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! I had the mofongo con carne frita and my lady had the tripleta. The mofongo was perfect. Not dry at all. The tripleta is delicious and a good portion. We also ordered an alcapurria as an appetizer.

We were seated right away and put in our orders. I'm not sure how long exactly but it felt like a very long time for us to receive our orders, especially for a table of 4 when the restaurant was mostly empty. The server never came by to update us while we were waiting. By the time we received the food, which was an appetizer, a chicken and 2 Cuban sandwiches, the Cubans weren't very warm at all. The food was very good at least and the Sangria was delicious, but I'm disappointed in the wait and the service. I'd like to give it another chance but it this is typical then I would not continue to come.

Then we were ignored for over 5 minutes while other tables were seated and waited on. Got the idea that not speaking Spanish had something to do with it. We finally got the attention of a server. He said he wasn't our server but that he'd take care of us. He turned out to be very good. Regarding the food, we started with the empanada trio. They came out hot and crispy. The chicken and beef were good but not much filling. We didn't enjoy the pizza one at all. For meals we had the shredded pork with rice, beans and plantains and a Cuban sandwich. Our food was very good. We each ordered the lemonade. Got the bill and saw they were $7 each. Wow. Guess we should have checked the menu for prices of drinks. Not sure we'll go back inside but may get takeout in the future.
