Baracoa Cuban Restaurant

We were visiting this area and this restaurant was highly recommended. We went last Saturday night and they had 2 awesome performers. Glad that I made a reservation so we could sit outside where the performers were. Our server was attentive though he was busy. The food and drinks were delicious.

Our party of two came here on a Tuesday evening at 6 PM for dinner. We were seated promptly and the helpful wait staff came and took our order shortly thereafter. We ordered the ceviche and the traditional Cubano. I was shocked as to the portion size for the ceviche, normally restaurants will skimp on the protein, but this one was loaded with shrimp and I absolutely loved it. It was incredibly flavorful with the mango and avocado slices. That was great, but the standout for me was the traditional Cuban sandwich. I’ve had a few cubanos before, but this one ranks as one of my favorites. The list of ingredients is simple, but it was so incredibly delicious. I definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the area!

Empanadas & potato balls 🔥. My steak was really good also. Will def come back. Drinks could've been a little stronger. Guava empanadas were tasty. Cortadito was pretty good ☕️. May 2024 Back again Aug 2025. solid 9 /10 drinks were good, empanadas & potato balls great of course, that spicy green sauce 🔥 Bistec de pollo delicious. Plantains cooked perfectly!

Beautiful atmosphere, live music and such delicious food! Service is also super nice and friendly! Will come back!

First time having Cuban food, and i had a great experience. The food had great flavors and the portion is just right.

We really enjoyed our experience here. When we walked in early (5-ish) on a Saturday and had to sit at the bar due to tables already been reserved. It ended up a great seat and with excellent service. The food was extremely flavorful and the drinks were even better. Highly recommended.

I love that we have diverse flavors to choose from here in the ANTELOPE VALLEY. Thanks to OWNERS of restaurants LIKE THIS ONE HERE FOR TAKING A CHANCE OUT HERE !WE CAN ENJOY A LITTLE BIT OF LATIN CULTURE FROM A CUBAN PERSPECTIVE AND THEY DELIVER... GIVING US FLAVOR AND THE CUBAN TOUCH YES FINALLY SOMEONE'S GOT IT RIGHT 👍 .....WE DON'T HAVE A PORTOS BUT YOU WILL DO JUST FINE . ❤️ Was Soo hungry forgot to take pics of food but here's dessert

Legit 5 stars in every category, one of the best restaurants I think I’ve ever visited. Fun, polite, knowledgeable staff. AMAZING food. Fair prices. I’d drive here from LA just for the oxtail special tbh. Great coffee based drink selection. Somewhat of a small place. Only about 12 tables; 5 seats at the bar. I came in for early dinner ~530pm by myself and grabbed an open bar spot. A few patrons were turned away without table reservations, as restaurant was booked/full for dinner. So make reservations! Decor is nice, but nothing super special; very clean inside with a large wall sign with the restaurant name displayed along with a few paintings on the wall. Rustic lights/fixtures give it some added character. Well lit with natural light from large windows, yet shaded from direct sun. Room kept at a comfortable temperature. I came back for coffee/lunch the next day and held up to the dinner standard. 10/10 absolutely recommend.

The Baracoa Cuban restaurant nails the essence of traditional cuban food while injecting contemporary touches. The flavors feel honest and expressive-garlic-forward, citrus-bright, and deeply savory in the best possible way. It's a spot that invites you to linger, share stories, and enjoy a mini-escape to my island without leaving town.

