    Perfect place to enjoy homemade style Cuban food in Mt. Dora. Customer service is great and staff is very helpful and friendly. Seating can be tight if dining with a large party and the dining room is busy. Seating is comfortable and there are also tables outside for those interested! Highly recommend this Latina restaurant when visiting this lovely town!

    Food was okay. We went during the Christmas tree lighting event, it was very busy during that time. Service was slow.

    Cuban Sandwich with Fries

    I got a chance to come in after work and sit at the bar. They have all the Cuban seats and decor all over the restaurant. I ordered a tall Modelo Especial. That ice cold mug with Modelo Especial hit the spot. I ordered a Cuban Sandwich and Fries. Like always, the Cuban Sandwich and Fries are great. I didn't leave anything behind. The service was good. This is my favorite Cuban restaurant to come to near home. Until next time!

    Passion fruit mojoito

    This restaurant has great food and is very consistent. There are several great choices for appetizers, drinks and entrees. My daughter likes the chicken mofongo. And I like the shredded pork that comes covered with onions and comes two sides. I had black beans, yellow rice and plantains. The food comes out promptly and hot. The passion fruit mojoito and Pina colada were excellent. Good service, great food, good portions and if you sit by the window it is good view of the visitors. We have been here several times and will come back.

    Wanted Cuban flavor and boy did we get it! From Cuban burger sandwich to garlic shrimp it was really delicious service was good and restaurant ambiance/decor was colorful and vibrant. Bathrooms could use an update though. Other than that it was pretty good.

    Sangria
    Amanda J.

    We were immediately seated when we arrived at the restaurant. Prices and portions are really good. I ordered a sangria and the churasco steak. I enjoyed the drink and food. Server was very helpful and friendly.

    One of our favorites so we come here a lot. My favorite items to order are the mango margarita , cafe con leche, ropa vieja, and flan! Tonight we all order items to share ( minus the wine of course because yea... no! lol ) Cuban sandwich was delicious per usual, tostones were full of flavor and my first time ordering the mofongo. Not my favorite but it was flavorful and a huge portion. My bestie is Cuban and she enjoyed it more than me so that's a big plus . Love this traditional Cuban decor through out the restaurant. It's a nice chill place and service is good.

    Picadillo  Moro Rice Sweet Plantains
    Cisco S.

    I've been to this restaurant on several occasions with my wife, friends and family and the food never disappoints! From the small Cuban breads with sauces to the delicious cocktails, it's always great! The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a small town Cuban restaurant. Service could be a little better since we tried to order additional sides but the waitress only came by once. Despite that we recommend this place if you're looking for some delicious Cuban food!

    We love the food & drink at Las Palmas! So much so that we occasionally drive about 45 minutes to eat here. The restaurant setup inside is a little crowded but comfortable. There are Cuban posters and decorations which sets a nice scene. The service is just okay. We love the Cuban bread starter that is passed when you are seated. My favorite meal is the picadillo!

    Amazing Cuban food. Mount Dora is blessed with a place like this that makes excellent Cuban sandwiches and sandwiches from the Caribbean. The ambience is extremely attractive with all kinds of memorabilia of Cuba before Castro. If you come here, ask for Camilo to serve you. The decor they have in this restaurant is unique with all their chairs having been carved wood by a craftsman. What a wonderful experience both Julie and Camilo gave us. If you are in Mount Dora at any time you must come to Las Palmas Restaurant.

    Stopped here for drinks after having lunch down the hill. Sat at the bar and was served immediately. We ordered two 24oz of Heineken on draft. $10 for one 24oz is definitely worth it. The restaurant also smells amazing! We're going to dine in next time!

    Tosdado Salad.
    Carol S.

    We stopped in for dinner and was pleasantly surprised at our nice the inside is. Our server was lovely. Her name was Shiloh. My tostado salad was filled with meat and black beans. Yum. My husband order a Cuban sandwich. His favorite. Said it was delicious. What can be so bad. Good service. Good food.

    Stopped by Las Palmas for dinner and this place was packed. The server was very friendly and immediately gave us the drink specials which we took advantage of the 2 for 1 mojitos. They serve you complementary Cuban bread, and we also ordered the fresh plantain chips which were delicious and crispy. They come with a garlic sauce that tastes so good you want to drink it. We ordered several different dishes, and with the restaurant being so busy we received our food relatively fast. Everything was flavorful and good portion sizes, many of us had to get Togo containers. The inside of the restaurant is on the smaller side but they do provide plenty of outside seating. Also their pricing was cheaper than average Cuban restaurants and they had a a lot of variety of dishes to choose from. If you are visiting the Mount Dora area, this is definitely a spot you need to check out.

