We shared the Fiesta Salad and King Arugula Panini, and both were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful and clearly made with care. The Pineapple Tea and Purple Butterfly drinks were wonderful too! But what really made Saliches special were the owners. They could not have been more welcoming, warm and genuinely kind. They made us feel less like customers and more like guests they were truly happy to have. Add in the charming, relaxed atmosphere and beautiful patio, and we honestly didn't want to leave. It's rare to find a place with great food, great vibes AND genuinely wonderful people behind it. Saliches has all three. If you're anywhere near Lake Wales, do yourself a favor and stop here. We will absolutely be back. Five stars isn't enough!

They have an extensive drink menu, but my go-to is the coquito latte. It's a delicious mixture of evaporated milk, cinnamon, and espresso. The ambience invites you to sit and enjoy your coffee, even grab a book from their library and read for a while. The service is quick. Today I was given a sample of a future breakfast item, the oatmeal. It was creamy and had a great touch of cinnamon. If you are in need of a warm atmosphere and amazing coffee, please give Castro's Cafe a visit!

It was quiet atmosphere like being at grandmas house. Just a low key atmosphere. Everything was fair priced. Food was pretty basic. Nothing to rave about.

The curry was ok. It didn't have a lot of flavor. It was cooked fine but it was not engaging my tastebuds very well. Kinda flat. I need my curry to be alive and hit me. Just underwhelmed here.

The space itself is small and unremarkable but the service was quick and friendly. I was pointed to the daily special on the whiteboard but decided to try a classic BLT. The food was ready shortly and I took it back to my office to eat. The BLT was neatly made and very tasty. It comes with one side, and I chose potato salad--I could have eaten a gallon of it, very flavorful and the perfect accompaniment! All in all, a decent price at $11 and I'll be back to try their French dip.

The Cuban sandwich was perfectly pressed and packed with flavor, and the fried pork with onions was tender, seasoned perfectly, and absolutely delicious alongside the yellow rice and black beans.

The walls were filled with quirky, fun artwork, vintage Cuban décor, and old antique signs that gave the restaurant so much character and charm. You could tell a lot of love and personality went into creating the space. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

Like an upscale version of a food court with each having its own building but they all share a courtyard. We've been to a couple of the restaurants here, but this one was my least favorite. We both ordered the crispy rice tuna burrito. It was huge! And it was very crispy but there just wasn't any flavor. We ended up having to ask for eel sauce for something to give it some flavor. Now the service was wonderful. There were only two people and they handled it pretty well. I also didn't like the hot sake we ordered. It tasted like a mix of wine and hot vinegar. Having said all that we are going to go back and try the poke bowls because those did look amazing!
