I've never had a bad meal here. I'm keeping sandwiches and breaded pork are perfect full meals are delicious. They've also got pretty good Cafe Con leche

This was our first time at La Septima, and the staff was incredibly helpful! They gave us suggestions for dinner and explained what I wasn't sure what it was. The Yuka was a little too heavy on the garlic, but other than that, we had a great dinner.

We used to govtovthe old LA Septima and loved it. Our latest experience was OK but not what we were expecting. The Steak Milanesa was not what was on the menu. MyvCuban sandwich was good but not like the old days either. I maycgive it another try sometime but I can only rate it average for this visit.

This is not the restaurant that I’ve enjoyed for 25+ years, it is now a takeout restaurant with a few tables inside to eat at, No wait-staff. You order at the counter - then a food runner brings your order out. Need something / get it yourself.Food quality has gone downhill, food is served on plastic plates / VERY cheap plastic knife & forks. It hurts to write this but read the negative reviews there honest, not sure about the reviews that say “great service “ THERE IS NO SERVICE! It is nothing but a takeout joint, not my definition of a restaurant! Very sad ?Reply back to ownersI have not been to La Septima in over a year, it was one of my mother’s favorite places to go. Yesterday I was shocked when the food was served on plastic plates, my wife had the The Agliano , I had the Cuban / her Agliano was not very hot, my Cuban was just OK . next time we will drive to the Columbia,Your new business model just doesn’t work for us. To everybody else / enjoy take-out quality food, W/O serviceFeb 2024. Update ?sad / tried again, the sandwiches were OK / the seventh Avenue salad was missing everything. A seventh Avenue salad should have and was overpriced.‼️Spend the extra money, go to the Columbia in Ybor City- get real food on real plates ‼️

We ordered the family chicken meal and everything from the beans to salad dressing (creamy herb) everything was amazing. Loved the butter that came with the cuban bread.

I made a quick spot here as it was portrayed a a cuban resturant. It's clean when you walk in, so no complaints there, but they don't really understand the culture. No one knew what a colada was, nor do they actually make cuban Cafe for starters. No pasteries or such either. Not a grab and go spot, so maybe the actual food is better, but the coffee they served me was some typical American coffee from one of those squirt jugs. The coffee must have been sitting for hours as it tasted horrible, especially as it was sold as Cafe con Leche. Sorry, no authenticity at all.My rate for service is for knowledge. They weren't rude at all, just not great if you expect cuban.

Nice atmosphere with lots of potential. Food was a great price; however, could use more seasoning. Customer Service was very nice!