Rating: 5/5 Review Body: We stumbled upon Fifth Avenue Streatery in Mount Dora today while in town for business - got hungry and looked up something local and simple, and boy, are we glad we did! This place is so unique; it looks like it used to be a gas station transformed into a cozy outdoor eatery with all seating under cover, string lights, fans, and heaters for comfort. It's got that authentic, laid-back Florida vibe with wooden decks, umbrellas, and views of the street - super charming and not stuffy at all. The menu is a great mix of unique twists and classic favorites, with plenty of options so everyone can find something. We went with build-your-own burgers and their signature Fifth Avenue burger - absolutely delicious, juicy, and flavorful! It's now my top burger pick (besides the ones my husband grills at home, of course). Everything's made from scratch, and big compliments to the chef/owner - a talented woman running the show, girl power all the way! We were there with our 7-year-old daughter, who's been to all sorts of fancy places, and she absolutely loved it - from the fun outdoor setup to her kid-sized burger. The hostesses, Hailey and Beth, were the sweetest, so friendly and welcoming, making us all feel right at home like family. Don't skip the desserts - we tried the flourless chocolate torte with fresh cream and raspberry sauce, and it was heavenly, rich but not too heavy. Overall, fresh food, great service, and a spot that's perfect for families. We'll be back next time we're in Mount Dora!

The drinks were priced great and the soup and burgers were so good! But I went 01/10/2026 at 230pm (busy rush for a pub on a Saturday) and I ordered a burger and soup because they have a soup of the day each day, who doesn't love that. Well my soup came out quick and I was pleased with that, it was chicken orzo soup, so good! Well I start getting to the soup and thought oh wow they put cheese in here, didn't tell me it would have cheese and I'm rubbing it around in my mouth cause I like to taste my food you know? Well it wasn't cheese...... IT WAS SOMEONES CHEWED MINTY GUM IN MY MOUTH STUCK IN MY TEETH I got sick (in a napkin of course) and informed my server, ran to the bathroom some more getting sick and when I came back my server informed me I wouldn't pay for anything, I made a comment that maybe the dishwasher didn't do a good job but the server told me he wish that was the case that it was intended for an employee on break and he thought it was mine in the window and it wasn't, he apologized, well I took a couple shots of whiskey to kill the bacteria hopefully. I asked for a manger to come talk to me because I work in the food industry and I don't feel it was handled correctly, he informed me the manger was not there he had to text her to get the approval for the bill. So I was definitely taken back. I have never had anything like this happen to me and the two girls I was with also tasted the soup because I said it didn't taste right and they was literally given a bill for their 15$ burgers and I got a 10% card to hopefully come back. I have called twice to talk to a manger and have not gotten through to anyone, I've seen messages online to suspected owners and still nothing back, I was told the guy with the gauges in the kitchen is the one that did it, I woken up with a sore throat today and will be going to get tested and they will be informed of my medical bills by a lawyer. PS my friend ordered a burger Togo a few hours later for her aunt I went in to get the burger and pay with my 10% card and the short haired short server with glasses was seen laughing at the computer about the situation, I just don't think it was funny at all.

    WARNING: Be cautious when ordering the raw oysters, here. The server had a "I don't give a F…read moreattitude" when I had my first bite of half-dozen raw oysters. The one oyster I started to bite into was the WORST tasting I've had in a long time. It was gritty and tasted like it had died, before it was caught. I asked the server to let the manager or cook know this, as I was concerned for other customers' safety. She gave this look like it was me who was the problem. No manager bothered to come to our table, to ask me about it, either. She also scoffed at my reaction when she said that the Alaskan King Crabs market price went up to $92 / lb - which I thought was way overpriced for a place like Red Crab. So, I got the snow crab legs, which were excellent, as well as the boiled potatoes. The generous amount of butter had an off-putting flavor, but still went well with the crab legs. The corn on the cob sucked, as it was soggy, from clearly being kept in a warming oven or pot for too long. The cheesecake was small, but really good, although I did have to ask about desserts when the server was ready to give us the check. She was also slow in bringing out the dessert and updating our check, but nicer towards the end of the dinner. This is about the 5th time I've been to Red Crab - and just this location. They need to work on food quality consistency, better training on the servers, and take seriously when a customer nicely complains about raw oysters, that don't taste fresh and clean.
