Just left the restaurant. Amazing food!!! Super kind and nice service and great staff. We've been wanting to try authentic Cuban food since we got to Tampa a week ago and we finally found a nice place for our lunch. And it didn't disappoint a bit. The portions were gigantic , we shared everything we got to try most of the items on the menu. And we still had some leftover food to go. read more

Food was really good. Prices good. Very friendly staff. We wish we would have found this place earlier from leaving our vacation.

I come here all the time. The food consistently tastes great! Very friendly owners and staff.

Food was okay. No prices posted anywhere. Cost me $28 for one plate, small salad and fresh OJ. Some of the plantains were a bit overcooked. Pulled pork was cooked well but didn't have much flavor. Salad was brown and wilted, but the cashier insisted it was fresh and did nothing to resolve it. I've honestly had better food at a gas station. Not really worth the price of the food, bland flavor & atmosphere. Probably won't be back here. read more

Great food, large portions. Worthy!!!! The "chofán" or fried rice is the bomb. It's the Latin version of course haha read more

Great food, great service you can't go wrong eating here!!! We will definitely be back for our lunch since we're just around the corner.

Food was okay. No menu online. A little pricey for what you get. Food is okay for limited options in area.

Fantastic meals full of flavor and the portions are generous. The ladies here are always so friendly and welcoming. I'm yet to have something from here that I didn't enjoy. Wonderful place definitely worth visiting read more

In continuing my Tampa Cuban sandwich tour the next up is Leah's. I was surprised to see other reviewers mention a cafeteria like setup for Leah's. You'd never know that when you are ordering online for delivery. The Cuban sandwich was massive and was easily one of the biggest ones I can remember getting recently from anywhere. It's very heavy on the pork, but that might actually be a positive for many people. It was pretty frustrating that the dessert I ordered that was only described as a "Guava Pastry" actually turned out to be a slice of cake where the frosting was covered in nuts. I'm extremely allergic to nuts so I paid for something I had to throw away. This was a solid Cuban sandwich though, and I would get it again. read more

Food was amazing and portions are super generous highly recommend eating here, the cafe con leche is very good as well.

This hidden little gem always has fantastic food and the portions are more than enough. We are blessed to be two min down the street from this location . The service is top notch and great people. The cafe might look small from the front but has tons of room inside if you have time to sit and enjoy it fresh. Love this place. From breakfast to lunch with many choices for you. read more

Really good very authentic. Definitely recommend to anyone to stop by and check them out

I loooooove this place. The food is truly authentic. This is one of 2 places in all of Tampa where the food tastes just as if you are getting it in Hialeah. The portions are good. I always forget to take a picture. Next time. read more

What a FIND! Some of the BEST Cuban food I have ever enjoyed. The baked chicken fell off the bone and the skin had such a great flavor that I had to eat some even though that is something I rarely do. Then, let's talk about the pulled pork, OH MY! I watched them literally flake it off the huge pork tenderloin they must have baked with such care... AMAZING! The yellow rice and black beans side are yummy, the maduros so authentic, the carrot cake I am still waiting to try. GREAT and KIND service with smiles all around! read more

Ordered some food from Leah's using Uber eats. Man was it good! I got a Cuban sandwich and mango smoothie - I was satisfied to the max! The Cuban was so delicious and I'm usually pretty picky about my Cuban sandwiches (and very loyal to other places) and I was obsessed with the smoothie! I would love to check them out in person soon. read more

The food is authentic and amazing. I got the Cuban Sandwich with everything on it . It is a big sandwich and for me I could only finish one half and more for later. My son got the combo plate of chicken and rice , the chicken was so tender that the bone just slides off. The atmosphere was family friendly and wait time at 2PM on a Thursday was reasonable, I am a out of town visitor and highly recommended if you are looking for an authentic Cuban sandwich or more. read more

OMG!! I had got the pulled pork with a Cuban sandwich... it was the best pulled pork I ever had.. I was just trying new things on Uber eats & ran across Leah's. I definitely recommend. (: My stomach was so happy lol. read more

If you come to Tampa, go to Leah's. My associate and i were here on a business trip here for a week and coming here at lunchtime was the highlight of our trip. The food is different everyday but it's always absolutely insane. The Cuban sandwich is the best I've ever had and i live in LA where i frequently go to Porto's. I doubt we'll ever be back in Tampa but this place will live long in the memory read more

Very good place for a cuban there lunch is not that flavored but is good for a quick affordable lunch.

I like this place a lot, huge portions usually, quick and cheap, very tasty. Highly recommend

From a Cuban - Amazing Cuban cuisine! Amazing and authentic taste, very rare to find! Have lived here many years and this is closest to eating in Cuba. read more

Delicious Cuban cuisine!!! Everyone is very nice and helpful for first timers. Had the pork with bean, rice and plantains. Generous portions at a great price! read more

HORRIBLEEE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Will not tell you that I won't be back or advise you not to est here but if you do, just know the owners ate gonna look you DEAD in the eye & you'll be waiting for 10-15mins for someone to care enough to take your order. I walk in & only wanted a sandwish. Store was EMPTY & I was the only one standing up there . I get that they do online orders but nobody had the DECENCY to slat least say "I'll be right with you". Literally had to walk up to the register to get the girl's attention to assist me. After nobody cared I just left empty-handed because the atmosphere was RUDE & I'm not the one to make a scene. Food ain't all that & won't be wasting my time & money on a basic spot. read more

Simple and authentic.. had some pounded breaded chicken with black beans and rice and some cooked bananas.. menu is limited but super quick and easy most foods are already prepared for lunch Much better than a fast food option read more

I'm Cuban and have lived here my entire life and I can tell you this is the worst Cuban food ever. The moros were several days old, dry, crunchy rice with little seasoning. The pulled pork was tender but that was the best part about it. And let me not even mention the dry yucca. This was not only days old yucca but the mojo tasted like oil. Absolutely the worst expirience. Fire the cook. read more

In Tampa for the day and decided to give this place a try. SO GLAD WE DID. The food was amazing, the portions are ridiculous and the service was great. Yes, it is a limited menu but honestly it's all you could want. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ham and cheese sandwich was really good, pineapple shake was so refreshing. great price and great customer service they were very friendly.

