“Clean and vibrant atmosphere. Prompt and friendly service. This is a westernized take on Cuban food. We tried 2 of their plates and sandwiches. While they were very tasty the flavor (specially black beans/ a Cuban staple) are not authentic.
Nonetheless, this was definitely a flavorful Cuban like experience. ??“

“After a long search for good Latin music in the Tampa Bay Area, I stumbled across this underground club. Such a great vibe and the music spans from salsa, merengue and bachata with a live band until about 12 and then they have a DJ that typically plays reggaeton until late. I’ve gone various times and the DJs were great. Until unfortunately they recently changed their DJ for some guy with a panda suit. Sorry but not the right fit for this place. It’s an all Latin club and you have a DJ playing house music that empties the entire dance floor as soon as he begins. I hope they find another DJ like they used to have! The old DJs were great playing old school reggaeton and had the dance floor full all night. I hope they find another DJ because this place has great potential. They just need better artists.“

I just try the cuban coffee, omg it was perfectly balance foaming omg. It woke me up to get ready for work. Gary was really humble and respectful and on point with customer service“

“Típico Café Latino (Típico Latino Restaurant), 566 Barton Boulevard, Rockledge, Florida- 5-Stars Although the Hispanic population in Brevard County as of 2022 is a mere 11.6%, their restaurants must make up 35% of the restaurant inventory. Now that I have dined at so many Latin establishments, I feel I am starting to discern the good, the bad, and the horrific. Recently I found myself in Rockledge walking into the unassuming Tipico Café Latino. The place didn't look like much to me at first, and since the most obvious definition of "típico" in English means "typical," I was concerned. Later when I found out that "típico" when referring to food is more about how such a dish represents the most famous local flavor of a region, the name made perfect sense. The food prepared here is the real deal and it's truly outstanding. Don't let the ambiance of this small saloon deter you. Elise is the owner and personally sees to the comfort of her guests. She and her chef are from the Dominican Republic, and their website states that Dominican cuisine has been influenced by indigenous Dominicans as well as settlers from Spain, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Canary Islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti (next door on the shared island of Hispaniola), and Hungary. They further indicate that flavor contributions have been made by Sephardic Jews, slaves brought to the Republic by the French in the 17th Century, and freed Blacks who fled from the United States in the 19th Century. From the Menú Típica Latino, I ordered the Típico Fried Platter, and I strongly suggest you do the same. It has everything: Fried Pork, Fried Chicken, Longaniza (Spanish sausage), Salami, Fried Cheese, Casava, and Tostones. Amazing! As the Dominican Republic is only 57 miles southeast of Cuba, it is not surprising that there are also a few expressly classic Cuban dishes on the menu. One of these is the Ropa Vieja/ Shredded Stewed Beef and Vegetables. The rice accompanying this "típica" Cuban dish was cooked perfectly. The beef itself was so tender, its juices so flavorful, that for a moment I experienced zoanthropy, becoming one of Pavlov's dogs salivating just remembering this experience. I pull myself together, remembering I am a human man, and wipe the slobber off my jowls with a towel. THIS IS A BIG BOY MUST TRY! The Big Boy says, "Go see Elise, try the Típico Fried Platter, and, oh yeah, bring your appetite."“

“As long as you live outside your country and are lucky enough to find a kind person willing to help you. Like the man of this place, who makes a very empathetic effort to try to speak Spanish and so that I can eat what I want in peace in his place, that place deserves 5 ? ?. I don't remember his name but if you go to the tropical chicken at this address you will know without a doubt who he is, congratulations sir, have a lot of success“
