Food is ok it’s definitely not authentic Cuban especially compared to many other local Cuban establishments that have historically contributed to the Tampa Bay area.
Service as a walk in was always quick and easy but dining in leaves something to be desired.
Waitresses can be flirtatious and a little forgetful they forget my ranch often when I order and carry out l, which I won’t be doing anymore.
About a month ago
I met a lawyer friend of mine for lunch there, my salad was good but the devil crab had too much breading and red sauce as filler. His steak didn’t look very appetizing either.
The waitresses weren’t attentive so we pretty much just helped ourselves to the sodas as it seem many others were doing the same thing.
I can honestly say I won’t be going back.

No wait staff but after ordering they bring the food to the table. Probably helps to control costs😉which is ok by me. Food is always good - especially the local soups and Cuban sandwich.

Don't try this if you don't like authentic Cuban food. It's good enough to make you slap yo mama.

Consistency is key and La Septima has this down. So good, every time. I would say a local favorite for sure. Thank you for serving great food to the Brandon area!

As a diner, I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. The flavors are rooted in Cuban, Spanish, and Italian traditions, delivered with authenticity and pride. Highlights include yellow rice & black beans, pressed authentic sandwiches, fresh seafood options, and hearty salads.

La Septima Cafe is a true gem. I had the lunch special picadillo, and it was absolutely delicious—flavorful, comforting, and perfectly seasoned. The service was warm, and the atmosphere cozy. Great food at a great price. Highly recommend!

Great devil crab, and black beans and rice. Not the best fan of the ordering method post covid though. Wish they would go back to table service.

Great food
Used to love La Septima and they were always are go to place in Brandon for Cubans and Devil Crabs and the salad. Today was the last straw. Food is now absolutely horrible and portions are smaller and prices are higher. Won’t be back anymore.

Good food, clean and friendly. Just like the food I grew up eating in Ybor City.
The Cuban was dry, but the service is amazing 👏
