The prices are great. So many options to choose from. If you're hungry bring a friend so you all can get a side of their stewed oxtail along with their rotisserie chicken. And omg their crispy roasted pork! They have different beans daily to go along with your rice and there's three different options! You know I fell in love I come here about every two days! And I get a plate for my coworker too! Wait what had me!!!! Was my first bite of the black beans and rice. It took me back to the islands when a friend cooked me her stewed flank steak with black beans and rice. So I've been coming back ever since. Sorry this is long! But I had to express my gratitude for finally finding this gem!

I ordered the white sangria, but I would not order it again. It didn't taste like sangria AT ALL. It tasted like juice, super disappointing. My friend liked her spicy marg, but it wasn't that spicy and said next time she would order the level up version. Cuban fried rice was delish! We got bacon on the side, it honestly didn't need the bacon it's soooo flavorful without it. Massive portion. Bacano bowl with Salmon was delicious. Super fresh. Being from tampa I was excited to try the 1205 salad, their version of The Colombia's 1905 salad. Nothing will top The Colombias, but it was still good.

I'm still dreaming about their Cuban fried rice! This was the second time I've been here, and they…read morewere great both times. We made a reservation for 4 on a Friday night. I'd highly recommend a reservation here, as it gets quite busy. Our table had a variety of drinks and food, such as the pineapple mint margarita, flamboyancy, nachos, and lechon asado. The food and drinks were very good, especially the pineapple mint margarita! This is a great spot for a date night or a girls night out. I will be back!

Beyond dry, large chunks of cold plantain, completely crumbled when I put my fork in it. I asked for pernil and they gave me pork slices which is not the same thing. Everything was extremely dry and they don't even give you chicken broth for the Mofongo. I would never come back or recommend. The worst Mofongo ever. I posted a picture of the correct way to serve Pernil con Mofongo and the way they served it. They're definitely not experienced.

We were taken to the closest table to the door and found out that it wasn't ideal. The other people coming in to wait for a table were standing arms length to our table. We had to ask the waitress to ask them to move and she did so before our food came out. It took around 35 minutes or so to get our food. Everything was phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and so did everyone else. I didn't take pics of everything but we had an empanada and chicken soup for apps and the fish special with beans and plantains. We also drank a Sangria and the soursop juice which was so good. The service was ok. Our server wasn't very attentive and my friend had to get up to go ask for more water. Overall I would recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back.
