    Making my cafecito and cafe con leche
    Miguel R.

    Seriously this place is the diamond in the rough the needle in a haystack the Golden goose egg!!! I have traveled and eaten in many so called Cuban joints and this place is hands down authentic and real!! I can't believe it doesn't have more reviews!!

    My husband and I moved from Miami about 3 years ago, we have explore other so called Cuban restaurants in the city, until today we have found this amazing little hidden gem. This is a pretty casual place,the ambiance was laid back(typical afternoon lunch at abuela )service was good, and most importantly food was delicioso for the price. We have found our new favorite place for breakfast and lunch( too bad is not open for dinner). They have daily lunch special, can wait to try them all. Check them out if you want to eat real Cuban food,you will not regret it !!!!! Till next time ;)

    Good for a quick lunch place that is local. The Cuban sandwich actually has real pork and not deli style like some places.

    + (5+ Stars) - Fernando the Bull…read more This place delivers more than just a meal. It delivers an experience that stays with you. From the moment the food hit the table, you could tell it was made with care, pride, and tradition. Every bite had purpose. I started with the yuca rellena, and it set the tone right away. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it was packed with flavor. The filling was rich and well-seasoned, creating the perfect balance of texture and taste. It was not just good, it was memorable. The pork sandwich was outstanding. The pork was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. Each bite had a deep, savory flavor that felt authentic and satisfying. Nothing was rushed or thrown together. You could taste the time and attention behind it. The yellow rice and beans were exactly what they should be. Simple, flavorful, and comforting. This is the kind of side dish that does not try to steal the show, but still stands strong on its own. The fried yuca brought everything together. Golden, crisp, and cooked perfectly, it added that extra layer of texture that made the entire meal complete. What stood out most was the consistency. Every item on the plate was done right. No shortcuts. No weak spots. Just solid, high-quality food across the board. If you are looking for real flavor, real portions, and food made with pride, this is a place you need to visit. I will absolutely be back.

    My first time trying Cuban cuisine,and it was delicious. The server was excellent on helping us a…read moredish on the menu. The restaurant decor was really cute. I really liked the bowl that they had outside in the dining area. The restaurant was celebrating the World Cup and they had drink specials at the time I was there. I really enjoyed this restaurant.
