Last minute reservation at 8:30 and was seated immediately. Waitress took my order within 5 minutes of being seated. We were starving so that was helpful. Food was excellent although first steak came out overcooked but she didn’t even hesitate to send it back when she looked and saw its doneness was not right. Ambiance was exactly what I expected, loud Cuban family atmosphere. My kind of place!

We had such a wonderful experience, especially with the live performance and the exquisitely delicious food. We loved the authentic Cuban vibe although the noise level at times was a little too high for us to hear one another. Understandably the service was a little slow for such a busy night but our waitress took very good care of us. Overall, an excellent experience and I recommend anyone visiting this area to definitely try this place for dinner.

We had a layover at MIA and ubered to this restaurant located in a small retail strip. There are only 8 or so tables. There is a very nice menu but we were greeted by the chef who made us special dishes of bolognese and snapper with fresh veggies and pasta. Complimentary bread is out of this world. Cuban chef trained in Italy - excellent experience! Can’t wait o go back!!
