Ed C.

Great friendly service. Small establishment with packed tables. I had to sit at the counter when I stopped by for lunch on a Friday. My Cortadito arrived quickly. Let barista know how sweet you want it. My order arrived shortly after. My "Ropa Vieja" was seasoned to perfection. The white rice and black beans could have used a pinch of salt. Mixed together it all tasted great. Since place was packed the atmosphere was rather loud. Fair prices.

CAPPUCCINO!
Jake D.

Wow, wow, and wow again! First of all, service was impeccable. We were trying to find a little coffee shop to eat a snack before a "late-lunch-early-dinner" later that day! This was actually not what we had in mind, but we were pleasantly surprised to be seated and given menus of a plethora of amazing food! The waiter was patient with us and I got a cappuccino and ham and cheese empanadas. Perfect meal to hold me over for a while. Such delectable and scrumptious food! Got to sit outside with the breeze too! Will be returning when we come back to Flaardia!

Cuban sandwich
Bart C.

Very good Cuban sandwich. Great bread and much thicker than other Cuban sandwiches that I've had in the past. A Mi Manera is still my favorite but this place is very good. I would go back.

Latte

Love Citanos! This is good place for some breakfast or lunch! Had the garbanzos with jasmine rice, beef steak with eggs they were all great! Love the lattes too! The service was prompt even with the restaurant full capacity. Nice place with modern decor. The prices were very reasonable.

Vaca frita
Edwin S.

I usually have a rule of thumb that I won't review a local place unless I try it at least of couple of times. My second visit to Citanos was sort of out of necessity. Someday after a long morning that spills into your afternoon, you just want to eat something that reminds you of home. Citanos just happened to be the closest thing to us at the time. Whilst, Citanos does almost everything possibly right that you can do with a Cuban restaurant in an over-saturated Cuban restaurant market, there's just one thing that rung true upon both visits to Citano's that will probably get me to double-think my decision of visiting them again. Seasoning, or lack thereof. Cuban cuisine is supposed to hit you over the head with seasoning; recipes that are passed down from generation to generation. We've tried the vaca frita, ropa vieja, and palomilla steak, all Cuban staples, and all were severely underseason and underwhelming unfortunately. But, every item was done well. I haven't tried their sandwiches yet but if I do find myself back at Citanos, I will for sure see what their sanguichero is up to. If you do visit Citanos, do not pass on the croquetas. Probably some of the best scratch made croquetas you can get this north of Miami. Fried fresh to order every time and so, so worth the wait. Seems like all their pastries seem to sell out. That's usually a good sign folks. Their coffee is also up to par. Man, did that cortado hit the spot.

Best Cuban food in the Cape, no question. Great service, so cute inside, good portions, delicious food, pastelitos, and coffee.

I thought I try this place before I got my nails done. I did want anything heavy so I did the chicken salad. Never had a salad like this but it hit the spot. I think it needs a little more flavor. Not bad for $6.95 There case for pastries was empty but while I was waiting they had a sheet of fresh pastelito de queso come out. Ohhhh so good! Best o ever had! No wonder they were out!

Pastelitos

Finally found a Cuban Bakery in Cape Coral with the right ambience, quality and service. Highly recommended, the croquetas are amazing, you can tell they are homemade and the pastelitos are to die for.

Most brunch place operate from 7 AM to 2-3 PM but The Brunch Factory open from 7 AM to midnight! Breakfast served all day! There are three separate area, "Outside bar", "Inside bar" and backroom. The backroom has Corn Holes and Dart Boards. It is designed for group gatherings. Live music is available on the weekend. The food was fine! I ordered an Uncle Larry Berries. What I got was fresh strawberries, blueberries, drizzled with raspberry sauce with power sugar and whipped cream over Belgian waffle. The portion is generous. The butter and warm maple syrup made this the best Strawberry/Blueberry waffle I had! Besides great selection for brunch, they have dinner items like BBQ ribs, Chicken Alfredo, ribeye steak, and others. Service is warm and welcoming. The vibe is playful, fun and up beating. It is not an upscale but local community minded facility. A great place to hang out with friends and family. I was impressed by the food and the atmosphere. If you enjoy brunch dishes and a lively atmosphere, you have to try The Brunch Factory!

I understand that this used to be a "biker bar", thus the motorcycle on the roof. The place is a little different. There is a full bar "outside", with lots of seating outside. There is seating inside, but it's mostly empty space. There are two "back rooms". One has Corn Hole and the other has Dart Boards. The food was okay. Service was okay. Pricing is a little on the higher side. Seems like a good place to hang out with friends for drinks. Maybe not for fine dining.

The holiday drink specials were fun and tasty with different combos of alcohol and ingredients. The Dip, Dip Hurray was very good as well as the Chichen and The Egg deviled eggs. The smash burger was so good resting in Guoda sauce. The staff is friendly and fun and eager to please your tastes, they stressed that everything is prepared fresh and they can accommodate anything. One last thing that is not food/drink related is this, the bathrooms had signs that said "inclusive". I cannot stress how important and compassionate this is, especially during this time in our society. This shows that you as a company, value everyone who comes in to dine here regardless of who they are. The only negative for this place, and it really isn't a negative, is that you don't have another location in Winter Garden/Orlando Florida. If you did,we would be regulars.

Took refuge at the bar and met with Celines who provided us info on some popular sandwiches. The condiments were stuffed into used beer 6-pack cartons which was a nice custom touch that did not go unnoticed. Ordered a 3D Vagabond Hazy 6.9% and the 10 Twenty Five Double Smash Burger with caramelized onions smothered in smoked gouda cheese and a side of green onion slaw. Holy Crap, it was an easy top three burger. Hard to eat though with a constant smile on my face. The gender assigned bathroom was clean and decorated with beer company placards on the walls and cracked cement industrial flooring. Perfect addition to the rest of the pub.

I had a superb braised short rib on a mushroom truffle risotto. The short rib was clearly not a short rib ( I suspect a nice size serving of chuck, well trimmed and perfect cooked) because of its leanness and size. Whatever it was it was delicious. The risotto was perfectly timed and delicious as well. I chose the Billionaires Bacon as a starter. It was great and a very generous portion. Service (Katherine) was excellent.

I wanted to order a bar drink so I hadn't even looked at the menu yet, and same for the rest of my party so we asked her to come back in a few minutes. I'm not sure if this made her angry but we sat for about 20 min after that while she heavily served the people next to us with no waters or anything and also worked behind the bar... When she finally came over we gave our drink order and put in an app. We ordered the calamari and I ordered an espresso martini. Both were great! She still seemed to be taking so so long in between ordering. Our whole dinner took over 3 hours from 7:30, passed 10 For dinner I ordered shrimp scampi which was also so so good and for dessert we ordered the cheese cake which was also solid! I'm not sure I'd go back, for the price and amount of food they serve just didn't seem worth it to me as none of us had left overs but overall a solid meal
