    Side of white rice and sweet plantains
    Elizabeth M.

    We come here fairly often for dinner. We got the bread for the table but it was hard, cold, and stale. However, the rest of the food was relatively good. We ordered the ajiaco, the regular vaca frita, and the chicken vaca frita. The vaca fritas came with three sides and we got the same for each: rice, beans, and sweet plantains. It's a great amount of food. The rice and beans were absolutely delicious. The ajiaco and both vaca frita entrees were specials for Monday. The only other issue we had was that the chicken vaca frita felt like it was unseasoned, which was a first for us with this location. The service was quick and friendly. Overall, it was great.

    Arroz con Cerdo Tuesday Special.
    Sara D.

    We came with a hungry crowd to have dinner. The toasted bread trays with garlic butter were devoured before a photo could be taken of the trays. Baby Palomilla for the children with rice and French Fries respectively. The children ate the steak and they are picky eaters. That was a good sign. Two of us had the special for Tuesday of Arroz con Carme de Puerco, Maduros, Tostones y Ensalada de Aguacate. Another Baby Steak with Salad for an adult. And the other special for Tuesday, apáticas de Cerdo with rice, Garbanzos and Salad. Lemonade Frappée to accompany the dinner. Flan & Pudín de Pan for dessert. Not a morsel was left of anything

    The race is circled

    The food is good. I just don't like the rice. But it's good. The service is good. I like everything else. I just don't like the rice that's all that all that I don't like

    Food is always great at this place. Very spacious, plenty of seats. The service is always great, the ladies are always very attentive . We love coming here for breakfast, lunch and dinner hahaha. They make amazing batido de mamey, I am obsessed. The portions they serve are always large, you might want to share or prepare to take some food home.

    I was waiting for my lunch forever. It came unsatisfactory. Then I decided to leave.

    bad tasting food. Sloppy servers. Enough said. Out of all Cuban places you can visit I wouldn't return here.

    Cafe con leche evaporada
    Noelle P.

    Happy to find a place like this in my new neighborhood. It's one of those small hole in the wall types who never disappoint no matter what you get. Our favorite dish is the Vaca Frita which comes with rice and beans and Maduros. Always delicious. Always fresh. Chicken steak sandwich is also a favorite. We come for breakfast often. Their Tortilla de Platano is the perfect combination of savory and sweet. Pair that with their passion fruit juice and you will be glad you took my advice. Not only do they make Cuban toast but they also make French bread toast which is light and crispy and buttery. Pair this with Cuban coffee and evaporated milk. You're welcome!!!

    My experience here was awesome. I'm actually still sitting here. I was helped by Patricia who was…read morespectacular; the order came out as I'd hoped for with specific attention to my liking. Her customer service and attention to detail was awesome, ensuring she stopped by multiple times throughout to top off water and check on my experience. I went with the grilled Chicken breast and double side of tostones which tasted fantastic. Of note, I covered the tostones in the garlic like sauce while they were hot, which rendered them a fine combo of crunchy and somewhat soft- in short, awesome. Personally, no meal is finished without some form of coffee at the end. I admit this habit stems from my upbringing and a penchant for American, French and Italian fare but this was no different. I enjoyed a Cortadito which tasted amazing and had beautiful presentation. If I could rate this experience 6 stars I would. They knocked it out of the park. Note: They're FIU student, police and county friendly to boot.

From the pizzas to the entrées, everything is outstanding. I celebrated my birthday here just last week, and as always, it was excellent. The churrasco is consistently tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The mushroom risotto is rich, creamy, and bursting with earthy mushroom goodness. For dessert, we shared the warm banana bread with salted caramel ice cream, and wow... I still can't stop thinking about it.

Unfortunately, today was a very different experience. It took about five minutes for anyone to acknowledge us, even though the bar wasn't busy. I ordered an Old Cuban Old Fashioned, one of my favorites, and was surprised to see the bartender use his hands instead of tongs to put the ice into the glass. I ended up sending the drink back because the glass was dirty. The second drink was made by another bartender, and again, I noticed him using his hands instead of tongs to handle the ice. The food was still great, but after today's experience, I'll definitely be paying much closer attention to how my drinks are prepared. I've always had a great experience at Finka, which is why today was especially disappointing. I hope this was just an off day and not a change in their usual standards.

Pro tip: ask for extra meat on the plate and you can definitely share between two people. They give you a lot of rice and plantains. So there is usually leftovers. Another tip: Use the vinegar they give you for extra flavor on the meat or buy a side of chimichuri.. definitely worth the extra $$.
