I was looking for some Cuban food in the area after visiting the Wynwood Walls museum and happened upon this place. It was an odd hour and quiet inside, but a few groups stopped in when we were here and it became more lively.
We were feeling good with their pitcher drinks and their food was amazing. I tried two Cuban sandwiches in Miami so far and this one was far better! The Chicharrones were delicious, best I ever had. My partner got the Pollo Empanizado with two sides, one of which was yucca. I was obsessed with the spices used in that dish and the flavor and texture of yucca. It was close to potato.
Our server was Jay! His service was amazing and he treated us so well. He got everything that we needed and he was so friendly and fun to talk to! We loved dining here! Highly recommend!

I keep telling people to go by here since it's easily missed in all of the new businesses in Wynwood! Where else can you get entrees from a Cuban and Greek menu, both solid, for $13-17? You can't beat having a fake cocaine brick (at least I think) sitting at your table amidst the menus and drinks. They have regular silverware but do use plastic cups that gives off that relaxed, casual vibe. There are several craft beers from all over the country available from $7-10, and I believe a couple house wines. I think the nicest drink you can get is a frozen lemonade or fruit punch. It comes virgin and a little sugary, a little coarsely icy, a lot refreshing. But you can ask for a shot of rum to be added to it. I could drink 3 of those if I allowed myself to!
I have tried friends' Cuban dishes, like yuca fries, tostones, rice and beans, which have all been standardly good. But I always get drawn to the Greek menu and end up ordering the plates. The plates are huge and come stacked with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, a beautifully dressed salad, tzatziki, hummus and pita slices. You have a choice of side, and I have unashamedly ordered the crispy, crunchy fries each time and have plenty to share. The proteins are clearly made freshly---the falafel is crisp and the chicken kebab is well seasoned and moist.
However, they come up with creative and tasty offerings as well. The Cuban Sandwich Empanadas are stuffed with juicy pulled pork, ham and melty cheese for a snack you didn't realized you had been waiting for. The Greek egg rolls blows my mind and are a great hot, greasy, juicy, meaty treat.
The servers are typically on it when it comes to orders and whatever you need. Owner Adrian keeps his staff on point, and JJ is always a friendly face when we go. They inform us at the time to pay (at least in my experience) that 18% gratuity is automatically added to the check, so the tip page is for any additional gratuity.
Give yourself a stop by this restaurant and try their dishes for yourself! I dare you to be able to choose just one or two!

Miami vice vibes ??This place was delicious!!! a wonderful mix of Cuban and Greek cuisine! I ordered ropa vieja, a gyro with fries inside, and a fantastic Greek salad. The service was great, and I will definitely come back when I visit Miami again!

The food wasn’t authentic for the money I paid. I would have been better off going to a Chinese buffet and spend less money for a party of 6 was 206.00. The drinks were horrible as well.
