    Restaurant was spacious but lacked latin flare, we was not impressed with the mojitos a bartender would make a great suggestion since our server was very proud she made our drinks that did not taste like club soda the appetizer was ok we had a tostada with meat on top and ordered crockets that looked like two small cheese sticks. Restaurant staff was polite and restaurant has lots of potential however it needs to be more authentic. I would not revisit.

    I ordered a tres leches for my boyfriend's birthday and picked it up through DoorDash. The tres leches was $8 so I was expecting a decent sized dessert. The tres leches was served in a little cup maybe 2 inches in diameter. I ended up getting another tres leches from Publix which was half the price and better!

    Amazing Cuban food! I visit Cuban Island every time I am in town. It seems to be a place frequented by repeat customers. I am not one of those people who are concerned about how long it takes to be served. The wait staff have been constantly courteous. If there is a delay, they have let us know the reason for delay. I am pleased to be a part of the repeat customer pool.

    So good.

    I adore this place. Small , quaint and delicious. I usually get close to the same thing every time , beef or pork. Today however I ventured down a new route. I am so stoked. I don't remember the exact name. Grilled fish and shrimp w scallops and linguine instead of penne. I have a new fave. The zesty tomato with the grilled seafood. Dayummm. We had the delicious mussels w toasted Cuban bread... Chardonnay yeah.

    Grabbed some lunch to go. Nice place inside some bar seating and also table seating. They were friendly and fast. I got the grilled chicken salad the chicken was really good and cooked perfect. There wasn't much lettuce. The Lechon Asado was juicy and tender meat with great flavor. They forgot to add the plantains that came with it so I was a bit bummed about that. It did come with rice and beans. I also got a beef empanada that was super crispy and tasted good but there wasn't much beef filling. Overall it was tasty and did the job!

    Fantastic little family owned Cubano restaurant! We were staying across the street and saw all of the great reviews and decided to try. We were seated right away, they have a small dining room with table service. Lots of folks filled tables, so they are clearly popular. We ordered a couple of traditional mojitos that were very well made and fresh. We were not too hungry so we split their sampler appetizer plate and a Cubano sandwich. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our service was fantastic, we had a tall Italian gentleman waiting on us who checked in often. If we were locals we would definitely be regulars here!

    This place has amazing food. Service was a little bit slow the day that we came during lunch. Everything and tasted incredibly fresh and authentic. Normally kimonos are very salty, but this one was not. It was right across from our hotel so I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Melbourne Beach area. Everything had a lemon zest flavor to it.

    It is a must stop, really! I went in with lunch and delighted at my meal. I went old school and jumped on the Cuban sandwich with a side of maduros. Unbeknownst to me, the sandwich came with fries which were good but my waistline didn't need.

Look away for a second and you'll miss it but don't sleep on this hidden gem. I tried a pressed Cuban and beef empanada which are my traditional favs but I won't be playing it safe next time because now I know the quality is 100% and the menu has me excited to try something new. It all tastes homemade in all the best ways. The roasted pork in the pressed Cuban was not neat little slices, it was juicy chunks of pernil made with talent and love. I'm already desperate to come back. Parking is limited. Service was surprisingly fast. Food is takeout only and there are 2 picnic tables outside the gas station along with public beach access across the street.

Because you don't have to reinvent the wheel. This is a very generous portion of food for the price you're gonna pay . I don't mean they go heavy on rice and light on pork. Quite the contrary you are getting your bang for your buck with this meal and if you're still hungry, you're in luck because they have an assortment of desserts that are gonna satisfy that sweet tooth almost as much as that main plate Satisfies most hungers. I grew up eating Spanish food in the south Florida so I'm particular about where I spend my money and I assure you that from my liking and taste buds this place gets it right every time . Don't be shy about simply asking for a double portion of pork if you're trying to avoid carbs and enjoy their coffee first thing in the morning as well I had a great time here I've come back multiple times and I intend to continue coming back. When you first walk in it's located on the right hand side. The staff is completely bilingual, which I think is also neat giving the area and they always offer the best customer service. It feels like you're being greeted from someone welcoming you home.

I look forward to trying other flavors next time. The store could use an updated sign. I was so close to leaving the plaza thinking yelp had outdated info when I couldn't find the venue. The sign was definitely not what I was expecting it to look like and could use a replacement for something brighter like yellow and red.

    OMG WOW! These are the absolute BEST empanadas I have ever eaten! They come in a variety of meals…read morewhere you can mix and match flavors like beef, pork, black bean/ plantains, and cheese. They probably have even more if you ask. They are GLUTEN FREE and the flavor is spectacular! I tried the cheese and my husband got the beef and black bean with plantains. The owner even makes homemade sauces. A green mild and red spicy sauce. Mix the two sauces and you have an amazing flavor and a little heat to go along with the flavor of the empanadas! The cheese is a food lovers dream. Cheese just dripping out of the middle of this creation like a piece of fine art! What can I say except that I have been craving these empanadas ever since I ate them last week! The owner George, is kind, professional and the restaurant at Renningers flea market (one of two locations) is very basic with not much seating but easy enough to find. The overall experience makes this unassuming restaurant seem like just another food booth when it is a diamond among the crowd. Who knew you could get 5 star service and amazing food at a flea market! I have decided that for football weekends I am going to special order a dozen of these and take them home. The overall customer service and atmosphere is so welcoming that you feel like family. Don't miss your chance to try authentic empanadas made with love from a family run business that literally put their heart and soul into making these the best empanadas ever!
