I have to say this place has the best Mofongo in town!!! I am born and raised in Lehigh and can't believe this is the first time trying this restaurant out.

Smiling wait staff!

We were planning to do a Cuban culinary exploring trip to Little Havana in Miami. One of my friends suggested we try Naples Rumba Cuban Café and Azucar in Lehigh Acres. Rumba at Naples is closed for vacation this week! Flying solo today, I drove to Lehigh Acres' Azucar! Azucar is located in the Lehigh Acres Towne Center, about good 35-minute drive from Fort Myers. This appears to be a local favorite and styled in a working-class Cuban café. Painting of Celia Cruz and Cuban sites were hanging on the wall. Started sipping with a café con leche while looking at the menu, smell of Cuban food permeated from the kitchen. Ropa Vieja was not available today but I asked for Vaca Frita - pan fried shredded beef with yellow rice and black beans. The Vaca Frita was cooked to perfection; full with flavor with onions and delicious mojo. The black beans and yellow rice make this meal complete! Next table's Lechon Asado and Camarones Al Ajillo were so appealing and it was impossible to keep my eyes off their plates. I got it now, Monday's lunch special, Fricase de Pollo (chicken stew), Tuesday, Ropa Vieja (shredded beef) , Wednesday, Picadillo Habanero (Cuban beef hash) , Thursday, Carne con Papa (beef and potato stew), and Friday, Higado (Liver). The waitresses were friendly. Truly, this is authentic Cuban Café and well worth the trip! Will need several visits to satisfy my taste bud! 4 1/2 Stars rounding up to 5 Stars! An amazing recommendation from my friend!

Yuca hervida con mono

I was craving vaca frita and not all Cuban joints put it on the menu. Me thinks because it is a pain to make! Anyhoo for just under $14 you get a plate of this with a choice of two sides. Got the congri, which is black beans cooked with white rice. The black bean sauce colors the rice. It was a staple in my house growing up. It was legit. As was the yuca hervida con mojo. They also have fried yuca. Anyway, the vaca frita was good. They are supposed the shred it and cover it with onions, but someone got lazy. It's all good though, bc I did it myself and it tasted great. Just needed a dash of salt, and for me personally, a squeeze of lemon. The lechón asado was ok and we enjoyed the chicken limón de saltimbo, which is a lemon sauce with capers over seared chicken. The side salad is a hispanic version of a salad, which literally means pieces of lettuce with a couple of slices of tomato and maybe some onions. It is what it is folks, and I would not expect anything less. The rice portions are absurd! Who eats that much rice?!! The amount of rice given could easily feed four people.

Swai

Husband and I went here for the first time any the food was really good. We ordered to go which too about 15 minutes or less. Everything was packaged well. You can dine in here and I like that it's seems relaxed and I love that it's local. My only issue is that order grille Swai and got fried Swai instead. I wasn't already home by the time opened the container. Otherwise I would have pointed that out.

What a great atmosphere! They all this cool lighting. We stopped in a Thursday night. We had the…read moremost charming server. She was kind and witty and helpful. We ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and then the Fajitas with chicken and skirt steak. Both were excellent. I had black beans as a side. They were amazing! We wished that maybe we had just split the Fajitas because the portions were huge. But my husband took one for the team and polished off the Fajitas. This place is worth visiting again!

Based on…read moreother reviews I now see it wasn't a coincidence and that we weren't the only ones to experience this. The food was extremely salty, overpriced, and not worth the cost. The service was just as disappointing , we waited about 15 minutes. The server took another couples order that came in 5 minutes after we were seated, before she even greeting us then said she would be right back and made us wait an additional 5 minutes. She even had a rude stuck up attitude throughout the visit, (they charge you 18-20% tip service fee to your bill automatically) so I assumed that's also another reason they give awful service. The alcoholic drinks were disgusting and a waste of money. They also brought out incorrect items and responded with even more attitude when the mistakes were mentioned. The atmosphere felt unwelcoming and had undertones of racial bias.. Although I'm Hispanic, I look white and all of the friends I came with were not hispanic, and the way we were treated from other guests in the restaurant were noticeably different and uncomfortable. Overall, the experience came across as unfriendly, disrespectful, discriminatory and disappointing, this was our first and last visit here and I will tell everybody I know locally to avoid this place at all cost due to the experience we had!

What a great way to start the day with Cuban Coffee Café Con Leche …read more I can't stop coming back, nor do I want to , to get my Cuban coffee . If you want hot authentic Cuban Food for breakfast and lunch. This is the place. La Princess Bakery makes fresh cakes and pastries . If you're in the Lehigh area, drop in and give them a try. Maria is the best, always a smile on her fave and always says Good morning to everyone who walks through the door.""

Princesa Cuban Bakery is in a small mall along the Homestead Road in Lehigh Acres. Many years ago,…read morethis was a German Restaurant with good Schnitzels and beers. Princesa has been established for nearly 5 years. This is my first visit here. There are two or three outside tables and five inside tables with more than 6 or 7 feet apart. A little sign inside displays "Coffee, prayer & Conversation always welcome here" They serve breakfast, lunch, and meals from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM with eggs, toasts, empanada, croquet, spaghetti and Pizza. A friend informed me that she loves their Cuban Sandwich, Chicken Empanada, pastry, and coffee there! The menu is limited but do very well in everything they prepare. An excellent business strategy! We ordered a Cuban Sandwich, Beef Empanada, Guava and Cheese Pastellito, and a Batido de Mamey for lunch. The Cuban Sandwich was huge and tasty. Beef Empanada flavorful, and the Batido de Maney (Mamey Milkshake) was creamy and smooth. The price is reasonable and it was too much food for two. We saved the Guave and Cheese Pastellito for afternoon coffee break. The ambiance is a relaxed neighborhood bakery and café. The staff is friendly and will answer any question about their menu! This is a hidden gem in Lehigh Acres.
