Gets worse every year! Been going here well over 20 years. I'm done. Waited an hour for a sandwich, price was incorrect, made excuses instead of correcting.

Yummy Cuban sandwiches and desserts. It's a carryout deli.
Parking: Small parking lot and 4-5 spots on the street.
BIG TRASH. Let me start by saying I love the history of Tampa and how there are many restaurants that have existed for years. La Segunda on 15th st in Tampa is one of these places. I have lived in Tampa for over a decade and have always driven by this place and there always seemed to be a line. So I figured, ok they must be good. So I stopped this morning.
Boy was I wrong! Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I dont know. I ordered the deviled crab and the Avocado and egg sandwich. It came to almost $18.00. RED FLAG number one.
I love Deviled crabs and I noticed there are a few places in Tampa that prepare these and all of these places prepare them differently. Obviously. Well La Segunda does not have these well prepared. No crab at all, see attached photo, and no taste. The food item outside of the crab, not sure what is was, was mushy with no taste. Im telling you, it was absolutely disgusting and I was beyond annoyed. For real. This is the most disgusting thing I have had in a long time. SMH
Next. the sandwich, which by the way I could have prepared at home, was also trash. No flavor, everything bland. I think they add the tomato to add flavor, but it did not. For the prices they charge, I expect better. I still have the taste in my mouth and am so mad.
Please, am I missing something? Why does this place have a high rating? Was it just a bad day when I visited this morning? Why is there such a line out the door? Did I order the wrong thing?
Even though the service and the vibe was good, nothing can make up for this horrible, horrible food. I wish I could get a refund. I am soooo mad.
Okay it has been a couple of hours and I still have the taste in my mouth. I have tried everything and it will not go away.
Trust me, stay away from the food here. Do not waste your time, money and taste buds. It will ruin your palate. This experience ruined my whole morning. UGGHHHHHH

Amazing Cuban sandwich and the apple flip was incredible with a Cuban coffee. It’s an instant must-go whenever I come to Tampa.

I've been coming to this bakery for 25 years. They're fantastic and rarely make mistakes. However, today they didn't put egg in my breakfast sandwich and forgot to give me the guava flip with cheese that I ordered. I called and spoke to Sandra and she made it right. Lovely representative and fantastic customer service

I get that this is a historic place, but the execution is poor. I've been here 5 times. Excellent cuban Sandwich but everything else is a nightmare. Long wait times, they do not know how to make a cage con leche, they will screw up your order or forget to make it altogether. Go to flan factory nearby for a better experience - especially if you're a tourist looking to try cuban food for the first time.
The food here is phenomenal, service is excellent! Any time my husband and I need to bring food for a family gathering or game night with friends, La Segunda is our first choice. The Boston Crème Cake and Pineapple Upsidedown cake are top notch choices as well as the Cuban sandwiches and cafe con leche!
Food is always delicious and Emalee was super friendly! Definitely a place worth trying if you haven’t already.

I have been eating their bread at some events but it was my first time to actually go to their store this week and I was really delighted! Not only do they sell wonderful bread and pastries - La Segunda Bakery is also a living historical gem! I’ll go there more from now on!
