Super nice staff and great food. Thank you for the hospitality this morning - been missing Cuban cuisine. Sorry I had a Fat Girl flare up before I could take a pic of the guava and cheese delicacy. lol 😆

Absolutely amazing!! The service is top tier, they treat customers like family. Tiffany and Sully are amazing, they represent the face of 1928 in the way that it should. Truly nothing like it in the north Florida area. I am an avid traveler and the closest thing to 1928’s environment and service would be all the way in south Florida. 10/10 recommend!

Stopped by with some friends that love the place. Tried the fried potato ball. It was ok. The beef filling was a little cold. Empanadas were really good. There isn't a lot of room inside, but they do have some outdoor seating as well. Nice little place with friendly staff.
