There was so much rice and not enough chicken bites. The flavoring was really good and would consider this as good comfort food. read more

We came here many years ago and it kept a place in our mind due to the great flavor. Years later it is as great as we remember. We had the appetizer with the combination. A bit pricey but well worth it. We loved everything we tried. They brought us a hot sauce that was on point. Now the seafood mofongo we had with a garlic tomato sauce and its chefs kiss. The sauce combined with the crispiness of the mofongo and the seafood. We loved it!!!! Only thing is they do add a service charge of 20% and it was just my husband, me and kid. Not an issue since I plan to tip that. But just a heads up The service was great so it's not an issue. Will definitely return before this trip ends read more

Lovely food, many choices. My meal was wonderful- Ropa Viejo with sweet Plantains, Cuban rice and beans has so much great flavor. The meat is shredded and tender, plantains are such a perfect complement along with rice/black beans. We got here early, tired from playtime at the Kennedy space center and hungry. this was a perfect choice My husband had oxtails and love them- cooked slowly and tender. Beautiful art on the walls, and my favorite music too. Thanks for our relaxing dinner! read more

I am always up to trying a Cuban Restaurant. Cuban Cuisine is my favorite. There is plenty of parking. This location is on a shopping plaza. It is smaller than I thought from the pictures. Customer service was a 5! I was seated right away and waiter was very polite. The restaurant has a cozy bar area with a TV. I struggled to give details about my food experience because it's always hard for me when it's not a good one. I started with a red sangria and water. Drinks came out right away. Unfortunately not what I was hoping for. The sangria was watered down with no fruits at all. For an entrée, I ordered the Churrasco. The rice and beans are considered two sides so I had to pay additional for the sweet plantains. The churrasco was far from tender or a flank steak as described in the menu. It was served over onions and peppers, more like a fajita style steak. The rice was undercooked and hard. For dessert I ordered a flan. This was the only good item I ordered. The most surprising/frustrating thing was when I got my bill. Surprises, surprises, surprises. The menu listed the Churrasco at $32, the bill listed it at $33.28? Maduros (sweet plantains) at $6, charged $6.24. I ordered extra flans to go, each at $6(x4). Charged $24.96. Then they automatically add 20% gratuity. Maybe this is something new? It was just me. Sales tax was charged additionally. read more

The food was great. Never tried mufungo before, but now I am a fan. We got the sampler appetizer and everything was so tasty. The staff was very friendly. The music and ambiance set the Cuban mood. Very happy with the meal. Try it. read more

I have to tell you I have been here a number of times and when I went yesterday, I was excited and then extremely disappointed that I returned my food and asked for a refund. I don't know what happened, but there is no taste in the food and it was just terrible. When you eat food from a Spanish nation, you expect Sabor and this had nothing but grease. read more

The combinacion appetizer really was a sampling of their major dishes and way more than enough to feed 3. We love empanadas and ordered two extra so we could each have one. They did not disappoint and were filled to the brim with well seasoned meat and a nice crispy crust. The Vaca Frita was by far the best of our three meals and was excellently seasoned with the perfect blend of lemon and pepper and crisp! Loved every bite. The masas de cerdo was also well cooked; but, I would have liked a bit more crisp to it but it was tender inside and very palatable. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we could only take a bite of the arroz con pollo (looking forward to it for lunch tomorrow) and it had the most tender chunks of chicken and superb rice. I am an olive in the rice person and missed nice big olives. This arroz con pollo was not a fish filled one (fish allergy) and that was a plus. The batida was one of the best I have tasted in the area and was thick (made with milk) and had a guanabana powerful flavor. The homemade sangria was decent but lacked a punch and could have used more real fruit (this fruit seemed like the Dole canned fruit). The service was top notch!! Felt well attended to and the food came hot yet quick. The interior was filled with some really nice paintings and Cuba pics. The chairs are not the most comfy but then again it's not the living room. Very clean and well maintained. read more

Taking advantage of a timeshare spiel, the Cuban salesman recommended his fav Cuban meal: Vaca Frita So I yelped and found this place within a bike ride of the resort. SOOO happy I did!! Closed on Sundays, was glad it was opened on Monday and I pedaled to it after the resort tour and when it opened at 2p Only two couples inside, I found a seat near the window so I could keep an eye out on my bike. The server spoke more English than I do Spanish, but we got help from the gentleman behind the counter (I overhead from convo with another patron/ he's not the owner. But he seemed to really care about the place). He continuously made sure I knew my bike was safe and they had cameras all around It's in a strip mall, and midday, but I'm mindful of complacency and letting guard down while on vacation that can lead to unhappiness...so I kept my eye on it Torn between the oxtail and the Vaca frita, I decided to try what I came for. The VF. Added a Cuban soda. And was NOT disappointed According to the host: they boil a cut of beef, till you can shred it. Then they season it well and fry it up crispy...think beef jerky that is shredable. VERY chewy, but DELICIOUSLY SEASONED! OMG it was seasoned!! I forced myself NOT to eat it all in one setting, JUST so I could have more the next day (I even asked for more onions: next time I'd ask for extra onions from the onset, so they get hard friend and seasoned from the beef) It comes w two sides, and since the Cuban rice is "rice/bean combined" I got it, and the plantain(cooked perfectly!). I actually ordered a serving of Cuban rice to-go, ro ensure I had a duplicate meal the next day The Cuban "beans and rice" was darker than the usual Jamaican bnr: he said cause they partially cook the black beans first and then ADD Rice so it really soaks in the dark juice! (Don't get me wrong, I love my Jamaican bnr. But this was great too!) Not much of a soda drinker, the Metava? (hmm tea/7up concept) Cuban soda was pleasant (hindsight: I should've gotten one of them to go as well) HMMMM. Minorly perturbed that they automatically charge 20% gratuity PLUS 3.5% for using a credit card. So plan to add over 25%+ mark up on your food after you also include taxes My total was $40 and I paid cash!! But again..turned it into two meals (I'd ordered a side to-go). I didn't get a receipt so can't vouch for the correctness of the bill I paid cash, so saved a little. And likely would have left a 25% tip since the food was so good, the guy very helpful in suggesting options, showing and explaining the variety of sodas, and making me comfortable about my bike Def a recommended place Note: lots of paintings on the wall for sale. I'm assuming it's local. But, biking..it was hard enough carrying my leftovers in my small back pack read more

Great food!!! Wonderful Cuban flavors and very friendly service that is top notch and attentive.

