The best Cuban food in town. The atmosphere is great for a fun night out. They have live music and the bar tenders are fantastic

I was a bit disappointed that there were only 2 music performers and had hoped for something more lively. The arroz con pollo was tasty but the vaca frita was so so. Cocktails were ok but nothing out of the ordinary. I think the prices were too high for the average quality of the food.

Too overpriced

The atmosphere was very energetic. Once you walk into the restaurant, it feels like you’ve been transported back to the 1950s. With dim lights, classic Cuban music, and great food, it’s truly a unique experience.

The food was delicious! We started with tostones with lechón, which were full of flavor—the mojo was especially tasty. Then we followed that with la croqueta de chorizo, which was also very good. We couldn’t get enough of the lechón, so we made that our main dish, and it came with yuca con mojo and chicharrón.

To end the night, we had the bread pudding with chocolate, which was divine! We took the arroz con leche at home. Overall, though, the rest of the food was excellent!

Always the perfect place to bring somebody who's coming in from out of town to give them an authentic Cuban experience that you don't find other cities

Wonderful place! But our check included 20% gratuity for two people and our waitress tried to get us to tip in addition because she “only gets 10%” herself.

A full experience — excellent food, friendly and attentive staff, and and live entertainment. This dinner was my most memorable one from my trip to Miami.

Looking forward to going back again

Tourist trap! Known to be a live music and fun spot however live music was limited! We were there for over 2 hours and musicians barely played 40 minutes. Band spent most of the time on breaks. Dancing clearly not encouraged as tables shoved in front of stage instead of providing a place for dancing. Rushed service to turn tables as quickly as possible - food came out 5 minutes after ordering. Drinks weak - glass basically filled with ice.

Good amenities but the hostess is kind of rude and not apologetic at all the $95 fee mandatory is a little upsetting they ring tell you until you get to the not nice hostess
