“I went there quite some time ago, but wanted to give credit where credit is due. I can't wait to check out their new vibe on 'Cuban Corner' in Gainesville.I went there specifically for the Cuban sandwich, as I do Cubano reviews on YouTube (goofy, I know, but I love these things!). This, IMO, is the top ranked Cubano in the Gainesville area, or maybe even this north/central Florida region. Sandwich was fantastic. Pork was delicious, bread was nice and thin with a solid press (key!). They got this Cubano thing down. Highly recommend.Not sure the link will work from Yelp, but here is a video of my review, if interested (spoiler alert- I scored it an 8.4, which is currently tied for my #1 Cubano on my made up Cubano review scale): youtu.be/Bvn4Bs979c8“

“No frills amazing Columbian food. Seriously food like your abuela would make. The coconut rice is so good that you will be sad that you can't fit more in your belly. Together with the black beans it makes a beautiful meal. Top it off with platanos/maduros for a sweet finish.“

“We stop by here all the time in the back way from Miami or Tampa✨ Their empanadas are amazing! Ground beef empanadas are $3.5 for long time. Also their traditional mango smoothie is great? I like this Cuban Restaurant brand ‘Mi Apa’. Tried Guava &Cheese Pastry- it is great as well! Oh they have vegetarian empanadas option too! It’s taste like beef, $4.5 ?“

Mi Apa Latin Cafe at UF Reitz Cuban • $
Reitz Union Drive Floor 1, Gainesville

“My boyfriend took me to Mi Apa today after a long day of work. Both of us had not eaten today so we were both cranky. Thankfully our awesome server Sergio was the cure to our hangriness! He was quick and on top of everything. I got the Miami sandwich and my boyfriend got this bowl with beef, rice and plantains. We sat outside on the patio and despite that we never felt ignored by Sergio. Great service, food and ambiance. Will definitely be coming again!“

“Edit: Flacos has significantly improved their wait time issue. No more super long waits!Flacos has awesome food but the wait is always awful, any day, any time. I went in the middle of the day, no one else there, it took like 20 minutes to make my food. Tonight, Tuesday night, I ordered ahead, and have waited an extra 30 minutes past the pickup time. Flacos I love you but you guys just move so slowly“
