Do you want to fell like back in Cuba? Come here!…read more I sat down and was greeted with a very serious square face "¿que quieres?" 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.

This was one of the most frightening dining experiences my family has ever had…read more When we placed our order, we clearly informed the restaurant that my sister has a **severe seafood allergy** and specifically requested **no shrimp and no seafood** in her picada. Despite that, our meal arrived with **four large shrimp** mixed in with the meat. After eating, my sister quickly became extremely weak and ill. She suffered a severe allergic reaction and had to inject herself with her EpiPen. We then had to monitor her closely because an allergic reaction like this can become fatal within minutes. This was not just a mistake it was a life-threatening situation. When we contacted the restaurant, the manager, Martin Rivera, simply stated that shrimp normally comes with the picada. However, no one informed us of that when we specifically requested **no seafood** because of a serious allergy. Instead of acknowledging the severity of what had happened, showing genuine concern, or taking responsibility, the only resolution offered was a refund. A refund does not erase the fact that my sister's life was put at risk. Food allergies are not preferences they are medical emergencies. Restaurants have a responsibility to take allergy requests seriously and ensure that meals are prepared safely. The lack of concern and accountability shown by management was deeply disappointing. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially families with food allergies. I sincerely hope they change their policies and train their staff before another customer experiences an even more tragic outcome.

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.

Solid Colombian comfort food that sancocho hit the spot!…read moreStopped in for lunch and left very satisfied. I ordered the Sancocho de Costilla and it was packed with tender beef rib, yuca, potato, carrot, plantain, and corn in a rich, flavorful broth. The portion was generous and tasted homemade perfect for a hearty meal. I paired it with a fresh beets salad and crispy tostones on the side. The tostones were perfectly fried (golden and crunchy), and the avocado + lime on the plate added a nice fresh touch. Everything came out hot and well-seasoned. Nothing fancy about the setting, but the food delivers that authentic Colombian taste. Service was friendly and quick. Great value for the portion sizes. Will be back to try more items next time

I asked for some green and pink sauce to add on to the arepa and it was perfection. It was nice and hot the cheese was very stretchy. The taste of chicken and meat was delicious. The arepa itself was thin and so crispy. Best arepa rellena I've had and this is coming from a Colombian. Presentation of food was also very nice. Came wrapped in cardboard and on a wooden board.

Street corn, smashburger, and buffalo?! (Just to name a few) I was not expecting anything more than maybe two different flavors. For the price of slightly over $2 each & discounts on top for the more you get- I'd say it's a great value. We went for the 16 pack - additional 10% off - there was 5 of us total & didn't even finish them all! The sauces that come with are a nice touch although I didn't LOVE all of them, the variety is nice and someone's yuck is someone else's yum! While we were waiting for them to come out we decided to get drinks. The cloud coffee was absolutely divine and I would come back for just that. The frozen strawberry lemonade was on the sweeter side but isn't that to be expected?? Overall I can see why this place has gone "viral". I think it's a great spot to take anyone visiting from out of town to give them a trendy take on this classic Miami snack. I would even come back with a group of friends. Was plenty of parking in the back lot with some reserved spots for this place up front. I also saw lots of people doing pickup orders so that's a nice option- took maybe 10 minutes for our order of 16.

The Christmas decorations were nice, adding nice seasonal ambience while ordering to go (I was battling a cold so had mask on). Their menu has many items to offer and pleasantly surprised to see December Specials! Immediately jumped on the Yuca and Chicharon Croquetas (order includes 5). As for the ones my tongue misses, I ordered two medianoche croquetas, Mexican street corn croquette, Manchego cheese and a Chickem Croquette, and lastly trying for the first time the smash burger croquette. Took them all home, sampled a bit or each one to find the right balance of what to savor last. All were good, the Yuca was nice but could use more chicharon flavor, the smash burger might have needed a bit more burger flavor, but thats about it. I enjoyed the chicken amd also the Manchego cheese croguette. What a creamy manchego. Saving the best for last was the Medianoche. Winner winner croquetta dinner! Love they making the Medianoche! Top notch and still unique! I'd like to get some friends or coworkers some or heck have them come here! Their other offerings on the menu including desserts look equally good!
