It was maybe 10/15 mins off the highway, so if you're traveling down as well and have some time to stop over I would recommend it. My wife and I got a plate of chicken breast with rice, black beans, plantains, and empanadas. The lady who owns the restaurant was so nice and walked us through the menu and told us a bit about how long they've been in the area. She shared that many of the restaurants nearby have been closing down, so they appreciated us coming in to support their business. Overall, we thought the food was good and everything was cooked to perfection but unfortunately we couldn't finish it because it was entirely too salty. I know seasoning preferences can vary based on the person, so I would still recommend you stop in and try them for yourself, but for me, it was just too much salt to finish the meal.

Excellent food and phenomenal service. We had the Palomilla…read morebowl, beef on rice with maduros and black beans. The bowl is very satisfying. We ordered the Pollo Asado and you get to choose two sides. We ordered it with yuca frita and maduros. Our friends like their food too: empanadas, Cuban sandwich, chicken soup and their natural juices. We asked our server Diannys about breakfast and she brought us coffee to try it after our meal.

Went through the drive thru and ordered a cheese and guava pastry and a shredded beef (Ropa Vieja)…read moreempanada. I received a guava pastry and a cheese/guava pastry. Returned and advised them of the mistake. They apologized and handed me an empanada. Got home to find the empanada was a vegetarian empanada!! This seems to be the normal at this Mi Apa that I do not find at any other location Either their chicken is cooked from a frozen state which makes it rubbery or some other issue. Either way there is always an issue at this place. Sad to say. The management alway apologizes but nothing seems to get corrected. Anyhow, glad we have other options.

We went in for dinner it was surprisingly warm friendly with good homestyle cooking. The fish in the seafood soup were delicious, service was great and we can't complain. We asked the server why the restaurant doors were locked on the other occasions and they said they were taking a break. We would like to return if they're open again.

Quite possibly the best Cuban food I've ever had. The owner and the waitress rolled out the…read morehospitality, comfort and amazing food. DO NOT MISS this place! Get off the freeway, and come sit down, strike up a conversation and get served the best Cuban food! You'll thank me later, trust me.

There used to be a previous business here that was a different owner but didn't make it. It's nicely renovated and definitely family owned and operated. It needs a little polish but a good option for a steak sandwich, pork with rice and beans that's very good. I've tried the pork which I think it's called Masitas and it's excellent. They make a great tres leches cake too. Hopefully with a little work and local word it will make it. I'm a big supporter of small local business and hope to see them do well.

He understood what I meant and made me a delicious coffee. I had a ham n cheese empanada (baked). It tasted really good for breakfast because it wasn't greasy. I should have gotten a second one. I got a Media Noche, the sandwich had really good flavor and the bread was really sweet. The meat inside the sandwich was thick cut, which I am not used to having in a Cuban sandwich but it was very delicious. I liked the little crispy fries to eat with the sandwich. Finally, I got a guava/cheese pastelito which was good as well".

So happy to finally have a family owned Cuban Cafe in our small town of Lake City. I always order a…read more strong Cafe con Leche with a Guava Pastry. We also enjoyed their breakfast option on Media Noche bread. Its a sweeter bread than the traditional cuban bread they use for sandwiches. Also if they have them in the case you must order the fried Yucca that is stuffed with meat and cheese. Just an FYI the sandwiches might take a little while, especially if they have other customers inside. So be sure to come here for breakfast if you have the time wait. If not you can always get pastries to go. There is also an assortment of desserts, from flan cheesecake to a cookie butter cake to try.

This was my first time at Flaco's and I enjoyed it! It's a very small place with some seating and a…read morecute atmosphere. The prices are not bad for the amount of food you get and they have a lot of options. I got the sunshine burrito, which includes a variety of mixed vegetables in place of a meat. The burrito was huge and loaded with fillings, though the fillings were a bit unevenly distributed so some bites were dry and others were loaded with sauce. It was tasty though, I just wish it was a bit better mixed. The service was alright, the guy working was super nice but the food took a long time to come out. However it was definitely super fresh and hot when it came out, so can't complain too much!

I followed the easy-to-understand board. First pick which rice you want, which type of bean, and then which type of protein, sides, etc. If you can't get it, just go to the line, and a friendly server will explain it and help. I got the big container to-go, and I am glad I did; it's two good meals!! The curry chicken was cooked to PER FEC TION!!!!!!!!! So tender and juicy, and the curry flavor was on point, and the rice was from a dream! I mean this food is amazing!! You know so much love was put into it!! I am def coming back to get a different combo!! Also, the sweet tea is delicious and won't give you cavities before you hit the door!

She was unwelcoming and acted like we were inconveniencing her just by being there. The food was mediocre at best. The rice was bland and the pork was dry and hard. Nothing else we ate stood out but I would have considered giving this place another chance to try other items on the menu but after the way we were treated i have no interest in returning. ESPAÑOL Terrible, terrible servicio. La muchacha del frente tenía una actitud muy mala que arruinó por completo la experiencia. Ella no fue placentera y actuó como si la estuviéramos molestando solo por estar allí. La comida es mediocre en el mejor de los casos. El arroz sin sabor y el cerdo estaba seco y duro. Nada más que comimos destacó o nos hizo querer volver. Haría considerado darle a este lugar otra oportunidad para probar otros artículos del menú, pero después de la forma en que nos trataron, no tengo ningún interés en volver.

This is honestly very uncomfortable for me to say because I usually have a great experience with…read morethe food and service at Mi Apa. However, I came in on a Tuesday evening, and unfortunately, my experience with our server, Esteban, was very uncomfortable. When we first sat down, he did not come over to ask what we would like to drink. Instead, he stood there and stared at me very awkwardly for about a minute, which made me feel very uncomfortable. After he eventually brought our drinks and food, he did not come back to check on us for almost two hours. Then, right as he saw that we were getting ready to leave, he came over to take our payments. He did not say anything or clarify whether we were splitting the check. He went directly to my friend and had her pay, and we later realized that she had paid for both of us. At that point, it was already very late, so we did not complain or say anything. However, I truly felt uncomfortable throughout the entire experience. It was not just the lack of checking on us, but also the fact that he barely spoke to us, never communicated with us, and never made any effort to make us feel welcomed or comfortable during our visit. I want to emphasize that I have never been treated this way at Mi Apa before, which is why it is unfortunate that I feel the need to bring this to your attention. I have always had a positive experience here, so I hope this feedback can be helpful in some way. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for hearing me out. I hope this helps in any way.
