My honey and I were passing thru town today and feel like we found a hidden gem. The host/waiter greeted us and explained how sides came with most dishes and even directed us to some of the most popular dishes. We took his advice and we were not disappointed. I had the fried plantains as a side and loved that they were not too oily as some places tend to cook them. Little things like a clean bathroom and a welcoming table, set with the menu as we arrived, added to us feeling welcomed. Our host spoke english and also spanish with many of the other customers. He checked in with us as we ate way too much....but everything was so good. And for us tea drinkers, the tea had a good flavor and not that cheap chemical flavor some places use for iced tea. On the drive home my honey said he needs to think of something else for us to do in that area, so we can plan on eating there again. read more

After hearing good things we decided to try it out one Sat afternoon. The person who greeted us was very friendly and very helpful. We wanted to try a good variety and he was helpful not only in making choices but also getting us the best deal. We tried the classic Cubano, the Palomilla steak with assorted sides. The sandwich came with homemade chips (fries). We added fried plantains, black beans and rice and Moro rice. Everything was flavorful and very well seasoned. Even my picky eater boyfriend gave it a solid 7. I think it would have easily gotten an 8 or 9 had we eaten it fresh from the kitchen instead of waiting till we got home. I was told the liquor license is about 10 days away and we look forward to going back to enjoy some authentic Cuban cocktails. We will for sure be back. The pizza looked delicious as well so that is on the list. I've included a card with a QR code so you can view the full menu!! read more

Nice Cuban food on the Northside of Osceola right off of highway 69. Very large variety to choose from to eat, and helpful staff to help explain the foods that you might not be familiar with. Go ahead and get out of your comfort zone and try something different, the food here is flavorful and you'll probably like it. read more

Heads up to anyone traveling on I 35 between Des Moines and Kansas City. Over on Main Street in Osceola there is a new Cuban restaurant called Cuban Flavor. It it a delightful break from the highway...easy off easy back on. I just had their Cuban Sandwich with fried sweet plantains on the side. Delicious! They have an extensive menu of Cuban fare. read more

Good food, things you can't get anywhere else (tostones, fried yucca, etc.) plus your standards. Everything is made when you order it, so might take a little longer, but well worth the wait. I recommend the fried yucca and cafe con leche (has sugar in it) delicious. read more
