It was ok. They didn't have yucca that was on the menu. The tostones were very dry, hard and needed salt. They didn't have any sauces for the empanadas, only ketchup. But they were very friendly. The cuban sandwich was delicious.

I was fully intent on having a cuban sandwich this trip to Fl. My friends took me to Papi's Cafe and I almost slipped to get the food they were serving. But I stuck with the sandwich and I was blown away! It was perfectly pressed, the ratio of condiments-meat-bread ensured you got am equal amount with each bite. It was simply delicious! I can't wait to go back and try the other food they had...plus the sandwich!

Food is out of this world!!!! I got the lunch special with the pulled pork rice and beans and couldn’t believe how amazing it was! My husband got the Reuben and said it was fresh and tasted delicious! Will definitely be back to try brunch!
