- RPRolando PenaJan 2, 20265.0We ate here while visiting Ft Lauderdale and so glad that we did. The food is incredible! Quality ingredients and nice portions. The live music and excellent service were the icing on the cake. Our server was Leslie and she is so sweet and pleasant, and very attentive. The empanadas appetizer was yummy, as were the Cubano sandwich and the blackened mahi mahi. Despite being absolutely stuffed, we ordered and shared the limon dessert and it was delish. This place is a must when in or near Ft Lauderdale.
- AAAndreyJan 2, 20264.0Local place off the touristy path. Must go for some good cuban food if youre in the area. Very affordable and delicious plates. Very good and fast service. Just my personal taste, but tiried the combo plate amd there were a lot of fried things on the plate which are not my favorite. Enjoyed my ropa vieja and my wife liked her steak. Recommend
- CCC CQDec 29, 20255.0The drink was a blast, especially the coco pina and guava cocktail. Yucca tastes good with pickled garlic, and chicken was tender. Brisket was a bit over cooked but still not bad.

- BMBenn McGuireDec 27, 20255.0Very pleasant dining experience, food was fantastic and as described on the menu. Service was kind, smiling, and prompt. Gave us Togo containers, and the waitress was so thoughtful about which. Couldn’t believe how reasonably it was considering the quality of the food. The black bean salsa is now my favorite dish in Ft Lauderdale
