Our Guestbook
“ Nice mid-sized restaurant with Cuban-style food. The devil crab was large, meaty and tasty. The Ybor Salad was loaded with ham, salami, Swiss cheese, and green olives. The service was very fast and friendly. We even had two different waitresses who thought our table was in their section and came to take our drink orders. I'll probably come back again when I make my annual visit to the TECO Big Bend manatee viewing center, if they are still in business by then. My biggest concern for this business, believe it or not, was that it appeared substantially over-staffed. Someone scheduled far more wait staff than they really needed. That being said, all the servers were very nice, and they took our order and brought out the food quickly. Great for us. But how can you make money in a tough restaurant business when you pay too many servers? ”
“ I have visited this restaurant several times since moving here last summer! Staff are super friendly, service during each of my visits has been exceptional. Ambiance is and has been great during each visit! Food has been excellent! I do recommend visiting ”
“ Great local spot for authentic Cuban cuisine. Portions are large and so tasty! We had leftovers twice! Lots of menu option. The only drawback was presentation - definitely not fancy looking on the plate. But so good, who cares! ”
“ Decent Cuban food! Service was okay - maybe a little abrupt. Neat old wide plank flooring in an interesting building. Cuban sandwich was tasty. Chicken & rice dinner also very good. Recommend! ”
“ Easy to find location with ample parking and seating both inside and out. The front house Staff greeted me immediately and I was sat immediately as well. Had a friendly waitress who was attentive and kind throughout my lunch. I had the black bean soup and Sal's with the homemade ranch, and homemade bread and butter they bring everyone when sat. All was flavorful and reasonably priced. I ended my lunch with the Texas sheet cake. It's a large serving, and comes warmed with ice cream. The only lack I saw was that the bathroom needs a deep cleaning, and the dining area could use a revamp throughout and updated decor overall. Otherwise ”
“ This is my third time visiting this restaurant. Each time i am impressed. There is no problem parking. We were seated quickly even though it was Sunday at noon. We ordered our food and it was served quickly. The service was terrific. (Until the hubby started feeling ill. We asked our waitress if she could pack it up to go) when we got home, The food was excellent. My hubby had their cuban sandwich. I had the Grouper Supreme with plantains and clam chowder. It was amazing. I highly recommend this place. ”