Literally, the best meal we've ever had. The ox tail is beyond comparison and the garlic chicken is amazing.

You can never really go wrong with Cuban food in Central Florida and this place was no expectation. I was in town for a work conference so I decided to try it out. For my appetizer I had the beef empanada. It was very hearty and flavorful. For my main dish I had the Vaca Frita with rice and peas and plantains. For dessert we had the Tres Leches cake and it was very good. This is probably one of my favorite deserts. The meal was very good and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Cuban food. read more

Visiting from out of town and found this Cuban restaurant since we don't normally have it. In a pretty non-descript shopping area. Not a huge place with a lot of seating but we got in pretty easy. We had the app combo and everything came out fresh and delicious. Never having mofongo, this definitely seemed like a place that would make it authentic so I went with that and their special was a skirt steak and shrimp. Everything was delicious and the garlic sauce with the mofongo was excellent. Would definitely come back here to try their other dishes read more

I am from San Diego so I was expecting more from a Cuban restaurant in Florida. Maybe I gotta go to Miami. The congris was dry and the Sangria was missing the typical fruit I am use to. It only had pieces of pineapple. read more

Great Cuban restaurant! Best I have had outside Miami. Very flavorful. Service was wonderful. The waiter brought me a sample of sangria when I was not sure if I would like it and it was delicious. Great laid back ambience. We will be back ;) read more

The food is way overpriced for 1. What the amount they serve and 2. For the flavors. We have been to many Cuban places in Central Florida (yes I know they are not all the same) however Ropa Vieja has always had a tomato base stew and this was very bland and colorless but not sure how traditional it was and to be charged $18 for rice and the meat just doesn't seem reasonable. Also the breaded bistec, $20?? And the special of the night was a flank steak with veggies and 3 shrimp for $35ish. These 3 dishes was $81.96, no drinks just water. I understand that cost of food has gone up but I believe the area it's in they are taking advantage of tourists to over charge for a plate that can easily be more reasonable in price. read more

Based on high ratings on Yelp tried them. Walked in at 5:30 today no one else there. Waitress was very nice. Ordered avocado salad but she said out of avocado! Dear, restaurant manager, owner You live in Florida home of some avocado and pretty sure grocery store has some too. How much effort does it take to get avocado ? Also ordered empanadas they were fresh, recommend it. Didn't like the Cesar salad though too much dressing and lettuce was tough ends of head. read more

Definitely do not recommend. Service was poor and food was mediocre at best. There was only one other table occupied when I visited the restaurant but service was slow and the attitude of the server was awful. I almost walked out before I ordered my food because it took so long for the server to come take my order. I asked for water when I placed my order and waited a while and finally decided to get up and go ask the bar for water. The server saw this as he was talking to his other customer and yelled at me across the restaurant "I already took your order". I'd recommend learning some customer service skills and not yelling at your patrons. read more

We were a party of five, most of us from out of town. Waits to be seated, served and to check out were long but understandable. Food was good. What I didn't appreciate was that, when the bill came, it included the tip. But ok I noticed it. The waiter didn't say anything and after giving my cc he brought back the cc receipt without the detail. Of course, the cc receipt had a line for tip. If I hadn't noticed I would have added another tip. It just felt unethical and slimy. I would return for the food but pay extra attention to the bill! read more

Wow!!! The food was amazing! Wish we had something in Texas like this! And the service was wonderful; our waitress was the nicest ever.

Fantastic! My wife is Cuban and we always try to look for Cuban places when we travel. So we knew we needed to check this one out. We tried several dishes, croquettes, vaca frita, ropa vieja, and the churrasco. All were delicious! But the churrasco was INCREDIBLE! SO tender, juicy and seasoned perfectly!!! The food came out quick and we were served by a very friendly gentleman. I also like the art on the walls, the space is nice and comfortable and they didn't even get upset when our kid got rice all over the place! Fantastic, we will definitely be back! read more

Everyone enjoyed there meals . I got a Cuban sandwich and it was really big . Definitely would go back

Ordered a Cubano. It was exactly what I hoped for. Authentic, flavorful, fresh. Great local spot for authentic Cuban food.

Seated and ordering went fairly quickly. There were four of us and we ordered as follows: Cubano Sandwich with a side of fried plantain. This was the sandwich I got as I had always seen it on television and wanted to try it. It was good. The fried plantains were ok. Half were from ab old batch and half seemed fresher. They were sweet though, which helpedm Piccadillo with white rice and sweet plantains. My daughter said she enjoyed it. I tasted it and it was good. I iked the texture of the meat. It wasn't heavy at all. The black beans are delicious. Beef Empanadas my son said they were just okay but attributed it to his expectation and not so much the quality of the food. Pollo Havana with white rice. My son LOVED IT. I tasted it as well and it was really good. Julian recommended it and he was spot on! Customer service was spot on. It's a local restaurant in a small strip mall. We were visiting from California and decided to give it a try. read more
