El Mocho Cocina Cubana Reviews
Best of the best highly reccomended place to eat
Beware when paying that you will not be paying menu prices. Shady.
Best espresso in my known universe. Fluffy pancakes and friendly service. My “taking friends to the airport” stop before dropping them off.

Based on the reviews, El Mocho Cocina Cubana is a fantastic spot for authentic Cuban food. The staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the service is fast. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, like an island cafe. The food is amazing, full of flavor, and tastes truly homemade. Specific meals mentioned include the ropa vieja and the picadillo, both served with black beans and rice and perfectly cooked plantains. Other menu items like the croqueta sandwich, yuca frita, and chicken empanada are delicious, crispy, and fresh with generous portions. The homemade flan is smooth and creamy. The new bar options are fantastic, with a delicious mimosa made with fresh juice. The Special Breakfast cannot be beat for the price, and the Cuban coffee is really good. Prices are more than fair and very reasonable. A popular local spot, it is recommended for anyone looking for authentic, amazing food.
