“ Great restaurant, great prices, great service. Authentic cuban cuisine. Only down side is that you’ll come out of the restaurant smelling like food. TIP: bring an extra shirt and perfume in the car so you can change afterwards. ”
“ Best authentic Cuban food single bathroom very clean to me very important bathrooms are cleaning on a restaurant small place again best authentic human food I'll post some of the pictures of the dishes I ate ”
“ I really love the food here. I went for the first time in 2018 and then haven’t been back in Miami for a while. I thought maybe it tasted better in my memory, but it was actually just as good as I remembered. It’s a very authentic Cuban place, you can order in English tho. And the prices are really good too. ”
“ 100% local, 100% cash only, 100% fantastic! Huge portions of some of the most authentic Cuban food around. The place is straight out of 1970 and you got to try it! ”
“ If you know you know. Super authentic food, great service, extremely reasonable prices. This place looks like it’s stuck in time - hasn’t changed in years but it never disappoints! If you haven’t tried their pan con lechón especial, ask them about it - SO good! Note: Cash only! But there’s an ATM at the bakery if needed. ”
