The food was good and precise in portion. The ambiance was great with no excess and family oriented. The one thing I would recommend is a follow up somewhere in the middle after serving the food for water refills or any other dish that may be added. Other than that, my experience was positive.

Absolutely I would not recommend this place…read more.. This is a shame because this place was years ago. Not sure what happened but...it is no more! Food is overpriced and simply bad. Service is ok. The ladies there don't have much to work with. Ambiance is that of a typical Cuban "ccafeteria"

Order a sandwich here and you're gonna be hungry for sure because they are great portions and they taste old school like the Milano queen you were a kid and also the Cuban sandwich with the pickle taste wow. But they have great dishes I mean from the seafood platters to the Roja pita you're my goodness they're so good. Of course they are the king and Palomilla with the tennis sandwich or whether you're eating it with rice and beans wow and good masa de de purr o desserts, lord, I think of every dessert that capacity think of from pastries that are Cuban to the Cakes like flan and tres leches this place is amazing. My favorite thing to eat here when I come are the Cortas please ask for them to be hot. They are really delicious. Of course they do have everything else you can think of. I mean their list of sandwiches and their menu is impressive great portions great service. The girls here were really hard. It's a great place legendary

My experience here was awesome. I'm actually still sitting here. I was helped by Patricia who was…read morespectacular; the order came out as I'd hoped for with specific attention to my liking. Her customer service and attention to detail was awesome, ensuring she stopped by multiple times throughout to top off water and check on my experience. I went with the grilled Chicken breast and double side of tostones which tasted fantastic. Of note, I covered the tostones in the garlic like sauce while they were hot, which rendered them a fine combo of crunchy and somewhat soft- in short, awesome. Personally, no meal is finished without some form of coffee at the end. I admit this habit stems from my upbringing and a penchant for American, French and Italian fare but this was no different. I enjoyed a Cortadito which tasted amazing and had beautiful presentation. If I could rate this experience 6 stars I would. They knocked it out of the park. Note: They're FIU student, police and county friendly to boot.

I really should have asked for a different side when ordering, but I really wasn't too hungry. I recommend coming here with a group. You can try different dishes and mix and math. It is a really fun place to be.

AMAZING!!! This spot…read morehas quickly become a new favorite of mine. As someone who follows a plant-based lifestyle, it's not always easy finding Latin restaurants that don't use animal products in their beans, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they don't. And when I tell you these are the BEST restaurant beans I've ever had, I mean it. WOW. We actually discovered this place by accident two weeks ago when the restaurant we originally planned to visit was closed on a Monday. We needed something nearby, so I jumped on Yelp, saw the great reviews, and decided to give it a try. I wasn't expecting much, but I was completely impressed. Everything we've tried has been simple, fresh, and delicious. The Ensalada Turca is my favorite and an absolute must-try. The jugo de mora is incredibly refreshing, and the sopa de frijoles with rice and maduros hit the spot so much that I ordered it both visits. The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive, always making sure you have everything you need. The restaurant itself is small and unassuming, decorated with beautiful cultural touches. The music playing in the background instantly took me back to my childhood, reminding me of the songs my mom and grandma used to play on the radio at home. Overall, this is a hidden gem that's absolutely worth seeking out. We've already been back twice, and we'll definitely be returning again.

Highly recommend!

I ordered a chicken soup that was 2 stars at best, then I asked her about the pork sandwich and she lost her patience, so her explanation was "¿lo quieres i no?" The sandwich was good, maybe 4 stars. The whole time there I got water once, my glass was empty, and all the plates in front of me the entire time, I finished and 10 minutes later nobody noticed me so I put $15 cash and left. It's been a while since I felt so mistreated and of course I'm not coming back ever again.

You walk in and it's just brimming with stuff ALL over the place. It's like a fever dream, but in a good way. Since we walked in it was packed and there was music which definitely set the vibe. Was a little hard to talk, but it made you want to dance the whole away through. The food is priced great and delicious. It took a little while, but completely understandable and the wait time was convenient for how packed the place was. The only reason I'm giving a four instead of a five was the service was a LITTLE slow. I understand again they were doing as good a job as possible for how packed the place was, but I had asked for water when our server took our order and I didn't get water till every single person at our table had to reask for water and I finally got some post meal. Our server was really nice, but again, took a while to get water, but we got another round of sangria and received those before the water. The place was bumping and people were dancing and having a good time. I would MAYBE check this place out again on a slower day. I hear they have mariachi!