In Palmdale you will find a great Cuban restaurant Baracoa Cuban, with many favorite dishes like Ropa Vieja, many cuban sandwiches, tostones and so on. The restaurant is tucked on the side of a the main plaza, on the back site, it has outdoor covered seating with many seating options, the ceiling has great lighting and fans, the indoor seating is very classy with a bar top and many top shelf liquor options. The food was amazing, we had the Baracoa Cubano with rosemary fries. The pork had a lot of flavor, the sandwich bread was soft and filled with an ample serving of pork. Our favorite dish was the Pollo Encendido, grilled chicken that was slow braised in a "spicy" creole sauce with onions and bell peppers, it is also served with a mound of white rice, black beans, pickled red onion slices and a few fried plantains. Wow, what a great dish, lots of flavor plenty of protein, this is the type of dish that leads you to want to come back. The dish is not spicy, I requested a spicer salsa, the staff was very accommodating. I am really looking forward to trying a variety of many other dishes on the menu. The Drinks, I would highly recommend the following, the Berry Mojito is prepared with muddled mint, lime, a house made berry syrup, with dragon berry bacardi topped with lime soda, the next drink was not only refreshing but had a solid amount of alcohol starting with the havana sunset with matusalem rum, cointreau orange liqueur, and the final drink was my favorite the rum Old Fashion, with a top shelf whiskey. They did a great job preparing the drinks that complimented the meals well. The setting is very chill, the staff are very welcoming and the food is top notch, I would recommend if you are looking for a very authentic Cuban food restaurant that you do not miss the opportunity to stop by, I know we will be back.

I came here for lunch and sat outside on the patio. We ordered the ceviche del caribe & yuca frita to start. The ceviche was fresh and had a little kick. The yuca fritas are fried yucca root- nicely crispy & delicious garlic-lime mojo sauce. The Cubano Sandwich has slow roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard & mayo. The bread is toasty, meat is juicy and cheese melted- everything you need in a traditional cubano sandwich. Parking- big parking lot shared with other businesses

Baracoa is a great Cuban restaurant in the center of West Palmdale. The indoor sitting is intimate and inviting. The updated outdoor patio seating is spacious and adds a vibrant eating experience to the place. Food is delicious for a reasonable price, and the sangria is delicious. The service members are also so welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend a try if you're in the area.

What a cool little Cuban cafe! The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and professional (especially our server Christina). I only ordered a Traditional Cuban Sandwich (my favorite). Best I've ever eaten! Check this gem out if you're ever in town, and definitely have a Cuban Sandwich.

Juan was our server and he was amazing! Made our first time enjoyable and answered all the questions my bf and I had about the various dishes... he even showed us what various dishes look like on the menu when he brought them out to other customers. Our food was 10/10, coffee was amazing and the food is on point! Would come back! Expect to spend $20+ on the dishes but again, they are great and well worth the price! Everything pictured was 2 Cuban dishes, 2 coffees, an appetizer and one of my drinks for just under $100.

Order 12oz Ribeye Bistec Encebollado size of steak big but too much fat meat l only ate 1/3of meat food tasted ok but come on guys steak is hard to chewing

This is officially our new favorite restaurant in Palmdale. Its beautiful and the food is fantastic! The drinks are also wonderful. I made reservations and we got a lovely booth. My husband and I shared a Baracoa Cuban sandwich, papas rellenas, chimichurri veggies, and black beans. Everything was so delicious. The veggies were packed with flavor. The black beans were so good. If I didn't live 2 hours away, id eat them every day! Their take on the Cuban sandwich was so good. The papas rellenas were fabulous. We enjoyed the sangria and my husband also had an espresso martini. We took empandas to go to eat later for a late night snack. They were really good. The service was great and ambiance was festive and fun. We will be back next time we are in the area.

Short: I enjoyed my time at Baracoa Cuban Restaurant, the food is solid, service is friendly and an authentic menu / drink selection. Long: Baracoa Cuban Restaurant has an authentic menu and drink selection that was solid, even some cuban coffee. I tried the Lechon Asado which the plantains and sauce were amazing. The rice and beans were solid too, however the meat was lacking in flavor abit. Service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is nice. Overall, it's worth a try and a visit.

What a lively and delicious dinner spot to eat with friends! We were super excited to come here and Juan was our server. He was very friendly, great, and overall did amazing serving us!!! He recommended for us several dishes and the appetizer he recommended sounded delicious and perfect to share with others so we chose it. The entrees we each ordered were cooked to order so it took a while but were worth it. The plates were large in person and all of us got full super quickly, leaving room for leftovers. We were thinking of dessert but we were all so full we just couldnt!!! I got the Bistec Empanizido and the sirloin steak was seasoned so well!! The plantains were delicious and I enjoyed chewing them. The plaza is quiet and peaceful, but the outdoor patio is bustling with latin music full of cumbia and salsa beats. There is nice fire furnaces to keep warm by. The indoor dining area gradually got dimmer and the music vibes went from upbeat to jazz-slow style music as the night went on. Overall super pleased with the spot and enjoyed our night!!

