    I have been eating here regularly for several years, so I didn't realize I had never written a review. Great Cuban food served in a diner feeling establishment. They feature a wide variety of menu items serving all day from breakfast through supper. I last visited after dropping my dog off at Petco for grooming. Last time in I had my favorite dish they serve, Ropa Viella (sp?). I also had a mango smoothie. Both were delicious. I also grabbed a guava/cheese danish tor later. The staff is always friendly. Nice place!!

    In my past life, I worked right down the street from the area in Apopka and I am so guilty. I rarely ever went as far unless I was going to TJMaxx... yes, I'm terrible. I did already know that there were amazing small businesses in the one shopping plaza, small businesses like Heber's, I just never had the inclination to test out the waters. But I've been rebirthed, and here in my newest life I have been looking for those restaurants that I have been hearing about repeatedly because of course most places have a multitude of Yelp reviews nowadays so it stands out the most when I can recognize the name of a restaurant and follow it with "... told me about that place the other day and said it was amazing". Heber's is one of these places. Many of my former coworkers raved this place into phyche so I have it a shot because I freaking LOVE Cuban food... ALL OF IT. But anyways the service was top notch as they are doing their best like many others to provide safe service during the virus. The food was only okay. I say this because I've had Cubans on the Run... so pretty much everything you eat from there on after, no matter how delicious... cannot get the same rating as Cubans on the Run... because that would be saying they are the same level of delish and that would be a lie... because none of the variations of Cuban sandwich from Heber's came with FRIGGIN PLANTAINS ON IT.. ok I'm done

    #6 Churrasco Steak 8 oz.
    Andrea R.

    I ordered the steak medium rare with white rice and black beans . Not only did i not get the beans but the steak is well well done and it taste old the maduros taste like the ones you get at Walmart heat up from the Goya bag ! The steak did not look like the picture on their menu ! I'm from Miami where Cubans make the churrasco steak and it's delicious i was super excited finding out they had a Cuban spot around the corner that offered that but it let me down i will never eat here again !!

    This is a solid Cuban Place! Indoor and outdoor seating available and plenty of parking as it's in a shopping plaza. Went for lunch time and it wasn't too busy. A little confusing how to order as we weren't sure what they were doing for covid. Anyway we were seated and staff was prompt. Serving sizes were large! Got a grilled chicken lunch, chicken was not dry and was seasoned well. Fries were double fried and amazing. The chicken soup had a hint of tomato in it, wasn't a fan of it. Was hoping more for a clear broth which this isn't. Husband ordered the vaca frita at that was good as well. Tostones were fresh. Bathrooms were small, no changing table, and I didn't like how the main tables were sticky, took away from the ambiance. Overall food was solid and I was satisfied after, would recommend!

    Mamey Smoothie
    Constant M.

    A Cuban bro and I stopped by here to get a quick dinner (almost a year ago ) and I absolutely loved this place! It's owned my a fellow member of our church and they served some pretty good food! Since I'm Chinese, I'm not sure what the steak dinner I got was actually called. The favorite part was the mamey, which is supposed to be a classic Cuban smoothie of a fruit of some sort. Next time I might just order that to go, before I find a good recipe and begin to make it myself. Yum!

    I will begin by saying is a quiet place family oriented establishment.The waitress is friendly and the place is clean. I had the Tilapia Fish sandwich and it was very pleasing to the palate. Great seasoning! Bite after bite you will be satisfied. The Yuca bites are fantastic! Better when dipped into the garlic sauce. The sweet plantains are delicious. Folks this has the traditional Latin flavors, please stop by and enjoy

    Cuban Regular Sandwich
    Elizabeth L.

    I like how you can order a whole Cuban sandwich for $7 so it's a good price not bad at all and you get a lot of food! Just know it will take a while about 10-15 min wait to get your sandwich not the best Cuban sandwich compared to the one I had in Miami but still good and affordable!

    Oj and Espresso
    Derekica J.

    I love this breakfast spot! They don't serve pork, which is awesome. Plus nothing is lacking in the flavor department. The staff is nice and courteous. They have the best espresso and beef soup. I'm not a breakfast person so to find a restaurant that caters to breakfast, and has lunch and dinner options is amazing.

    Extremely oily soggy Green Plantains
    Ana R.

    I ordered a meal thru DoorDash (delivery was fast) and the bad appearance of my side made me question the standard of this restaurant as far as quality. I ordered Tostones (Green Plantains) and they were very dark, soggy and extremely oily. They were old, gross appearance and not safe to ingest. I don't understand why they thought it was ok to serve them or why the girl at the counter was bother when I returned it. No even an apology. I am Not recommending this Cuba restaurant at this time. I know we all going thru difficult times but cutting corners this way is not going to help.

    Saturday Palomilla Steak

    I absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was great along with the service. Definitely will be one of my go to restaurant when not cooking! I had steak and my hubby had the red snapper!

    Jordain J.

    I went here a few days ago because I always wanted to go. I checked the place out and liked it . I order the deluxe Cuban sandwich and I shouldn't have cause it's too small of a sandwich for 5 dollars. But I think the other options there are good. The sandwich, even though it was small, was delicious. I would come back to check out the other options at a later date.

