The restaurant was empty, yet they were pushy for us to eat and leave. After a while, they stopped being pushy and rarely passed by. Our server? We never saw her. I had to ask other servers to find her so we can get our check. It was terrible service and on top of that it's automatic 18% gratuity added. Small salad and side bar. We were seated in the front and the live music was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves talk. Some meats were better than others. For $50 and some change a person there are better restaurants around.

Great music and friendly staff. What we ordered- Croquetas 10/10 - Soft creamy inside and lightly crispy on the outside. Drizzled with a aioli style sauce. (In my opinion)the croquetas were so good they didn't need any sauce. Churassco w/ white rice, black beans and plantains 10/10 ohh this is everything a churassco should be. Juicy, tender and cooked full of so much flavor. The rice was perfect not sticky just perfectly fluffy and not oily and the beans are exactly what I always hope to be served at any Cuban restaurant. Absolutely delicious and full of so much flavor. I mean if they told me Abuela had made them I would totally believe it. Chefs kiss The hubs ordered the Picanha with morro rice and plantains 10/10 No crumbs or grains of rice was left on his plate! Absolutely delicious Needless to say this place is an absolute must! Definitely will be back

I came by their new location in Westland Mall today since I was shopping and I was hungry. However,…read morewith slow service and nickel and diming (18 percent automatic tip) and smallish portions I don't think I'll be back. Having had a quick workday lunch and walked around the mall, I had worked up an appetite. I was seated in a corner table for two and my order was taken. The restaurant did not seem that crowded even for a Friday night but it felt like a long wait. Unlike many Cuban places, they don't offer complimentary bread. I ordered their "platanos a tentacion" (bacon wrapped sweet plantains), grilled chicken and moros. The rice was a little hard and the chicken breast on the small side and barely seasoned other than the onions garnishing it. Service didn't feel very attentive for me as a solo diner. Between finishing my dinner and waiting to order either dessert or cafecito, I also sat and waited until a waitress finally came by. At that point, I just got the coffee and my check. I don't believe I was offered a printed receipt, just the card terminal. I asked if the tip was included and pretty much in time when I was putting the usual tip (trying to be generous with 20 percent) I was told that it was a service charge, and that the tip was extra, but had full amounts starting with 18%. So basically I paid 30% tip for a small portion of food and inattentive service. Looking back, I see that this restaurant had a different name and I had enjoyed dinner at their other location six years back. It's disappointing to see how it has fallen off. As it were, a lot of the original creative items on the menu are no longer being offered.

The tables are comfortable the bar looks awesome too and the menu has some great choices like steak, pasta, calamari, and then adventurous items like a vaca frita pizza. And yes, I went with the vaca frita pizza because I've never seen that concept before, so I had to give it a try. And to my suspicion, the saltiness of the cheese and meat may have been a little too much for me. The flavor is definitely there though! It's delicious but for me I did feel it was a bit too heavy on the salt side. What I really liked about this pizza is the added vegetables to it. I love the creativity and the mix of flavors is almost there to being perfect in my opinion, just the salt stands out a little too much. A quick note about the service here, top notch. Everyone is so nice and they greet you right at the front door as soon as you enter too. Very cool easy to miss spot in Hialeah! I'm planning on coming back to try another menu item.

The atmosphere was nice, and I recommend making a reservation, especially if you want to make sure you can see the belly dance show on Saturdays.

The service was Attentive, genuine, and on point. You can tell the team cares deeply about every table. We felt welcomed and completely taken care of all night. And the food... hands down, every single dish transported us. As second-generation Cuban Americans, we grew up with these flavors -- plates that filled our childhood tables, surrounded by family, stories, and culture. Every bite brought back memories of home-cooked meals, Sunday gatherings, and our grandparents' kitchens. The seasoning, the textures, the presentation -- authentic and elevated without losing soul. This place doesn't just serve Cuban food. It brings our culture to life. Thank you Mikey for sharing your art with our community, you truly created art on this. Mikey is the owner , who is very talented and committed to creating nostalgic bites with good quality ingredients. We love that you love why you do so much.

From the outside it looks small but once you step inside you realize it is pretty big with plenty of seating. The lighting is dim making it perfect to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, date night, or any other special occasion. We made reservations to celebrate my mom's birthday. We arrived earlier than expected and they accommodated us right away. We wanted to start with the lamb empanadas but they didn't have any so we had the chicken instead. Nonetheless these were just as tasty. We weren't done yet and the second server removed our plates for the bread and appetizers. At this point our main server had passed by several times to ask if we were ready to order. We definitely felt rushed. We ordered two sirloin steak for our entree. My mom and I shared a sirloin and my husband had his own. This was a pretty decent size to share. Unfortunately my husband's cut was not very good as it was very fatty. It wasn't communicated very clearly that the steak came with 2 sides. However, if sharing among 3 people the sides are pretty small and will not be enough. So we went ahead and ordered two more sides. Despite the confusion, this is one of the best steaks we have ever had! We all agreed that it was so flavorful, fresh, and good quality meat. If you want a good steak this is the place to come to!

Mauricio was at the bar and we definitely missed being under his attention by not sitting there. Eliezer (the Venezuelan waiter from Mérida) took care of us in the dining room. Both are always very friendly and attentive. This time we decided to sit in the dining room because we were a group of three and had a lot to talk about. The place has 4 TVs and we were able to enjoy the France vs Spain match. We all ordered La Tropical Draft beer, a light, smooth, and very refreshing blonde. In total we had 16 beers . We shared nachos with grilled steak, which were very good (they pour the melted cheese right at the table). We also ordered tripa tacos well toasted (that's the technique) as we requested, and they came out excellent. Note: They have different promotions or offers depending on the day, not a regular happy hour variety, so it's good to be aware of that. The restaurant offers a good variety of 8 salsas: Sirloin, Chips, Guacamole, Verde, Vicente, Pastor, Chilanga, and Asada. Good atmosphere, pleasant service, and tasty food. We'll definitely keep coming back.
