Plgrilled chicken instead got roasted dried chicken. Mofongo and trifongo were decently ok. Atmosphere needs to be spruced, perhaps some decor and set up to feel welcoming. Overall not a to go place for me , but in passing I will maybe consider.

My wife and I received a gift certificate for this place from our friend and realtor after we…read moreclosed on our house in Ocala, having moved here from Central Texas. Located in a strip mall anchored by a Roses Discount Store, the place looked dark from the outside and the "Open" sign didn't appear to be lit but we knew they were open because of various Open yard signs in front of the establishment. Upon walking in, we were seated right away and presented the menu. They have daily specials but they didn't have pernil, although they had lechon asado like most of the Cuban/Latin American restaurants we've tried in the area. I ordered the lechon asado which came with yellow rice, fried plantains and red beans. My wife tried their Midnite Cuban sandwich. The lechon asado was flavorful (but of course no crunchy skin) and the yellow rice was good as well. My wife's sandwich, however, was a disappointment! The roast pork had an off taste and was gristly...she had to remove that meat from her sandwich. I tried her roast pork and was thinking of sending it back but my wife just removed all the meat from her sandwich. Perhaps we'll be back but definitely not ordering the Cuban sandwich again. Lunch for 2 came out to just over $30 with tip.

It was the perfect mom-and-pop experience, as it's literally a gentleman and his parents that run it. Mom's in the kitchen, and everything she cooks is fire!! I ordered the Plato Guanaca and the variety and amount of food was amazing! It perfectly hit the spot as comfort food. The fresh slaw on the pupusa was sooo tasty! had the baleado with egg and it was the size of the whole plate. He loved it, the flavours were incredible! Can't wait to come back and try other things off the menu, 10/10 definitely recommend! 2602 SW 19th Ave. Rd, suite 103.

Latin Flavors... yeah, this place is a problem…read more I ordered once... then ran it back the next night. That doesn't happen unless it's real. The carne guisada? Deep, rich, no shortcuts -- tastes like somebody actually cares back there. Empanada was on point -- crust had that snap, filling didn't play games. And the carne frita... crispy outside, melts like butter inside. Dangerous. Rice and pigeon peas did exactly what they're supposed to do -- hold the whole plate down without stealing the show. No hype, no gimmicks. Just straight-up legit food. If you know, you know... and now you know.
