    Some of the best Cuban food I've had, even better than Miami restaurants. It's a dining experience, so enjoy it. The Lechon Asado and Masitas are incredible. We had the combination appetizer plate -- best item by far was the stuffed plantains -- filled with lecon asado! Two of the party had birthdays a week apart, so we mentioned it in the reservation. They surprised us with Flan and Tres Leches cake, on the house. I'm sure that the other dishes are great, too, but being married to a Cuban for almost 50 years, I make a killer ropa vieja, so we almost never get that at restaurants. Our waiter, Myriel, was great! A 5 star experience

    Wonderful...(Off-season, so quiet there)...we ate inside with airco set to very comfy level....background music nice, soft so we could easily hear other. Waitress was very nice, attentive and knowledgeable. Asked if we had questions (yes) and answered them to perfection. I asked for certain ingredients to be excluded for me, and it was 100% done right. The food...everything was delish. I had a Pork entree & my wife chicken...each had two different sides. We split the ham appetizer...everything perfectly cooked and so good. Drinks were $reasoable & perfect (margheritas and sangria). One split dessert also very nice. We are looking forward to going back sometime soon to try other menu dinner selections.

    The food was good. I had the Steak Churasco, which was tender, but could have used more salt and perhaps lime or something to enhance the meat flavor. The moros was delicious. My husband had the Pollo a la Cuban, which he described as lacking flavor, but tender. The Sampler Platter of appetizers was tasty. The sangria was tasty and refreshing. The ambiance was okay.

    We had a delicious meal. The staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered pork and hubs ordered chicken. Both were old-school yummy. The chocolate tres leche was wonderful and a unique dessert option. If we lived in Naples we would be regulars. Absolutely love that this is a family owned business too.

    What a find!!! the restaurant is located in a strip mall with more than adequate parking. It is a small establishment with indoor and outdoor seating. The food is exceptional- taste is great and authentic. My favorite is the Lechon Asado . Tender and tasty roasted pulled pork. I chose the sweet plantains and moros- yum. The sangria is great ( we order by the pitcher); my husband ordered the pork steak and was very pleased. The sampler platter, as an appetizer, is sure to please. The home made flan is terrific. The staff is friendly and attentive .We absolutely recommend!!
