    Decided to try a new place for Father's Day and we were not disappointed! This restaurant is located in a plaza with ample parking. They have indoor and outdoor seating but we chose to sit indoors. We were pleasantly surprised to know they had live music although I'm unsure if it's a regular thing or something special they did for Father's Day. Food was good, portions are fair and the drinks were delicious. I took off a star because service could have been better but overall I would recommend this place for someone looking for enjoy some Cuban food.

    absolutely loved this spot!!!! They had a great live music band playing Saturday night. super quick service and quick seating walked in and waited less than 10 min. I tried the senora deisy cocktail which was rum based w passionfruit and tamarindo it was the besttttt, love a good passionfruit cocktail! The ropa vieja came with with rice black beans and platano maduros, such a big portion definitely shareable. We got a side of yucca frita which I preferred over the tostones ( a litttle low on salt) but the mojo that came with them was amazing!

    As a Cuban guy from Miami, I feel that I can leave an honest and fair review for this restaurant. First of all, this place really knows how to set the vibe when it comes to their live music! When I arrived, they had a whole Cuban band playing live music until till the time I left. The food here is pretty tasty. The Lechon Asado was delicious. My girlfriend ordered the Masita de puerco Fritas and it was pretty good also. My tostones appetizer was kind of disappointing, but I should've known better considering it was a spin off of a traditional Cuban dish. But they do bring you nice complimentary Cuban bread when you're seated. I tried a few different cocktails that I can't remember the names of but they were all really good. Overall, very enjoyable experience.

    Abit of Miami in So Cal. A pure hidden gem. I found this gem on Yelp after playing pickleball in the area. Not sure what I expected, but once we found this hidden gem. We knew it was the right place. It's hidden in a mini mall, yes just keep driving you will find it. Once we pulled up we heard the live music. The ambiance is soo beautiful. Never been to Miami, but this is what I see Miami as. We sat outside, and listened to the live Cuban Music. Service was on point, never had an issue. We ordered the mufungo and the shrimp spicy dish. Sooo delicious!! This is definitely a hidden gem not to miss.