I ordered the pulled pork for lunch and it did not disappoint! Tender, juicy, beautifully caramelized onions. The yellow rice and beans went perfectly. I'll be ordering again. read more

The staff is always extremely friendly and the food is really good. Every single day they have a brand new item of the day for example my favorite is coming in on Wednesday for the chicken Parm. But to sum it up short and sweet if you're looking for some Cuban food and you're missing your mom's cooking this is a perfect place to go from steak sandwiches to Cuban sandwiches to a full on a Cuban meal they have it all and they also have a great breakfast selection of Café con Lech and sandwiches that will blow your mind read more

Leah's cafe is about as dank as it gets fo Cuban food in east Tampa. The place is a hole in the wall but the food is fricken delicious. Its never too busy and the price is right. I usually eat there at lunch during work, but it's always good. Food is traditional Cuban... So rice beans and a choice of meat. Love this place...... read more

Excellent cubans and coffee, they open early so its convenient to just pick up and go. The service is fast and friendly. The only bad thing is they close at 3. read more

Love this place! I work nearby and make it a point to eat here at least once a week! It's family owned, super fast (cafeteria style), and very friendly. Rotating choices of daily specials and a few standard choices that never change. The roast pork is always great and if they have it, their version of (Cuban?) Chicken Parm is wonderful! (It's actually fried chicken breast with mozzarella on top. It's surprisingly tender and lots of flavor!). It's a little pricier than the typical little Cuban/ Puerto Rican cafes you find in West Tampa, but I also think the quality is much better! Great value for the money, especially if you order the standard entree and 2 sides. read more

In Tampa for business and it was lunchtime. Saw this place with good reviews and figured I would try. Looks like they only do lunch. It is cafeteria style and the f[d all looked really good. Had the pulled prok with black beans and white rice. OMG it was really really good. Everything had a awesome taste to it. Service is a little slow but it looks like a family run place. Everybody is very courteous. Will be back when in town next time. read more

After trying most of the Cuban's in town. This is currently my favorite. Everyone I introduce to this place say the same thing the food is amazing . Their hot food is amazing as well. They seem to have many hot options every day. Also the prices are very reasonable . The service at Leah's is very friendly. They treat you like your a family member. Don't miss this hole in the wall gem. Being a foodie your always looking for the food find. For Cuban food this is it in Tampa. RUN TO THIS PLACE read more

What an awesome find! Such great homemade food and you get so much food for such a small amount of money. Services is excellent and everyone is super sweet. Once you have eaten there, you are hooked for life. We go there every Friday at lunch time as our treat for the week! Try it...you will be pleasantly surprise. read more

Visited this restaurant yesterday. My son had the sea bass and I had the beef stew. Both were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! Reasonable prices, large portions, with quick and friendly service. I highly recommend this place. read more

This place has been hit or miss, but service is unreasonably slow and oftentimes orders are messed up. Today was my last time going to Leah's. They have potential to be a great little café but this place has been in decline lately. Sorry Leah's but no mas for me, lack of service and numerous sub par meals are unacceptable. read more

I was in town for business and love Cuban food so I thought I would try this place. Huge mistake! This is a cafeteria line style restaurant. There is no menu. There is a small sandwich menu that is it. The hot food is in front of you and you just order it from the person behind the counter. They do not explain what the food is. If you order a sandwich you have to know to order toppings like mayo, mustard, lettuce and tomato they do not ask you. Apparently they assume you just know what they offer. It takes forever to get a sandwich. Which was prepared and then I saw it sit on the counter before anyone bothered to wrap it up. Black beans and rice was excellent. I can't speak for the rest of the food. The croquetta sandwich was ok, it was on the thinnest Cuban bread I've ever seen. The place was busy so people must love the food. There is plenty of seating. Now the service WAS TERRIBLE! The cashier could care less about anything you ask or taking your money. She was only interested in flirting with the firefighters in the restaurant. A lady behind me asked for bread and her response was "I don't have bread now I'd have to make it!" No kidding lady this is a restaurant at noon making food is the service you provide. The cashier was rude and could careless about the customers or helping a customer. You have to order the coffee from her and she seems disgusted to have to take your order. If you could give a darn about service I'm sure this place is great but they obviously don't want new customers because they aren't helpful. Skip this place and move on to another Cuban restaurant in Tampa Bay Area. read more

The food is a little pricey for lunch but the food is good and the portions are more than generous, you can share a meal and both be fed. Cafeteria style so not full service. read more

What they serve is very good, but would like to see a couple vegetable choices. They're also open for breakfast and would like to see a breakfast crowd so they'll continue to stay open for breakfast. Their con leche is great. read more
