I read the reviews on Yelp and decided to try it. We were the only people in there, which was a bit strange for a Friday evening at 7 (maybe it's more of a lunch place?). The gentleman that took care of us was very nice and friendly. We had the cuban sandwich - I agree with some of the comments on Yelp that the sandwich was good quality, but somewhat bland. We tried the Vaca Frita (marinated skirt steak with sautéed onions on top), rice and tostones and the Pechuga De Pollo a La Plancha (chicken breast with onions on top). They were good. Also had a side of black beans and cilantro sauce. The walls of the restaurants are filled with hand-written notes and signatures from previous patrons. I was able to find some rare white space to add my name as well.

I ordered a Cubano sandwich. I would say that's not the best one that I've had but it was good. The bread was nicely toasted. I liked sweet plantain on the side. Overall it's a nice place to grab a quick bite.

Recently I revisited this wonderful Cuban restaurant for lunch and the renovation of the venue was…read morevery impressive. The venue looked astounding, the wall's color and vibrant decor created a more welcoming vibe, the chef's menu was easy to read and the staff was very attentive. We ordered the croquetas and they were excellent. For lunch we ordered the paella for 2, our dish was very savory. The rice had an amazing flavor, every bite was delicious and the dish had a plentiful amount of seafood. We also ordered two lemonades. A very refreshing beverage. Their menu had a wonderful variety of dishes and new cocktails as well. Definitely recommended. Ps. Congrats on their 50 years anniversary. Wishing this restaurant and their staff my best and many more years ahead!

Located in a strip mall but the main dining area has an upscale ambiance…read more Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Ceviche is fresh served with long plantain chips. The appetizer platter also comes with the same kind of plantain chips. Highly recommended if you want to try a bit of everything. Empanada has fresh homemade crust Lechon asado: tender and juicy roasted pork. I substitute the moros with fried plantains. I really enjoy it. Plantains are ripe and sweet but not mushy. Tostones are the biggest I've ever had. Well fried and not greasy. Plenty of drink options. Sangria is ok, not very fruity. Only has two slices of oranges . Mojito: strong rum from my favorite rum brand Don Q. My friend ordered paella. The portion is huge. You can share it with more than one person. It takes three containers to take home the leftover. Very tasty with fresh seafood.

The service was excellent, and the restaurant is beautiful with a very relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious. We started with the empanadas which had an excellent flavor and the mango salsa that it came with was really really good. For dinner, my wife had the Lachona Asada and I had the churrasco steak. Both our dishes were excellent amazing flavors. The meat was super tender, and the portions were a really nice size. I can definitely say that we're going to return more often, especially if the food continues at this level.

He had the Cuban breakfast with 2 eggs, rice and beans, croquettes and plantain. My son and I had steak and eggs with home fried potatoes a banana shake. My husband was raving about the croquettes. I had a bite and I agreed. So so good! Rice and beans, home fried potatoes and plantains were phenomenal. I'm still thinking about them! Everything was delicious and the price is amazing. We couldn't believe we came across this spot. Honestly better than Cuban food we had in little Havana. The ladies serving us were very friendly and nice. We will definitely come back next time we're in the area.

Best prices for Cuban coffee at $1.90 for a single shot is insane. Its a tiny café in the Palm…read morePlaza on the Dixie Hwy railroad tracks. In search of good coffee, found this café by chance just driving around old Hollywood. The fresh squeeed cold watermelon drinks were on the counter but a little pricey for me. Chatted briefly with the barista about the great prices. The espresso was presented in a tiny white porcelain cup hovering a saucer which was appreciated. The gender neutral bathroom was clean with wood flooring, a white pedestal sink and a Phalaenopsis orchid flower arrangement on a 3-tier metal shelf as decor.

Great place to have a delicious Puerto Rican meal…read more Service was fast and efficient, no wait time when I arrived. Monday evening, holiday. Food was delicious, from appetizer to main entree. Recommendations were made and I went with all of them. Pork belly chunks that were seasoned with salt and pepper, and lemon was added afterward for a little more punch in the flavor. Shrimp creole was delicious. The red beans and rice mix makes you want to keep having more and mixing it all together gives you a flavorful punch in your mouth. Mofongo, aka , masked green plantains are only for those looking for something a little dry with flavor. Mines had steak and it was drizzled with mojito sauce and oil. Our server was excellent and recommended flipping it over to have the juice flow into the mofongo which she went ahead and did.. steak was well done and when mixed in had a great combination of flavor.. Ambiance feels like a local P.R spot, flags, art, music, and very fun ambiance. Enjoyed it. Definitely when I'm in the area will come again..

The food was mixed . - Alcapurrias : 5 stars crunchy, juicy, proper size and flavor. - pork chunks mofongo: 4 stars, great flavor. Huge pork portion. - shrimp mofongo creole sauce: 3 stars sauce was on the saltier side and once it reached the bottom of the mongo it was "just too much" - churrasco (kids): 3 stars. A bit overcooked (kid refused to eat it) but it was decent flavor and tenderness. - beans: 3 stars, too salty - white rice : 1 star, felt dry and grainy like day old rice from the fridge.