    I recently went to Orlando for a conference, and while we spent the majority of our time in a large…read moreresort and convention center, the leadership of the organization hosting the conference hosted a special dinner in one of the reservable ballrooms at the Cuba Libre Restaurant. I believe it may have been the Havana Ballroom. There was plenty of food, drinks, and mingling. The Cuba Libre Restaurant staff were great, and the venue was well laid out and worked for this event very well. When we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening for our event, we first mingled around the tables and near the cash bar. There were a bunch of large tables that we began to fill out. As our program began and announces made and awards given out, appetizers were passed out. We were offered Guacamole Cubano, Mama Amelia's Empanadas, and Shrimp Cocktail which we passed around to the entire table. Personally, I skipped the guacamole and shrimp dishes but absolutely loved the empanadas. Yum! Then, an individual Cuban House Salad was passed out with red wine vinaigrette. This was also quite tasty. Next came the entrees including a choice of Salmon Paradiso, Ropa Vieja, Citrus Chicken, or Paella Vegetariana. I was trying to decide between the Ropa Vieja (beef brisket) and the Citrus Chicken. While the Citrus Chicken sounded perfect, I asked the serving staff their advice, and they recommended the Ropa Vieja for a true taste of Cuba. I was happy that I did even though it may have been more heavy and with a kick than I was expecting. I'm still glad I ordered it though. It was wonderfully prepared! And then, everyone received Cuban Flan for dessert. The Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar celebrates Cuban heritage and explores Cuban flavors, music, art, and traditions. The mission of the restaurant is to provide an "escape" to Havana through exciting food and beverages and entertainment experiences to celebrate the Cuban people and their culture. Orlando hosts one of several of this restaurant around the United States. This restaurant is in the midst of the Pointe Orlando. You can find details on their website: https://cubalibrerestaurant.com/en/orlando. You can find menus, entertainment, blogs, make reservations, specials, and more. The Cuba Libre Restaurant is open for brunch on weekends from 12 PM to 4 PM, for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM, Friday from 5 PM to 10:30 PM, Saturday from 4 PM to 10:30 PM, and Sunday from 4 PM to 10 PM. Happy Hour is at the bar and bar tables on weekdays from 5 PM to 6 PM and weekends from 4 PM to 6 PM. They have a special Chef's Tasting menu during dinner. They also host weekend nightlife and shows on Fridays with a live band from 7:30 PM to 12:15 AM and a DJ and dancing from 10 PM to 2 AM on both Fridays and Saturdays. It was certainly a great event and a fun place to be!

    I came here for a magical dining. I made a reservation online and it said there was only an opening…read moreat 6:30 however, the whole evening I saw empty tables everywhere. However, happy we came early because the dinner lasted 2 1/2 hours. Sometimes you don't want to be rushed, and in that case, you have to come here because they will take it very slow. For me it worked up because they started off with complementary Cuban bread and sweet butter, which was so delicious that I was instantly full so I was happy. The food didn't come out very fast besides the magical dining menus. We also ordered the croquetas appetizer. It was presented nicely in a little basket with two sauces. The order had six pieces: three ham and three chicken. They were nice and crispy. However, the filling of both was bland. It was so bland, We couldn't at first even tell, which was which. For an appetizer, I had the shrimp and my friend had the black bean soup. The shrimp are really good and came with a slice of French baguette. The black bean soup was like a side of black beans and really delicious but definitely not a soup. As I mean, I got the vegetarian paella, which was pretty good and my friend had the chicken with mashed potatoes and broccolini, which was also good. The big hit was the dessert. I had the flan which came with a delicious cookie, whipped cream and a dulce de Leche sauce. The mini churros were also really good with a filling and a chocolate sauce. It is not cheap normally so magical dining is a good reason to come here. I also picked this place thinking on a Saturday night there would be entertainment however, there was none of that. We also because of that opted to sit outside because inside it is freezing cold. It was not a bad experience. It was a pleasant evening, but the food has definitely room for improvement. The service was great. Our server was very friendly and did her very best.

    Yesterday, Monday afternoon - evening…read more I want to share my experience with a restaurant that, in my opinion, used to be the best in Apopka: Lechonera Latina. I have to ask, where is the so-called manager who claims to be in charge of the restaurant? Doesn't he see how bad the food has become? In the past, after getting off work, I would often stop here because I have to go to Mount Dora and don't have much time to eat. I always enjoyed coming here. Now, I can barely enjoy my favorite chicharrones. Sometimes they are completely burned, and other times they are not crispy at all. The roasted chicken is also burned on some occasions, while other times it looks yellow and poorly prepared. The mofongo? At 4:00 in the afternoon, I'm told they can no longer make it. Then why even have it on the menu? And don't even get me started on the fish--it has very little flavor and is often burned as well. What is going on in the kitchen? "What is going on in the kitchen? The quality and consistency of the food have changed dramatical The only good thing that remains is the way the women treat the customers. Their kindness and good service are honestly the only decent thing left about this place. That is why I still leave a tip--to show my appreciation for the attention and courtesy they give me. To the owners of Lechonera Latina: if you don't start hiring qualified cooks like the ones you had two years ago, you are going to lose customers to the other restaurants in the area. It is a shame to see a place that was once so good go downhill like this.
