What our guests are saying
My wife and I have been coming here regularly for the past several months, and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently excellent, the service is good, and the atmosphere is welcoming. We usually come on Sundays and order the Cuban combo, which includes a Cuban sandwich, fries, and black beans. The portions are very generous and we always leave full.

We came here for my birthday dinner, although the inside seating was full, there was plenty of outside seating. It was a little warm but they had plenty of fans. Our service was fantastic! Every employee we encountered was caring and professional. Our food was delicious and portions were large. I look forward to coming back in the future. I also want to give a special shout out to our server because she was so awesome. Thank you Kiara for making my birthday special!

Don't sleep on this delicious Cuban restaurant tucked away in downtown Mount Dora. We hard a hard time choosing what to get so we sampled a bit of everything. The pan con ropa vieja was amazing. The Cuban bread itself is so buttery and melts in your mouth. The tostones and plantain chips were also excellent. I'm glad we decided to try this place and recommend it very highly!

The food was amazing! Loved everything we tried... we had the appetizer sampler, which was very reasonably priced and delicious. There is indoor and outdoor seating... we sat inside and the atmosphere was great. The server was attentive, friendly and professional. Looking forward to eating here again!
