So a small hole in the wall again... and food was home made and delicious. We went later in the evening and it was close to closing time it was empty so ambiance was good. Fairly priced for all the food you get. Customer service was great!!

Bistec with congri and maduros.

Delicious, high quality food in a no-frills setting. We found this place on Yelp and we're very pleased with the food and service. They have about 6 different meals with choice of rice and side. I ordered the bistec encebollado and my husband ordered the chicken. Both were delicious!

Pork with Yellow rice , fried plantains and potatoes

I've been on the hunt for for an authentic Cuban experience, and I do believe I have found it with restaurant La Palma. I would say that this restaurant is off the beaten Path. You will not be able to find this unless you are actively searching for it. The restaurant itself you will see mostly everything in Spanish but they do have English menus available... I got the pork with yellow rice and also added sweet plantains and some potatoes. The pork was so flavorful and tender, and the yellow rice compliments it very well... the plantains were soft and fried and so sweet it. Oh my goodness it is a amazing.!!!!! Overall, I'll give this place five stars and I will definitely be back for more..... bone app a Titty

This new Cuban place on Preston Highway has it going on. Super friendly service and good cheap eats. Combo plates are $9.99. Choose a meat, a rice and a side. Today they had lamb shank, brisket, beef stew and chicken stew to choose from. They also had a couple of soups and empanadas. I chose the lamb shank with the rice congris and fried plantains. The portion was enormous. I'm stuffed and I have more than half left for lunch tomorrow. Give these guys a try, you will not regret it.

Authentic Cuban food at least it seems like. Cool vibe, great service, and food is terrific…read more Check it out.

Whenever we asked someone to recommend somewhere to eat, they invariably would say La Bodeguita. I…read moream not exaggerating, every single person. We were leaving for the second leg of our trip and were running late, as usual. We decided to run across the street for a sit down lunch, what's another hour? Two smiling faces greeted us at the door. They offered a high top but my hip was absolutely not digging it nor a table up the flight of steep stairs. Once seated, we were greeted promptly and had water in front of us almost immediately. We each ordered soup and then a sandwich to share. I had the Sopa de Pollo . A hot bowl thick with thin noodles and lots of chunks of chicken. The chunks were too big to eat without being cut up which was a challenge in a bowl of broth. It was so hot that I had to wait a while to try it and even then had to blow on it. It was delicious. Unless the soup is your meal, order a cup. I still took nearly a pint of soup back with me. My husband ordered the Frijole Negro - a huge bowl of black beans that was served with a large pile of raw onions on top. Like the chicken soup, it was burn your mouth hot and a very large serving. He said it was good but he'd not order it again. Moving on to the sandwich. We had the Cubano. I'm not even going to describe it - just trust me - order the Cubano. Do not look at the rest of the menu - order the Cubano. Don't even bother looking at the ingredients, just order the Cubano. Have you ordered it yet? Do it already. The Cubano is huge. We split one half and had the other when we arrived at our next stop. Do consider that we had soup first; otherwise, we'd have eaten the whole thing. The accompanying plantain chips were worthy of their own review. They were wonderful. Who knows if and when we'll be back to Louisville but when we are, La Bodeguita will be the first place we stop. BTW, have you ordered the Cubano yet? What are you waiting for? Put your phone done and order it! Enjoy!!

Leave it to my family to find a Latin store in Kentucky. My cousin had to have his Cuban coffee,…read morenot an espresso. Lol. Well, this place had most of the Cuban staples like croquetas and pastelitos. They took advantage of ordering lunch as well for the trip. They ordered a croqueta preparada and a rabo encendido (ox tail) and they were very much enjoyed. I had a pastelito de carne (meat turnover). It was not like the ones in Miami but I could not complain since I was just glad to have a taste of home. They also had all kinds of Latin produce and ingredients. It was not so busy when we came in but it was packed when we left therefore check times to get in and out faster.

First & Foremost: I will be returning to try the different items in their bakery case!…read more This is a grocery/restaurant. I came in on a Friday evening, less than an hour before they closed. Because of that, the food was a little limited, most of the items they had out were nearing the bottom, and they didn't have many things out. Because of the lack of lack of options I decided to get the cubano sandwich, the tres leches cake, & a drink. The sandwich was massive. I ate one half and saved the other to give to my husband. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ham they used, but my husband liked it all the same. I was a fan of the bread! Not sure how they made it so good and crispy, but it was amazing. The sandwich itself was just okay. The tres leches cake. I really loved the icing (the pink one). The cake was good but I don't think it was moist enough. It was a two tier cake so perhaps that's the reasoning. I got the small one (about $7) and it was easily enough for 4 decent size servings. Overall a cute little local place & I can't wait to go back for bread and other desserts!

My friend ordered the Empanadas and a Cuban sandwich. I didn't get a picture of the Cuban sandwich but it looked amazing. She said both were great. Our server did an excellent job checking on us regularly but not too much. She kept our water filled when she noticed they were getting empty. The environment is cozy, with festive lights on the window between the main room and the closed in patio. There is always a buzz in the restaurant and if you live in the area, you will likely see someone you know here.
