    Have driven by here many times, especially noticing their outdoor window service. Stopped in today as part of my fantastic Historic West Palm Beach Neighborhood Food Tour where we visited the best places along S. Dixie Hwy. This place is a family affair and you can feel it in the staff and the photos of the family. It's been a celebrated Cuban restaurant for over 30 years. Everything we tried... beef, pork, beans, rice and plantains were all so good with great depth of flavor. The restaurant is large and comfortable. The outdoor window seemed to be continually busy. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    I had to have Cuban before I left home to LA. My dish was the steak which came out a bit on the bleu side but was very tender and flavorful nonetheless. Service seemed authentic and our server was very attentive. Ambiance was in line with a Florida type atmosphere.

    I came here with some friends to celebrate my birthday. The vibes were good and the staff were friendly. I really enjoy the Cuban bread but they don't make it there. It's outsourced. Overall I felt that the food could've used a little more salt. I like Don Ramon a lot and I think I'd pick it over here. The prices are the same as Havana but the portion size is better at Don Ramon. You can get beans, rice, and plantains with your food at Don Ramon. Here you only get two sides. And the Vaca Frita here was not crispy. The additional fee per person to cut a cake is criminal. It's not like they offer you to buy an entire cake they sell. I think it's just a money grab which I don't like. Maybe it's best to come here on a date or family dinner but not for a birthday. The parking was easy as they have their own lot but it's small. The 24hr food window is a nice touch. I wonder what that service would be like.

    Walk up counter. Always busy.

    This place has been highly rated for decades and despite some cosmetic changes to the building and adding outside tables remains pretty much as I remember it over 10 years ago this must speak for itself. Somewhat limited inside dining times which provides a nothing special experience. To me it is the serves all the time walk up kiosk that is the flavor of this place. A late night snack or coffee while people watching just is it. Rarely ordered a sandwich but regular potato things, crickets, fried thick bacon bits, empanada Oh and to mention again the coffee con leche.

    Took an early flight back to NY, and was glad I found this 24/7 spot on my way to PBI. First I was skeptical, but I took a chance. I ordered a medium cafe con leche, one guava with cheese, and one guava pastry for later in the day, and a sandwich Cubano for at the gate. The Cubano was good, and I enjoyed it while waiting to board. Definitely a spot to return to next time when I have an early flight again.

    Good spot for some Latin food, nice local staple restaurant that's well known. The 24hr walk up window is great - try some of their pastries/pastelitos In for party of 8 for late lunch- seated promptly and waiter was there to take drink orders and explain specials. Good service, they have upstairs level that can seat larger parties as well as lower area. Open parking that can be difficult to find spots but there is an additional separate parking area. Had a couple orders of the fried whole fish- came with two sides. Pretty good, tees leches and Flan desserts and cafe con leche were very good

    FOOD/DRINK: 5/5 SERVICE: 4/5 EXPERIENCE: 4/5 Note: I've only used the walk up ventana window, never been inside the restaurant. This is a GO TO for when we are in WPB, especially when we are let off a late flight since they're open 24/7! We have been to Havana multiple times and it never disappoints. Hubby is Cuban and craves Havana every time we go visit family. I had a side of yellow rice one time because I wasn't feeling well and it was the best rice I've ever had. They also are known to have a really Cuban sandwich, but the true hero is the guava pastelito. They've mastered the perfect ratio of guava and it's warm and gooey. They also have the coveted IRON BEER for sale. Latest trip I got the pan con lechon sandwich, while hubby got the media noche sandwich. We took it back to our hotel to eat so it got a little soggy but still very yummy and a good size. Slight cons: -The cafecito was a little disappointing but it depends on who is working -The area is a little sketchy but worth the trip -The food is significantly more expensive on Uber Eats but it allows you to order ahead. Otherwise you are stuck waiting IRL for your food. Uber Eats doesn't ever pick up the food so you're probably gonna have to trek to get it yourself.

    I loved this spot! Super cute inside - they have an upstairs and downstairs area. We sat upstairs and had a very kind waiter who was attentive to our large group. Tried the mango drink which was refreshing and the fish was delicious! Great presentation. Also like the tres leches. Great time.

    Amazing food, super friendly staff. Susanna and Margarita were the best. We ate enough for a week! But that still didn't stop us from getting more food to go at the outside window. Gracias. See you soon.

Staff was welcoming and I cozied right up at the bar to wait for my friend. I was immediately brought chips and salsa and a cold beer. We ended up sitting at a high top and our waitress suggested that I try either carne asada from the Mexican menu or Vaca Frita from the Cuban menu. I love me some carne asada but I was intrigued but this 'fried shredded beef' that was marinated in mole and cooked in a hot skillet until crispy. She suggested sweet plantains to go with it and white rice with beans which is traditional Cuban (instead of yellow rice). IT WAS FABULOUS! It was crispy on the outside and juicy. The mole was flavorful but not spicy and i appreciated that the meat was not dripping in sauce. My dinner date ordered chicken tamales which were seasoned in a Cuban style with yellow rice. She is used to Mexican tamales but said these really hit the spot! The only blemish on the nice was her second margarita which was the cucumber one which she didn't like at all. However, the first one she ordered (pictured) which was a different flavor was a show stopper.

However, the moment you walk in the door you know that the correct decision was made and you MUST get a table. The aroma of steak and pork grabs your olfactory senses and whets your appetite.

We only had to cool our heels maybe 10 minutes before we were seated and we both got the Mofongo, which is a plantain-pork amalgamation of flavor and fun.

The flavors were rich, comforting, and straight-up authentic. You can taste the love in that food. And let's talk portions... they are NOT playing with you. I had enough leftovers to run it back for dinner later, and it still tasted just as good! The service? Super attentive and welcoming--exactly what you want when you're trying to sit, relax, and enjoy a good meal. And the decor is such a vibe--cute, cozy, and full of personality. Even the restroom had a unique touch... a big pot turned into a sink! Like... come on, that's creative Will I be back? Oh absolutely. Probably next month though, because it's about an hour drive for me--but listen... it's worth it. If you're ever in the area and craving real, authentic Dominican food... don't even think twice. Just go.

They'll bring your tacos out to you. I got the pescadito taco. The fish has a nice and crisp batter, it stayed light and wasn't too oily. The fish was super flakey and moist. Everything on this taco worked so well together. The pickled red onion helps cut through the richness of the guac and fattiness of the batter on the fish. The pineapple is a burst of freshness and sweetness that live a up the whole thing while also balancing sharpness from the onion. If you can here hungry, you're probably putting away 4 tacos. If you are a normal functioning human and don't eat like it's your last meal, 2-3 will probably be good. So you're looking at $14-$28 on food. For me, on an empty stomach, this would be pushing $30 for tacos which IMO is a bit steep (and let's be honest, if I'm that hungry I might make a bad decision and get more than 4). That said, it was really good. I wish they had some combo options though 3 for $16, 4 for $20 etc.
