    Wine special! And great lunch!
    Tom S.

    Hola is a wonderful find. They serve authentic cuban fare. We had the cuban sandwich, black bean soup and stuffed plantains. I highly recommend all of them. The server/cashier was very friendly and helpful as we purused the menu, and provided very helpful advice. They also had a wine special we couldn't pass up. Where can you buy a $20 bottle of white in a restaurant? It was a great paring for our lunch selections. I highly recommend this place for lunch.

    Cafe con leche & ham croquetas.

    Cafe con leche amazing just wish they didn't use styrofoam cups. Nice assortment of pastries. I had the ham croquetas also delicious. Nice seating outside.

    Love the coffee. Can't speak to the food. Staff friendly. Coffee STRONG! And sweet. Like the vibe. Old school ambiance. Nice outside area.

    Jupina and menu on the patio

    This is a super cute spot. Some hits and some misses. The location and atmosphere is top notch. The inside is pretty tight when it gets busy though. Service was good. We got the lentil stew with chorizo, yuca fries, tostones, Cuban sandwich, and drinks. I really enjoyed the stew, the jupina pineapple drink, and the yuca fries were some of the best I've had. Their sauce kind of reminds me of a boom boom sauce. Sadly the tostones (my favorite treat ever) were overcooked (hard to chew) but the seasoning was on point and I enjoyed the dipping sauce. The Cuban sandwich was pretty plain but I realize there are different preferences on this sandwich, despite it being a classic. The traditional Cuban bread was good. Some of this I wouldn't order again (although it could have been an off day) but I'd definitely come back to try their morning options- pastelitos, croquetas, and Cuban coffee drinks.

    Croqueta Preparada Sandwich

    We stopped by here during our visit to Fernandina Beach and I got the Croqueta Preparada Sandwich. It had a generous portion of pulled pork and croquetas inside, and it was delicious! The coconut pastelito was also tasty, and the dough was fluffy and flaky-- you could tell it was all fresh. The staff is friendly too. I would recommend it!

    You figure you're in Florida, even in the Northeast corner, might as well try a Cuban restaurant. This one is notable for being relatively vegetarian-friendly, with some clearly marked options (mostly with dairy). I sampled some sort of yerba mate soda which was an interesting flavor. Ordering black beans was a good decision; these were flavorful and came with bread. My sandwich was billed as a Cuban grilled cheese, and it was literally just cheese and plantains with the classic pressed bread. To be fair, it lived up to the name, but I think it could use some mojo or something to spice it up. It was filling. The corner shop offers a couple of outdoor seats as well as indoor seating. Their selection of pastelitos and empanadas appeared well worth pondering in addition to their made to order dishes.

    Service when you walk is so refreshing. You greeted by a very polite and friendly young lady with a bubbly personality. Delivery of food was very reasonable given a busy Saturday lunch crowd Cuban sandwich was hearty with plenty of flavor and fresh ingredients. The Lentil soup had some unreal WOW factor flavors with fresh ingredients and plenty of Chorizo. This the Go To from now on for Cuban food, can't wait to try the Empanadas, they look great.

    The midnight.   Cuban sandwich but with a sweet bread.
    Christian K.

    Was pleasantly surprised by the experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a great ambiance and a very welcoming atmosphere. We decided to drop by on a Saturday during lunch, and the place had a lively yet relaxed vibe that made us feel right at home. The decor was a perfect blend of traditional Cuban elements and modern touches, creating a cozy and inviting space. For my meal, I chose the midnight Cuban sandwich. The sandwich was a delightful combination of flaky goodness and sweet bread, which added a unique twist to the traditional Cuban sandwich. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the filling was flavorful and satisfying. The service was exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and more than willing to make recommendations. Despite being a busy lunch hour, our food arrived promptly and was served with a smile. I felt that it was a great value for the experience and food we received. I will be back again.

    Cortadito
    Rachel T.

    Very cute spot in Fernandina Beach! I learned about it since they were featured on the Top Places to Drink in Jacksonville list. My parents were visiting and we decided to stop for a coffee and sit outside. The coffee menu was descriptive, which was helpful since we never had Cuban coffee before. We each got a cortadito (Cuban coffee infused with milk). I usually drink strong coffee black or with a little bit of almond milk, so this was like a sweet treat to me. We got it the standard way that the employee recommended. Honestly, this gave me the pep in my step to continue my day. Our coffees were a delicious treat, and we enjoyed the people watching on the back patio. All of the sandwiches that came out for other guests looked delicious. I really liked this place and would love to stay for longer next time.

    I went in looking for sausage and peppers like I saw online, but they don't carry them anymore at…read morethis location. I think if the websites show everything on it, they should list that some items are not available at all locations. I then found the New Orleans Muffaletta that sounded wonderful, but it said it had prosciuttini on it; I'm familiar and LOVE prosciutto so I started my order and said that I had never had that before, but I assumed it was pretty similar to prosciutto. She told me that that it was a peppered ham, but was not on the sandwich. I said it clearly says it's on a sandwich and she looked at the menu board and said well it doesn't, it has capicola. I stepped away and looked up what prosciuttini was, and it was not described anything like a peppered ham or like she described. I was to the point of not wanting to order anything, but since my husband and son were with me and they wanted something, I asked her if I could see what it looked like so I can make a decision. She held it up and it didn't look anything different than regular ham. I decided to get it anyway, and I asked her if it could be made like the menu described. She stared at the menu board for a minute and thought about it and decided it was OK to do it that way. That seemed like the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard; if the menu shows what is on it and you seem to make it differently than what it's supposed to be, wouldn't you expect it to make it as it says on the menu without question - I'm not modifying anything! It turned out to be a very nice sandwich. The bread was fresh, the lunch meat was fresh, and even the muffaletta was good, albeit not drained much, so it was very oily. My husband had a Kong and thought it was very good as well. Just to clarify, she was not rude or anything like that, she was actually a nice person. I just think the whole thing was insane that I was being told I was wrong. I would go back again.

    This is one of the better ones. The staff is friendly. They get you with a smile and a"welcome in"…read more I ordered an ultimate in wheat all the way. It was made fresh and brought to my table quickly. As a whole, this brand has gone downhill but this one still does it right.

The cheese grits were also very good! I came alone and felt very comfortable, it is a chill vibe. Would come again!

    Long story short: Nice little breakfast spot with good service…read more We came right before 8am and were sat immediately. Our server was kind, but not overly friendly (I don't want a performance, you know?). And our food came out maybe 10 minutes after we ordered. We were early enough to order the Sunrise Special and the egg portions seemed surprisingly large! The grits were lovely. The bacon was not the best, it's thin cut (reminiscent of microwave bacon) and I prefer it to be thick. I ordered the eggs Benedict and really enjoyed it. The hollandaise could have had a touch more seasoning, but the texture was great. I actually preferred the Canadian bacon that came on it than the regular bacon that came with the Sunrise Special. It was perfectly salty and crisp. Oh! And it came with crab meat on it which was a special twist I didn't expect but really appreciated. The potatoes are cut into large chunks, but they are well seasoned and cooked nicely. I can't stand when a potato is undercooked, but this place didn't have that problem. And the cherry on top was the water. Florida locals may not be bothered by the ocean-y taste that comes with their drinking water, but for our family it is something that's hard to get past. We were pleasantly surprised to find that this water tasted as if it was filtered and the ice is that soft kind that's pleasant to chew. This might seem like a silly thing to add, but it really stood out to me and I'm grateful for it.
