cuban food for anglos

by billnmiami

well we had reynaldo as our server he was very helpful in suggestions

first he suggested 2 coco havana's coconut pineapple and rum yummmmmy

then he said as an appetizer he suggested "a taste of havana" chic-pork-maraquitas-enchaladas

yukka -coquettes oh my gosh heaven all so fresh

oh yeah warm and soft rolls came imediatley and ice cold water --glass was never empty

clean brite white table cloth and what looked like silver flatware

i had the breaded fish (which was almost bigger than the dinner plate) which came with rice and garlic black beans and bananas------------ it was wonderful

my friend had the very tender chic breast with fried bananas black beans and rice (im having that next time

seriously this is a wonderful place beautiful senic window to a lush garden very very clean brite and cheerful service was like the old days fast friendly and polite

this is a find you wont be disapointed

and all for a check of 38 dollars and change and lots to take home

thanks for great food and great service we'll be back

love the grilled pork chops

by pinays

i was pleasantly surprised with this little cuban place that is not in calle ocho. the service here was definitely a lot better than what i experienced at versailles so this place already has the upper hand. i truly enjoyed the pork chops and the rice and beans. we were not so impressed with the chicken dishes but i would keep coming back (if i'm in town) for the pork chops.

Best food we had our whole vacation.

This place is not in any of the hot spots of Miami, but it is worth the drive to North Miami Beach. Get the sampler appetizer, everything is great on this. The meals are very large and well seasoned(did not even need salt or pepper). Casual dress is perfect for this place, which is great when you have kids. Just be careful of a drink called "mojito", it has a very strong flavor and is very potent. Unless you are into hype and high prices you should definetly check this place out.

• Pros: excellent food
• Cons: service is friendly but a little slow
