My first visit, but not my last. The food was great. The atmosphere was cozy. I like the mom and pop businesses and this restaurant has that feature.

Nice little place in downtown Melbourne. Good food. They were busy, so the service was a bit slow. All in all, it was a ok experience. Live entertainment was very good. We were seated behind the up on the stage, which was kind of weird, so we only saw the back of the violinist performing. The place has lots of trinkets to look at with a nice atmosphere. I doubt we will be back. My wife's chicken tasted sour. My pork was good. What seemed to be a mashed potato ball was burnt, and the empanadas were hard to chew.

Super tasty! Loved the Cuban sandwich and the pumpkin soup. The beans are also amazing. I only wish I had more time in the area to try more things from the menu, but will likely be back!

Festive atmosphere. The staff are friendly, inviting and polite. The food was good. They had some singers on a Saturday night and the music was fun, not so loud to impact conversation and enjoyable. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food

Absolutely the best Cuban sandwich!! Amazing flavor and texture. Perfectly grilled, only draw back is it’s so good you want to eat it all in one setting, but plan on taking left-overs cos it’s a lot of meat on this sandwich. Also, served with fried plantains, so it cos with a side of desert!

A remarkable Cuban place with great options and choices, my first time trying many signature dishes, the paella is amazing and it’s essentially the Cuban version briyani, the tamale was amazing and my first time trying the flan, and boy did it not disappoint, can’t wait to come back!

I absolutely love this place. Their food is some of the best in town. It is so fresh and full of so much flavor. Highly recommend. It is worth the little bit of extra dollars.

Delicious Cuban food, nice atmosphere with reasonable price. Loved the yuca frita, the beef empanadas with home flavor and the maduros. Refreshing mojitos. Espectacular flan with cafecito!

Our most favorite restaurant in all of central Florida. We loved coming here when we lived in Melbourne and now we try to make the hike from Orlando as often as possible. Amazing food. Incredible service. Feel-at-home atmosphere. And the live music is a definite plus!!
