“The staff was polite, attentive, and actually all smiling while workng. Which is rare to see these days. I ordered a Castro Fidel dinner with a Mojito, it was magically delicious. I you have to take some time and look around at the decorations, it's like a time capsule of the owners life with that Cuban touch. I can’t wait to go back to try a few other dishes!“
“MOUTHWATERING SABOR!! The food was absolutely amazing. Perfectly seasoned, did not need any salt or pepper from me.. which is rare. I ordered the Pechuga a la Plancha and it did not disappoint.Being Hispanic and growing up around such food, a lot of restaurants in Melbourne really miss the mark when it comes to preparing delicious food that tastes like it comes straight out of your mama’s kitchen.Nini’s hit the bullseye.To start - the chicken was thinly sliced but made up for its thin cut with massive size. Despite that thin cut, it was juicy, mouthwatering, and FLAVORFUL!! No skimping on onions or lime..Served with a side of black beans chock full of bacon grease (I believe) and seasonings bringing back nostalgic memories of my mom’s cooking.. I knew I was in the right place.The rice is nothing to write home about of course, but that’s because it’s made to be eaten with the delicious black beans!What IS worth writing home about, however, is their homemade SOFRITO. Served with my chicken and my boyfriend’s skewers, this sauce is like crack. Just try it!!Onto my 4 stars for service, we came on a Thursday night and the restaurant was almost at capacity. I don’t think they staffed properly for this because there was only 2 servers rotating hostess duties. Due to that, service was a bit slow but very friendly nonetheless. We were never neglected.Atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired, not sure if I came on a bad day but the bathroom inside was a little smelly. Whether that be from the chemicals used to clean it or some sewage issue, but I seemed to be the only one bothered by it. Curse my sensitive nose!All in all, do not let my 4 stars for service and atmosphere prevent you from going. It’s very possible I just came on a bad day. The FOOD is what you’re coming for. And that is the crowning jewel of reasons why I will be returning to Nini’s.“
“A NEW FAVORITE! I have been to this plaza for years and never saw this little gem of Cuban cuisine! The staff were so friendly, accommodating and patient. They explained the menu and created exactly what I asked for. The atmosphere was such that it felt like we were on vacation in the islands or another country! The food! I had eggs, seasoned home fries and a Cubano sandwich. The home fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. The Cubano, better than when we were in Puerto Rico! The Big Cuban (steak) thin cut and seasoned beef steak with sauteed onions. Cooked to perfection. I almost forgot the coffee. Cafe Cubano a large espresso with a hint of sweet that was the best espresso ever!“
“the food is great. very fresh made. the empanadas very crunchy fresh made. i recommend start with a cuban sandwich and a cortadito. then a guava empanada. the hall family gets something and it was just like $50 and some change. definitely will be my place to grab a bite before i go to the beach.“
“!BEST CUBAN SANDWICH!My Dad took me out for lunch here and we split their cuban pressed sandwich, I also got a REAL Cuban coffee. I can't rave enough about that Cuban sandwich.The coffee was perfect. The fresh pork, ham and the cup of hot sauce provided was awesome! I added a little extra of Blue Agave Sriracha I had and a bit of Yellow mustard.Insanely delicious! If you're craving great Cuban food, this place is definetely worth the trip!Parking: It's a fairly small shop, and parking isn't terrible if not too busy.“
“Deon was our service and I can’t say enough about him. It has been a while since I’ve had such a professional and friendly server. Good service is hard to find but you guys nailed it with D!We ordered the key west bowl, Cuban,chimichurri steak sandwich (bread was soggy) and the guava cheesecake. everything was delicious but we he two standouts were the cheesecake and the key west bowl.The key west bowl and guava“
“Absolutely love this place!!! Every time we come here no matter how busy the food is Always on point!!!!! The appetizers are all delicious! The mojitos are really great! I’m a huge fan of the pork with yellow rice and black beans! My husband absolutely loves the chimichurri steak!!!! This is definitely a go to spot!“
“Don’t let the look fool you, this Gas station has the best cheese pastries I’ve ever had in my lifetime thus far… also their breakfast sandwiches is amazing. I’m definitely going to miss coming here. They’ve made my vacation memorable.#“
