What Macey Fahey dislikes about Florida:
Been coming here for over 15 years , food is delicious. I would come here more often but the SERVICE IS TERRIBLE! Always has been, My mom has brought this up to the owner didn't give one care. She just stood quiet. Piece of advice order food and drinks at once , you will not see your server again. View all feedback.

I've found my way to Cuban food heaven! I discovered a hidden gem! Out of all the Cuban restaurants I've tried since moving here six years ago, this one is by far the best! Eating a genuinely authentic Cuban meal took me right back to Miami. It brought back memories of my father's cooking, which was so heartfelt I almost teared up. I absolutely love this restaurant! It’s definitely worth the 40-mile drive to experience it.
