I have visited this Cuban restaurant spot over the last 10 years when visiting the area for work and it is consistently great. The portions are large. The owner is very accommodating. And the apps and main entrees are terrific. My friends also felt it was excellent. I am not Cuban, but I can state the food is excellent. It’s not a chain. Locally owned. And very clean! Highly recommend.

We keep coming back because the food is really good—true Cuban food. The owner removed the service fee, which we didn’t see on the receipt and really appreciated. We still left a 20% tip. Great food and a pleasant experience 👍
Previous- 2025 Every time we come here to Orlando we visit this little place because the food is really good .
What we didn’t like is they add the tip and this should be optional . My husband wanted to give the waitress cash and a little more but the tip was already added to the bill ….

We walked in around 3:30 on a Saturday and it was completely empty. Why, I don’t know, because the food and service were excellent. My child had the palomilla with white rice and my mom and I both ordered the ropa vieja with moros (they call it congri). Everything was super flavorful. Is it a little expensive? Yes, but considering it’s in a touristy neighborhood, that’s to be expected. The server (possible owner?) was very friendly. I will absolutely be visiting again in future visits to Orlando.

The owner here makes phenomenal recommendations. We got the oxtail, the skirt steak with chimichurri, and the slow cooked pork. All were absolutely delicious and melted in our mouths. The plantains were cooked perfectly: crispy outside, sweet and tender inside. If you would like to experience Cuban food for the first time or want the best Cuban cooking available, you must try this restaurant. Humble, engaging, honest, friendly, and incredibly delicious food.

Stayed at the hilton close by the restaurant as I work for the company this place was recommended to me I wanted to buy the staff of 15 a holiday dinner on 12/23 aprox 3pm was told I couldn’t as it’s to big of an order and I needed to call 2 days in advance! Was like why if you have a party of 15 come in will you turn them away it’s easy money as a owner or GM you should be grateful to have such a big order never turn away business not smart business.. my back up was Pio Pio a great Colombian restaurant that took my order quickly food was tasty and plenty I will be sure to have my hotel team recommend Pio Pio to all our guests that inquire we are in the hospitality industry and turning guests away is not in my smart business practice however now we know and moved ahead..

I’ve had a lot of Cuban food in my travels around this country and I can say this place is easily the best Cuban food I’ve ever had anywhere. I always come here whenever I’m in the Orlando area. The vaca frita, ox tail and Pargo are in a league of their own. The service is always friendly with a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend.
