    Great new place to try on a TACO TUESDAY! DISCOUNTED TACOS which are very good! The Shrimp tacos have a very generous portion of shrimp. The guacamole is creamy and packed with flavor. Great food and service!

    We came for lunch not even realizing it was Taco Tuesday! So it was a nice surprise to get a discount. The restaurant is located in a strip plaza on the east side of the street . There's no sign above on the marquis, but you'll see the name spelled out on the windows below. There's ample parking in the free lot. Inside, the menu to me is more Mexican than Cuban. We'd had a lot of meat/steak so although that's what they specialize in (per our server), we chose an order to share of shrimp tacos. We got some complimentary salsa and chips while waiting. The salsa had a slight kick -- more than the usual gringo ones do. There were four tacos to an order with grilled shrimp topped with the traditional (authentic) Mexican style: cilantro and onions only; and the soft tortillas were doubled to make for easier hand holding. We'd also ordered some guacamole which turned out to be wonderful -- flavorful, chunky, and with bits of tomato and onions in it, too. We'd tried it with the chips and then even put some on top of the shrimp. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, then this small restaurant is the place. Enjoy!

    I'm so thrilled we stumbled upon this place!! Absolutely legit Mexican food. Starting off with the chips and salsa- just like our favorite places in New Mexico- crispy fresh and while the salsa isn't hot it's the perfect texture and very flavorful. We got four tacos- a Birria, pastor, carnitas, and a chorizo; all were delicious. My favorite was the chorizo which was surprising for me! It was perfectly balanced with spice and the onion. We also got some red enchiladas which were really good- the red is smoky and again, not wildly spicy but very flavorful. The carnitas were juicy! All in all, we will definitely be coming back for some authentic street style tacos!

    Great find thru Yelp, traveling in new town for a bit and so glad we trusted the reviews, didn't disappoint. Also tried the elote and empanadas, both great and well seasoned. Kind service too, accepts all payments

    Their tacos are amazing! I get them every Saturday. Service was great and super nice. The first time we went there they gave us samples to try. Their horchata is fantastic. Newly renovated with nice decor, and very clean. Love this place and I highly recommend them. The taco deal is pretty good too!

    After a week of fish, the carnivores came off the beach. We headed to Lighthouse Point to a quaint taqueria called La Cubana Mexicana. It's camouflaged in a strip mall called the Georgetown Plaza. Look for the red, white, green, & Modelo banners with a terra cotta pot painted in the flag colors of Mexico and a small sign "tacos open". We entered and were greeted by Shyla and sat in the back of a 6 table joint. As we decided on what to get, Shyla brought us fresh salsa and chips that were still warm with medium sized squeeze bottles of homemade hot sauces. The decor is bright and cheery with papel picado draped throughout, flags of North and South American countries dotting the wall, and a neon sign asking, "Soy Latino, ¿y que?". What a great vibe. I got the Birria C/Queso Y Consumé street tacos served on corn tortillas with cilantro and onions. My better half got the Chorizo street tacos served on corn tortillas with cilantro and onions. We shared an elote-Mexican street corn on the cob, charred with spicy and creamy chili, garlic, and Cotija cheese. The pictures do not do them justice. The four Birria tacos are presented in oval fast food basket with a small cup of consumé and lime wedges. What hit me like a Ranger Suarez fastball was the aroma of cinnamon and oregano and then garlic and cumen. First bite, the cheese is oozing out of crispy double corn tortilla perfectly grilled on flat top. Second bite, dipping in the consumé to add more flavor. Bites three, four, & five came in rapid dunking succession that I chased it down with few bites of street corn. I should have gotten a Modelo instead I slurped up some water. Not gonna lie, I ate the second and third taco and forgot to share with my better half, SMH. The four Chorizo tacos were presented in same fashion just without the consumé. I forgot to squeeze lime onto the Birria tacos but remembered for the lone Chorizo taco. It was scrumptious with adobe flavor. We finished everything without a crumble or errant cilantro leaf. We were totally satisfied and full. As street tacos snobs from Philadelphia, this is not Taco Bell or Chipotle. This is legit, straight up street taco fare. You will not be disappointed. We certainly concur with all the five star ratings. I regret not taking up Shyla's gracious offer of a small container of hot sauce, SMH again.

    WOW! Happy to have a great spot close to home! The elote, chicken tacos and the carne assada tacos were sooo good!! Flavor was fire!

They had so much variety in drink options. Some of their food items were out which is unfortunate BUT it comes to show how good their food is! Thats one part that made me take a start out though. I would hope they take note of what runs out to adjust to demand. The other reason is because some items are pre-made with bacon, which could be part of a dietary restriction, but they had turkey-bacon and turkey sausage which is considerate. The service was amazing though! They were so knowledgeable (they actually caught an ingredient i wouldnt want in one item based on other items i took it off of so they made sure to make me aware so i could take it off!
