The lady behind the counter serving does not speak a lick of English and my Spanish is not up to par so I always end up getting more than I really want. Their chicharon is super good and they chop it up to however much you want into bite size pieces. The con leche is also really good. I've had about 6 different things there and they've always been fresh. The food comes out fresh and hot early in the morning. Its crowded with workers getting their lunches to go. This place is also very very cheap for the quality and quantity they serve. Lots of choices. It is very had to find though it's in the back of a Latino grocery store across the side street from Home Depot in Brandon on 60.

They used to have a wonderful hot food buffet. I was told they changed hands and now the quality of…read morethe food is horrible. I catered from them several times in the past, but I will now look elsewhere. I guess the new owner brought in his own people to cook and they are horrible!! Shameful because I will never go there to eat again. If I could leave a zero review, I would.

Such a tiny place but it is BURSTING with flavor!! Without a doubt some of the best food I had eaten in a very long time. You have to really pay attention to find it off Hwy 60 as this place is tucked away pretty well on Montclair between Lithia Pinecrest and Bryan Rd. The owner was super duper sweet and suggested this dish for us to share. I would have enjoyed the carne asada if I could cut it but we just got plasticware. Thats really the only negative thing I have to say. La Cocina de Cris is great, the food is better than great, and we can't wait to go back!! I think I can still feel my tongue dancing from all the flavors. :)

We ordered the picanha and chicharrones--both delicious--and the lychee margarita was amazing. Our server was super attentive and assisted with accommodating some requests with no issues.

Since it was just the two of us, we got seated right away, but we only had about an hour and fifteen minutes to eat before the live music and shows started.

It came with rice, beans, and plantains, and the portion was really big for the price. I also got the natural soursop juice, which was really good and refreshing. I tried the Colombian tamal too, and it was HUGE! It came with rice and was very filling. We also got a sandwich with smashed fried plantains, an empanada for my little sister, and some pandebono. Everything was really good! My parents are from Colombia, so they really enjoyed this place and loved the Colombian food. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice, and it's a very family-friendly restaurant. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the service was great. I would definitely come back and give Cali Viejo 5 stars!

I got the paisa, and when it came out, I was shocked with how much food it was. Definitely worth the money, and a friend of mine got the sampler as a main dish, and it was fantastic! My favorite was the blood sausage for sure! The service was kind, but I will say that there was a good amount of wait for the food. Honestly, I didn't mind it at all. The ambiance is more fancy than I expected but it was a pleasant surprise!

This had all the promise in the world, and unfortunately, it felt very short. I went out with a…read morefriend to test the restaurant after a long afternoon and some serious hunger. So after I ordered the meal I can tell that 2 things went wrong. The side of bbq sauce I requested was missing and my partner asked for brown rice and instead got white rice. So we ordered the empanada and that was deliciously good. Full of flavor. I got the toston with pork and the disappointing part about this was the fact that the toston was not fully fried was disappointing. There's parts that were in the middle of the stone that weren't crispy and I can tell just by the fact that I was cutting into it too easily. Even worse than the rice bowl. When you first start eating it it's pretty good because it's warm. For whatever odd reason it is, it tends to lose its temperature very very fast. It was way too soon and then it started to taste very bland in flavor. I couldn't even eat the rest we ended up throwing it out. I wouldn't come back because it's definitely not in the area that I live in. But even worse than that I've definitely been to other Latin bowl like restaurants that ha

My rating is 3.5 stars I ordered via Door Dash…read more Delivery was quick and everything was as requested. However, the food was cold and had to be reheated. After being packed it was delivered within 20 mins so the temperature it arrived it doesn't make sense. That complaint aside, the food was very tasty and all of the flavors complimented each other. Shredded Beef Rice Bowl- including small pieces of sweet plantains along with the cilantro lime sauce elevates this dish. I also included corn, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese. 5/5 Chicken Rice Bowl- the chicken was hard even after reheating. I included spinach, sweet plantains, tomatoes, corn, and cheese . The Jalapeño sauce added a very small kick to it and they were generous with the sauce. 4/5 Beef Empanada- after reheating it lost its crispiness. The beef was well seasoned and included olives and a yellow something (not sure what it was) . 4/5 Free Chips and Salsa- Chips were crispy but salt less and the salsa had the consistency of marinara sauce. My husband and I were not fans of these. 2/5 I would like to come in and try new items in person. I would also like to note for anyone that orders on Door Dash, you are limited with how you can customize the bowls. For example, you can choose your sauce but there isn't an option to let you put it on the side instead of on top.

I didn't know about this place until my Yelp friend Tim wrote an awesome detailed review about it…read more It took me a while to try it, but I finally did last year. He was very right. Naida makes some tasty Cuban sandwiches here for a good price. The star of the sandwich is Naida's roast pork. It's well seasoned and it totally makes this sandwich shine. I usually get it with everything, but I keep forgetting that they'll include onions if you ask for it "all the way." It's good with or without it, but I prefer it without. Just keep that in mind and be specific if you don't want onions on your sandwich. Naida also makes the best café con leche. I sometimes go there just for Cuban toast and that awesome coffee. It gives me energy! They have a small hot bar area of daily offerings with some kind of rice and beans. It may change daily. I haven't ordered a platter, but I will one day. They do have a tasty arroz con salchichas side item. My mom used to make it sometimes with those little canned Vienna sausages. Yeah, it's a comfort thing for me. They also make wonderful breakfast sandwiches and ham croquettes. El Cuba Cafe is hidden inside of a Circle K convenience store on Bell Shoals Road. It's directly across the street from Publix at Bloomingdale Square. I know it has Cuba in the name, but their is a lot of Puerto Rican representation here. That may also be why I'm so fond of it. It's also super convenient, and the service is great. I usually drive in the back way to avoid all the construction nearby. There's no dining area. You just order your meal and take it with you. It's a no frills kind of place. A real hidden gem!
