Best restaurant in Arizona, hands down. This place is nothing like Arizona and that’s the best part. If I could give them a thousand stars, I would. Thank you for bringing something actually amazing to the desert. We really needed this.

Great food, great service, and great prices! If you want a fun moody place to go to this is it. Everyone was super kind. The food was phenomenal and must try the nachos! Drinks were great too!

Fantastic staff, food, drinks! Recommend asking for Lexie as a server or David or Carlos as bartenders! The Hola Barbie shot is fantastic and refreshing (plus it come with cotton candy!)

OK, this is a great bar/lounge - unmistakenly good! Cuban vibes in décor and atmosphere, check... background, service and great drinks, check... excellent before and after locale for drinks and munchies with the terrific atmosphere only a Cuban ambience can offer, check. Very well put together, comfortable and relaxed with lots of space to spread out in some incredible contemporary and nostalgic booths of the Haban-Heydays. The bar is ample, and it's beautifully laid out with outstanding finishes, art and décor and nostalgic art deco work. Don't expect perfect Cuban, but it comes close and worth the endeavor... flavorful, fun with great service with a relaxing ambience as an eatery.

The cocktails were amazing but the soup came out ice cold. Who can trust a kitchen that serves cold food? Also, check the math on the tip calculator. It's way over the accurate percentages. Not a good look.

Good was amazing. The 2 vegetarian options caught my eye and i immediately walked in. The atmosphere is very nice and chic. Service was AMAZING. 10/10

We dined in for my sisters birthday, we were a party of 10. We each individually ordered empanadas but instead of the empanadas being plated individually and served to each person that ordered them, they brought everyone's empanadas out on one plate and provided one dipping sauce for all of us. I also ordered the ropa vieja because it looked sooo good on their IG page, I have never been catfished by food so bad, I have included the IG picture and the picture of the food I received. The guayaba empanadas were delicious but they were served extremely hot, several of us burned our mouths when biting into them, so please be careful. The picadillo empanadas were very dry and hard to swallow. The bartender was extremely inconsistent. We ordered key lime shots 3 times. The first time they came out with a dry lime slice, a cinnamon stick and fire. The second time they came with a coconut rim, the third time they came with no garnish and no coconut flakes just a plain shot glass. When we asked the server if she could please bring us empty shot glasses with just the rim so we could pour the drink into them she brought us a regular cup with a teaspoon of coconut flakes and stated that was the best she could do. We also ordered piña coladas, some of them came completely full and others came with a gap in the cup. When the check came it was over $500 and they refused to split the bill. We spent over 30 min trying to split the bill ourselves. Once we were done figuring it all out the servers let us know that they also couldn't charge cards by individual items that the only thing they could do was charge certain amounts on different cards. A heads up would've been nice especially with such a large party. We also each paid $20 for parking. Overall it was not worth it, extremely inconsistent and everyone in my party agreed that we would not be back.

Overall this place was good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the lemonade and plantain chips weren't amazing. The vibe inside was really nice and our waiter was friendly. This place is worth checking out if you are in the area.

Wonderful Miami vibe with wonderful drinks, great service, and 5 food. Full bar but specialty is Rum so we stuck with their house cocktails & we're not disappointed. We will be back!

We tried so much of the menu. It was all delicious. The service was really nice. They have an allergies / vegan menu which was so nice for our vegan friend. The drinks were really good as well. Definitely suggest checking this place out.
Amazing service and great food. It takes me back to when I was younger and visited a Cuban restaurant. Haven't found a place that was close to it until now! Thank You! Ambiance is relaxing with light music. Perfect for what I needed. Sorry no pictures this time. I was starving and didn't think about it until it was all gone!

Took my wife here on Valentines day and our entrees came out 50 minutes apart....... I ordered a Cuban sandwich (amazing) and we waited for my wife's Arroz Con Pollo to arrive. It took 50 minutes to arrive and the waitress kept stopping by asking "how's everything tasting?" and "can I get you anything else?" to which all I could do is point to my wife's missing food and my food sitting there getting cold for nearly an hour. We eventually gave up and got my half a sandwich to go and asked for her entree to be cancelled. They packaged up her entree (and took it off the bill) and we felt horrible. All of this was on Valentines day and the night was ruined. All the waitress could say is they were short handed with only one server, and she just got there. And this was on Valentine's Day and a Suns game that same night. TOTAL FAIL. (But that Cuban sandwich was the best I've had in a decade.)

What a cute, intimate spot! The service, food, drinks, and atmosphere here were fantastic, and my partner and I are eager to return. Their espresso (and espresso-related cocktails) are high-quality, even for a couple of coffee snobs like us.
