This is one OUTSTANDING hidden gem! The food is so delicious that I was left speechless as to how to describe it! The owner, Celly, is a beautiful person inside and out and her Bodega reflects that. I will most definitely be back as often as possible! No matter where you are in JAX, I highly recommend driving here to try their coffee and have an incredible meal. They are open from 10-3 and are in a little strip mall just off Roosevelt Blvd.

I want to come back to try something else off the menu because they have such great reviews! I went for Cuban subs & really did feel like it was similar to any Cuban sub I’ve had. I really didn’t like the thick cut ham, but that’s a personal preference!

I got the crocettes that were decent a little too greasy. Chicken empanada was VERY bland and chicken was rubbery. I will still go back and try something different.

Food was delicious. The Spicy G sandwich was a smack in the mouth of authentic flavors. I was shocked after my first bite. Ordered a sangria and a sweet tea. Both tasted absolutely homemade and one of a kind. The owner was very friendly and polite giving all details of the menu and what she had to offer. The place is decorated wonderfully with art around every corner. I came in close to closing time and was welcomed with open arms. There is a surprise patio out back where there is more seating and area ro have a nice lunch. Will return and try to eat everything off the menu. Thank you again for that delicious lunch.

Incredibly well cooked and seasoned items. One of the best lunches we’ve had in town in a long time. Lots of care and thought put into this menu. Can’t recommend enough. This is one to support and keep around.
