Love the food, service, and price! The Cuban food is great, meticulously prepared and presented, the portions are huge, presented with a smile, all at a very reasonable price. The specials of the day are especially well worth trying, for flavor and value, they can't be beat.

Was working in the area. Stopped in for lunch to get a Cubano but ended up getting the Ropa Viejas "Thursday Special"It was very good, actually too much to eat for me.I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

Authentic, fairly priced, and great service. There are so many places in Florida to try but this one, you don't want to pass up.

Honestly, it's a shame about this place, $60 lunch for 3???? Smaller portions than last year. Owner's husband is arrogant and foolish. He could be sitting on a pot of gold if he truly represented this establishment with good service and and better prices. Let's call it what it is, rice and beans are not a specialty and should be priced more appropriately. If they had a better attitude and better flavor I don't mind the price, but not in the mood to over pay for rice and beans served by an arrogant "know it all". Ha! I am off to Cuban Delight Cafe on 540.

Food was ok. The Cuban wasn’t pressed or very warm. Cheese wasn’t melted.

I normally dine in and have always loved the experience. This time our company treated the team to lunch and it was PHENOMENAL. They made ordering and pick up super easy, and everything was packed and organized really well (plus they loaded my car which I didn't expect and it was so appreciated!). The food was incredible...like, absolutely incredible. The Ham Croquettes were everyone's favorite - do yourself a favor and always order extra, you'll want them. THANK YOU FROM TEAM BPI!
