San Luis Cuban Cafe - Fort Myers

The food was outstanding and the service was great, but I wasn't fond of the payment process. I ordered two items: the special for $9.99 and an empanada for $2.75, which were the prices listed on the menu. When I asked for the check, the server told me to pay at the front, so I didn’t receive an itemized bill. Instead, I was informed that my meal cost $16.10—a 26% increase that clearly wasn’t just tax. I don’t like unexpected charges, and while it was only a few extra dollars for me, a family of four would face a much larger surprise. Although the food was good, the misleading pricing led me to deduct two stars. If the pricing had been accurate, I might have made different choices.

This restaurant is a cozy spot with an incredible selection of tasty dishes. From the moment I entered, the service was exceptional. I couldn't resist trying the special of the day, which featured a delicious combination of rice, grilled chicken, and fried plantains. It was absolutely divine! I also indulged in two beef empanadas that were bursting with flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fulfilling meal. And to top it off, my delicious food and a refreshing drink only cost $20! I was pleasantly surprised, as I had expected it to be pricier. Overall, this restaurant is an excellent choice for a delightful dining experience!

This is exactly the type of restaurant I love: a small, unpretentious family-run spot that locals frequent, specifically Cuban-American locals in this case. It might not be much to look at, but they offer generous portions of delicious Cuban cuisine at reasonable prices. In a landscape filled with chain restaurants, this place truly stands out as a gem. They also serve breakfast and lunch. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Amazing authentic Cuban food, fresh Cuban bread. 10 stars highly recommend

Absolutely amazing! My partner and I were out and he was craving Spanish food, so we found ourselves at this restaurant. I looked at the reviews, but I always take them with a grain of salt. I ordered the Piccadillo, and it was fantastic!
