I came straight here after airport. It was a bit early for dinner so there wasn't anyone when I got there around 5. I liked the vibe and the little tiki bar. The waitress was friendly. I ordered a Cubano sandwich. I would say that's not the best one that I've had but it was good. The bread was nicely toasted. I liked sweet plantain on the side. Overall it's a nice place to grab a quick bite.
Excellent food and great service! We are a group of 4 and visiting Fort Lauderdale. After a quick search on Yelp, this came up. We were all hungry so no photos but I had a cuban sandwich with fries. We had plantain chips and a fried yuca as a shared appetizer. First taste of a plantain chip, it was delicious and knew this place would be special. I also had 2 cuban espressos. I originally only planned drinking 1 but it was so good a second was absolutely necessary. Outside my sandwich the rest of my group ordered rice plates with beef, shrimp, and chicken. All excellent from what I tried. We ended strong on probably the best tres leches I've had. Others taste watery to me but this was sweet and flavorful. I'd come back a second and third time if I could.
Authentic Cuban cuisine. Food was great with exceptional service at a reasonable price. Wonderful ambiance and truly a gem in Dania Beach, Florida.
The food here was spectacular. I've been craving croquetas for the longest and they easily exceeded my expectations! The staff was also very pleasant and helpful. Definitely will be back!
One of those places where someone's Tia is making the food in the back. So good. Get the breaded steak, black beans plantains and rice, and Cafe con leche, and enjoy heavens food
