on the outside.

I also ordered the chicken soup. The broth was tasteless and watered down. It was full of bones. Noodles completely over cooked. And I am positive this was microwaved as I burned my mouth.

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.

If talking about street food. This food truck have it. Most Puerto Rican food are mofongo, but…read morerarely about their street food. This owner of food truck from Puerto Rico, they came to United State for better life. They brought local street food with them. We got the Alcapurrias. It is Puerto Rico traditional dish with green banana dough with meat. The version we got is the Corned Beef con Amarillos. The outward is corn beef and the inside is sweet plantain. It shape like corn dog. Very interesting. Our second item is the empanadilla jueyes. It is crab meat empanadas. They use real blue crab meat. Very similar to Cuban devil crab but it is empanadas. Both dishes are great. The order do take some time. While you waiting for your order, you can go visit other food truck.

I wish the owner would had posted that they closed, but I guess that was not in their plans. So don't waist your time or gas driving out there as they closed their business for good. The only reason why I'm giving a 1 star is because they closed shop and didn't post anything about it, and people are still driving out there for nothing.
