Many chicken and pork selections; several rice, bean, fish, vegetable and salad dishes that are usually very tasty. Had the tilapia daily special. It was prepared well, but lost a star from the poor quality of the actual fish used. Mostly take out but indoor/outdoor dining tables. Don't forget to ask for lime slices and salad dressings. Desserts are regular with a few specials. They also have delicious passion fruit juice!

The absolute best Cuban food anywhere. I have been to many…read moreCuban restaurants from Orlando to Miami and Chicas Cuban Cafe in Deland is the absolute best. This place is really classy and authentic and isn't your everyday ordinary Cuban restaurant. This place is great if you just want to grab a sandwich or you want to have a special date night and relax while enjoying a meal you won't forget. Tey have indoor and outdoor dining, and I noticed the tabletops are made from high end Quartz with gold metal flake and the decor and lighting sets the mood for an incredible dining experience. My first time here I ordered a Cuban sandwich meal, and it was absolutely the most incredibly delicious Cuban sandwich I have ever had anywhere and the service was top notch.

We had friends visiting and decided to come in on a Saturday evening without reservations. We were…read moretold there would be a short wait, which was completely fine, and we didn't mind spending about 20 minutes upstairs on the rooftop enjoying the DJ and atmosphere. Once seated, we were placed in the second dining room and ordered drinks, four appetizers, and our entrees. Unfortunately, from the start, the table was not properly set. We had no silverware, no napkins, no side plates for sharing appetizers, no coasters, and really no table settings at all. For a party ordering multiple appetizers and drinks, this immediately made service feel disorganized and inattentive. The issue became even worse when our entrees arrived and, almost immediately after, staff started stacking chairs around us at approximately 9:12 p.m. We had only been seated maybe 15-20 minutes earlier, so as a party of five on a Saturday night, we certainly did not expect the restaurant to begin visibly shutting down while we were just starting our meal. What made it even more frustrating was that these tables were already available when we first walked in, despite being told there would be a wait. Since we were entertaining guests, we thought this would be a great opportunity to show off the rooftop, which is such a great feature for a small town like DeLand and has so much potential. Instead, the experience became embarrassing and disappointing. Having staff stack chairs and place them on tabletops in the middle of our meal felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and made us feel rushed out rather than welcomed. When we asked to speak with a manager, the response we received was that "the servers have to go home." That explanation was unacceptable. Paying customers should never be made to feel like an inconvenience, especially while actively dining. With my own background in restaurant service and management, I found both the handling of the situation and the manager's response to be extremely poor. As a DeLand local, this was especially disappointing because this restaurant has been making improvements and adding entertainment, which we were excited to support. Unfortunately, the poor service and lack of professionalism completely overshadowed what should have been an enjoyable night out.

Cool experience at this downtown Deland spot. It's billed as Latin Fusion, and there's an varied…read moremenu of many different choices, including a wide variety of vegan/vegetarian options. Service is quick and friendly. It's a storefront restaurant, in a very old building. Decor is eclectic, sort of a mashup of different genres. Tried banderillas, which are artfully crafted skewers with chicken, cheese, zucchini , and roasted peppers, with some mango vinaigrette to dress. These are as nice to look at as they are to eat. Great starter, perfect for sharing. Also tried the Jack Fruit Quesadilla. An unusual combo - quesadilla stuffed with cheese and jack fruit marinated with guajillo sauce and then topped with pineapple, almonds, apples, and cilantro. Very unique taste, and delicious! Many other things to try on the menu. Definitely will stop in again whenever in Deland.

We met friends…read morethere for lunch before a show, unbeknownst to us that there was a mardi gras parade happening right in front of the restaurant. The outside seats were full and the sidewalk packed with spectators. The dining was empty so we had our pick of seats. We were greeted promptly and our server gave us plenty of time to review the menu while catching up. Our drinks were served quickly-I got a glass of sangria which was crisp and light, not overly sweet. The food was freshly prepared and served hot. Everyone raved about their choices. I got the vegan enchiladas and my husband got the nachos. Both were delicious. The enchiladas were topped with fresh shredded cabbage and tomatoes which gave enchiladas a nice crunch in each bite. The nachos were light-not overly drenched in cheese or cheese sauce like you find in most pubs nowadays. You could taste the vegetables. The dining room is cozy with a good view of the street. Everyone we spoke with was friendly and welcoming. If our vacation plans bring us to Deland again, I know they will include a visit to De laVega.

For my main course, I ordered garlic shrimp with mamposteao rice, but the shrimps were severely overcooked. The second dish was the chicken milanesa, but the crust had a strange flavor. Honestly, the best part of the plate was the French fries. The kids' mini churrasco meal is good, and the price is fair. For such an expensive Puerto Rican restaurant, it lacks flavor. The service is okay, but it could be better. Ambiance is nice, good decor. No Medalla Light on the beer menu. Overall do not recommend.
