Had a lovely dinner here tonight with some great friends. We started our with the sampler appetizer that we shared. Everything on the platter was delicious! Then I had the arroz con pollo which was by far my favorite version of this dish. My husband had the Masa Frita. Our friends had Ropa vieja and pasta ala Havana. Everything was delicious, had great presentation and came out at great intervals. Our server was great, attentive from a distance and made sure she always had full glasses.

First time here and pleasantly surprised how good everything was. The waitress was terrific, the water views were nice to look at while unwining and eating. My husband and I both had the Cubana sandwich. Very good! The French fries are hand cut. The sauce it came with was unlike anything I've had before. My husband has a non alcoholic Mojito that was delicious 😋 We would highly recommend

What an amazing find! The best Cuban food you will find between NC and Miami. The Vaca Frita and Cuban coffee are super authentic and tasty. The atmosphere is also very warm and inviting. I felt like I stepped into a nice little cafe in South Beach. My wife and I will absolutely be back.

Called in for take out. Order was ready faster than a Chinese restaurant! Host was cordial and friendly. I was amazed it wasn't packed. Food great with very generous portions that were visually appealing and tasty. Would definitely return. Its a hidden gem next to Eddie's that accentuate each other. If you like Cuban food I would highly recommend.

I just wanted to be known, as a native South Floridian I've had the pleasure of experiencing many Cuban restaurants all over South Florida and by far hands down this is the greatest restaurant I've been to. My meal the food the beans were amazing and to have such a fusion of flavor and seasoning in the food. Hands down top down greatest Cuban restaurant Ever. I'm even tempted to lick the plate like a madman. And the service is so nice and courteous and you can see the effort and training just exuded from them
