Friday 12/27 we arrived to the cafe at 7:38pm and immediately the server looked down at her watch as we entered. My wife and I possibly reading the action wrong, checked to see at what time the restaurant closed. 9pm said the sign on the door, but 8:40pm the server advised verbally in a later conversation. My wife suggested that we leave. I said no, let's give them a chance. I really wanted authentic Cuban cuisine being that we had just arrived from Key West minutes before. Positives: food arrived quickly, drinks were cold, atmosphere was clean. Negatives: Moro Rice was barely warm, Plastic strand was found in my rice and zero resolution to what it was or where it came from was given. Not even an apology was given. The Ropa Vieja tasted good and was hot. 4 hours later I through up the whole meal in the hotel.

Ordered a chicken soup and Crema de Malanga for delivery today 12/27/2024 through Uber Eats. It got here extremely fast (within 20 minutes from ordering), however it was so cold you can tell it is not fresh at all. It tastes like it’s been sitting in the fridge for days. I’m currently sick so ordering a nice, hot soup and receiving bland, cold soup was very disappointing. The Crema de Malanga is also extremely bland and tastes rotten. Giving three stars because I used to eat here years ago and would have given five stars then. Hoping the restaurant is just having a bad day and this is not a recurring theme… Extremely disappointed with this order :(.

Online order 12/5/2024: Absolutely disgusting. Full of grease, cold and they also put the small and very expensive slice of avocado ($ 3.00), with the rest of the food; this naturally caused it to turn black, and roll around with the rest of the food.

Quaint cafe with pictures of celebs etc on the walls. Food is incredible, and service is fast. It wasn't exceptionally busy, but we were there for lunch on a Wednesday. The tostones were incredible topped with baby shrimp and fresh herbs with a squeeze of fresh lime was the perfect appetizer. The Marinated Pork Chunks were flavorful, and perfectly prepared to be tender on the inside. The world famous Grilled Pork sandwich lived up to its name with shredded pork sauted onions lettuce, and a side of pico de Gallo. A very enjoyable experience.

My order was sent incorrectly when ordered from Uber. I asked for no onions but got the sandwich with onions. I spoke to owner Pablo & he was super rude & would not send a replacement order. I will not be ordering from here or recommend.
