Now let's get to the best part.... The FOOD is insanely good. The Cuban sandwich is by far my favorite in Miami. The perfect blend of juicy and crispy, the pork is perfectly seasoned and they don't skimp as you can see in the pics. The plating on every meal is above and beyond and much better than most Michelin star restaurants I've been to.

Although I was tempted by many items on this menu, I went with the mofongo chicken habanero and…read morearroz con gandules. Ladling the bone broth over each bite of mofongo created very comforting mouthfuls. I would've preferred pork belly instead of chicken, but we already had it as an appetizer so I opted for chicken habanero. I feel the breading on the chicken was a little too filling for this dish and the pork would've added some needed sweetness. Overall a substantial meal with exotic flavors. I appreciate the changing menu, and look forward to seeing what's next! Comparing older photos of the menu, there's no longer a time restriction for burgers and sandwiches (all available after 3 PM). There's a standard 15% gratuity added to each bill. Dining area felt small, and a little too close to everything. This place might benefit from an upgraded space.

The person taking our order was friendly and gave us a heads up that the chicken had a decent amount of heat, which I appreciated. Food took a little time to come out, but everything arrived fresh and hot. The burger was juicy without being messy, and the habanero chicken had good flavor beyond just spice. What stood out most was how relaxed the atmosphere felt even during the dinner rush. Staff stayed attentive and kept checking on tables without hovering too much. It felt like a solid local place people actually return to often.

A Puerto Rican coworker told me Coqui by Tayta's in Homestead was the best Puerto Rican food he'd…read morehad outside of Puerto Rico. That's a bold claim. Turns out, he was right. My wife and I both ordered mofongo, mine with bistec encebollado, hers with chicharrón de pollo. The mofongo was garlicky, hearty, and soaked up the rich broth like a sponge. The steak and onions were pure comfort food, while the crispy chicken skin shattered with every bite. This isn't fancy food. It's food made with care, tradition, and a clear love for Puerto Rican culture. If you're driving through South Florida on your way to the Keys, make this stop.

We got a sampler platter that included some croquetas, plantain chips, tamal, fried pork chunks, and fried shrimp. Zero complaints about anything! So so good. My main was the Sopa de Res, which was a hearty soup. The serving size was gigantic. I actually took most of it back with me and it made two more meals. There were lots of root vegetables, slow cooked beef still on the bone, a side of rice and corn. My dad got a huge Cuban sandwich that he also ate on for days and my mom had empanadas, which I finished off for a third meal. We also went back for pie. That was ok - it was extremely rich and kind of pricy at $13 a slice. I also tried their Cortadito and took it to go. Great coffee as well. Highly, highly recommend eating here.

We made egg and cheese sandwiches. I should've bought two loaves. The guava filled pastries were very good too. The cannoli was dry and the cream filling was too sweet. I'm glad I only received 1 of 2 cannolis. It wasn't good, but I did pay for it. The lady who helped me was nice, but took her time chatting with her coworkers and coming back to me.
