Came across this place while in the area…read more They have a $10 dinner menu and that's unheard of these days. Simple and good quality food. We ordered 2 steak dinners with rice black means and plantains 1 grilled chicken with rice black beans and yuca Yuca was dry unfortunately but with a little salt, oil and lemon will bring them back to life Place was nice and clean. Had football playing and a decent crowd there drinking and watching the game. Server was nice Chefs were nice as well. Had a good time and will be back again

We had a great lunch here. Parking was right outside. They are still doing some construction of the…read moreshoppers haven area but you can avoid that coming south on federal. We were greeted and seated right away. The menu is extensive -- plus you can look at some of the dishes displayed in the cafeteria area. They do a lot of takeout and have numerous lunch specials. Shout out to Yelp elite Lisa H who came here. And caused me to bookmark the location. The restaurant is Latin. It's a mix of country cuisines. Mexican, Cuban, Colombian, Honduran, Salvadoran, et al. My husband wasn't that hungry and decided to just have a small chicken soup. The small soup turned out to be a huge meal! The soup was excellent -- a flavorful broth and packed with all sorts of veggies and chicken with a side of white rice and plantains. He was very happy. I'd been craving a cocktail de camarones after seeing a recent Instagram post. So I searched Yelp and this restaurant showed it on their menu. I was disappointed when we came in to no longer see it on their menu. However, after asking the server about it, the kitchen was happy to make it for me. It was a very big serving -- delicious and refreshing. There were two huge shrimp on the edge of the glass plus a large lettuce leaf. Inside there were chopped shrimp pieces along with chopped tomatoes and onions, all in a red (ketchup) based sauce. It's kind of a mix between gazpacho and ceviche. They served a fresh made tostada along side. And I used some of the taco chips as well. The different daily lunch specials sound wonderful as do their taco specials. Pricing is quite reasonable and portions are large. We'd definitely come back here!

Def need to try. Entrees: Ropa vieja (pulled beef) rice and beans and maduros (sweet plantains) / Vaca Frita (pan fried pulled beef) Yes you need to try it, this came with Rice and beans. You come to a cuban restaurant this is what you eat, staple dishes, there other things on the menu but if you want an authentic cuban meal this is the way to go. I noticed other people before we got there ordered other plates and their food took a bit longer. Just a tip go with the staple dishes ;) Why the four stars then? Well the ambiance!! Atmosphere was a bit boring and servers were a bit shy. If you been to Miami you know these restaurants are loud and fun. Maybe get maybe some live music or train better the servers, Just my opinion but the service and food was great! Thanks def coming again.

It was quite good. The special included today's soup -- a bowl of cilantro soup. It reminded me of dal or pea soup. It was tasty. A chicken breast with mushrooms in a mustard sauce along side fluffy white rice, sweet plantains, and an interesting potato salad (with veggies and chicken). My husband got their avocado salad. It was a huge plate with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slivers, and wedges of fresh avocado. On the side was a passion fruit dressing and another one with cilantro. Service was good. Our food came out fast from the kitchen. And yes, we would rerun .

My mom ordered the mondongo which was an extremely generous portion (she took half home!), my dad ordered punta de anca and it was perfect, and I had to have their calentado (beans, rice, chicharrón, steak, eggs, arepa with cheese - full plate!).

I have not tried a single I honestly don't think I've ever had an item there that disappointed me yet, and I think I've tried at least half the menu over the last few years. Also, the young lady who works there most often is an extremely respectable hard worker with such a positive attitude at all times, even when you can clearly tell she's incredibly busy -- which is honestly hard to find nowadays. My name is Anthony, and I'm the one you helped when I had to come back about two weeks after Cinco de Mayo because I placed an order but had to leave before my tacos were ready due to how slammed you all were that day. You were busy, but unlike everywhere else, you still weren't out of food.
