“ genuinely blew me away how good it was. really friendly people and delicious sandwich! definitely get the pork sandwich on midnight bread, they make one of the best i've ever had! ”
“ I came for the Cuban sandwich and stayed for all the other foods. Finally a Cuban done right. Portions were huge, quality was great and the amount of ingredients in the sandwich was perfect. The oxtail was phenomenal, tender fall from the bone and succulent. Shredded beef delicious and is a favorite from here. The steak sandwich was on point and not too smothered in any one ingredients. The guava and cheese pastry was awesome along with the Cuban Coffee. This will be a new spot for me to go anytime I'm in town. ”
“ The food here is awesome... Their lunch plate specials are incredible... The coffee is fantastic. The guy at the front desk was hilarious. Our entire experience here was great. It is a lot of really awesome food for the money. ”
“ New to this area of the State and always looking for good Cuban food. I came across this cafeteria and dropped in to check it out 9am on a Sunday morning. My first impression when I walked in was authentic. There is Cuban themed artwork all over the place, most of it oil paintings. The dining room is large, and everything is clean and organized. There is a large wall mounted menu with traditional items dominating the line up, and they also have cooked food in a “cantina” style that you can order from as well. They had whole fried fish, rice and several other items. Everything looked amazing. I was out riding my motorcycle so I was unable to take food to go, but I sure would have if I had been in a car. I ordered cafe con leche and two pastelitos. It was fabulous. I would have liked the pastelito dough cooked a little more but the guava filling was on point. Everything seems genuine and authentic. The only thing lacking was a friendly and family feel to the experience. The one employee I interacted seemed guarded and withdrawn, but that may have been her personality. When I engaged her, she responded in a friendly way. The people eating at the two other tables were similarly guarded and never made contact or replied to my greeting of Buenos Dias!, even though they were speaking Spanish amongst themselves and clearly understood me. This may have been an isolated, unusual situation, because everything else feels so right. I will definitely be back. ”
“ Great food, super friendly staff. The owners are always here, and the food is top-notch. There is a wide variety of delectable dishes, so don't go expecting tacos or nachos. Try the ropa vieja or the ox tail and rice. My 2 favorites. The con gris rice is a nice base for the main dish. Don't forget a tasty treat like a quesito or other pastry. I have been eating here since they opened several years ago and drive across the state for a visit once in a while. ”
“ This place is a gem! Everything you want in a good classic cubano—perfectly pressed and juicy flavorful meat. Although we only had stomach space for the cubano, the options for the entire cafeteria were tempting and fresh looking. Atmosphere is super chill, and the staff is also really warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend! ”
“ This is one of those place that you’ll keep going back. I don’t live in Florida but so far I have been twice. The food is to die for, homemade, weeeeell seasoned, tasty and huge portions. It’s a family owned business and they very nice people. Must go. ”
“ I love this place. It is not fancy inside, but the food is fantastic, and you get a LOT for your money. We also love the fresh mango juice. I highly recommend it! ”
