It had a generous amount of sausage chunks too. So good! Ambiance here is excellent since we were outdoors and were able to watch all the fun festivities going on at La Placita. We didn't have any issues with the service. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here!

We got a seat outside, overlooking the water with the most beautiful view. (If you come you have to sit outside!) They also had live music which made it so special. We decided to order the platanos rellenos of ropa vieja and they were so good. Being from Miami and missing home, these definitely hit the spot. We also ordered sorullitos which were fried perfectly and so tasty. For dinner we split a cubano sandwich and it was so hearty. The pork was done to perfection and it was a perfect meal to split since we wanted to pick at different things. I can't wait to go back and try one of their dinner entrees!

We sat on the covered porch on the water as we waited for the rain (and the roads) to clear. I parked across the street, which was fine. The patio was nice, right on the water with boats bobbing and nice views. Service was team-style, with a young and enthusiastic staff who spoke English but really challenged my Spanish ability as well! Food came out pretty quick. I had a mojito which frankly was far from the best I had in this trip (it was t too sweet but the mont leaves seemed whole, not muddled). We had the conch ceviche which was EXCELLENT. We also split the seafood paella, which was also EXCELLENT. I was also very jealous of the whole red snapper being served at the table next to us, but no regrets - the squid, conch, shrimp, octopus, and mussels in the paella were all fantastic. Nice views, nice service, great food. Would highly recommend.

Awesome food, whether you are going for the small plates or the full entrees, the portions are large and the prices very reasonable. Highly recommended. If you are a carnivore, go for the steaks.

The lamb chops were tender and juicy, the black rice reminded me of how my abuela used to do, and every dish that came to the table was flavorful from start to finish. I'd def recommend.

When I arrived, the restaurant was pretty packed already. The 2-seat tables were all occupied, leaving a few 4-seat ones open which I knew the staff was hesitant to give to a solo diner. But they did seat me right away. I ordered a ceviche and a grouper filet with rice & beans and maduros. The ceviche took over 30 minutes to come and the entree also took another 30 minutes to come. It was busy but that was a bit much. Both items were fine. Nothing blew my socks off. Definitely not what I was expecting since it came highly recommended by a local.