Edit- updated due to owners response that it's a deposit and goes towards your meal, their team member just didn't realize that, which is a bummer since we had to find a different restaurant . I've enjoyed this place in the past, so much so that I wanted to invite 10 people for a group birthday lunch. They charge 7$ per person for the group, needless to say we will not be going. The 8 people who have never been will not try it for the first time. I'll never go again nor recommend it further. Don Gus Mexican in Palmdale has been more than helpful. While I can understand a higher base gratuity $70 on top of the meal is unacceptable.

Baracoa delivered a meal that felt like a warm hug from Havana. The ropa vieja was tender and rich, paired perfectly with fluffy rice, hearty beans, and sweet plantains that practically melted on the fork. Tangy pickled onions added a punch, and the portions were more than generous. The vibe was just as good--brick walls, patterned tiles, and a bar made for mojitos. The staff was friendly and helpful, and free parking was a bonus. My only wish? A changing table for us new parents (in men's restroom). Still, I'll happily be back for round two (and probably dessert).

Amazing place and Juan was great server. I will definitely be back at this place soon. I want everyone to know this is a clean and great restaurant where you will be treated with respect and care for your business. Order the garlic fries and the order of bread. Love Baracoa!

Probably just not my style. Food: 3 - Braised Beef, black beans (meh) Bar: 4 - good wine selection Service: 5 - exceptional, shockingly fast Atmosphere: 4 - nice open small single room Could have been a 4, but I probably just don't like Cuban style dishes (haven't tried many).

Complete 180 on my opinion as of my last review. This review is for my last visit at the restaurant and catering services. Restaurant visit was fantastic. The highlight was the Rabo Encendido. I've never had this before and it was superb! Looking forward to my next visit and enjoying it all over again! Catering was one of the best I've ever had! Just some context, we used them for an event at AV Winery for about 120 people. To keep fried foods crunchy/crispy and not have them dry out or get soggy is an art in itself. The croquetas de jamón were next level, even hours after being cooked and they were still hot. (side note: way better croquetas than Porto's, save yourself the drive). Rice, beans, pollo encendido and ropa vieja were all phenomenal. The chicken was moist the day of and even the day after. For chicken to not dry out is amazing (not sure what secret they hacked here). The process from start to finish was phenomenal regarding staff and servers. Marilem made me feel like family throughout our various conversations. She was flexible, professional, kind and wonderful in her consistent and timely communication. I would 1000% recommend them for catering. I'm confident you'll be just as impressed as we were!

If you haven't been to Barbacoa Cuban Restaurant in Palmdale next to the auto mall, you are missing out. They have the most amazing Cuban food ever. Their appetizers are TDF. Thats what we had for dinner. I ordered the civiche which was the best I have ever had. They do not skimp on the shrimp. Huge pieces, avocado, coconut mango salsa. Wow. So delicious. Served with plantain chips. So yummy. My hubby got the chicken empanadas and potato balls. So amazingly delicious.Of course he had to finish every bite. Couldn't let it go to waste. Lol. The sauce they give to dip is the best. Lip smaking. As you can see, the appetizers are a meal in itself. I truly recommend ordering a bit of everything. The serving sizes are huge. I couldn't finish mine. Lunch tomorrow. Yay me... The service is undeniablely wonderful. Everyone that works there is so nice. Priced reasonably too. We love this little family-owned gem.

This was the best dining experience that I've had in the AV. I came here on a Saturday night in a party of 2 and was immediately seated. The dimly lit room, art, real candles gave the whole place good vibes. Our server helped walk us through the menu and even checked in on me when I looked dead due to being dehydrated from a long road trip. We ended up ordering yuca frita and papas rellenas for our appetizers and then ropa veija with congri (Cuban rice and beans) for the main entree. Our apps came in after ten minutes. The papas came with their rico sauce which was pretty good and tangy. The papas had pickled onions and the yuca had pickled cabbage. The yuca tasted like a giant french fry. The papas were super crispy on the outside and had a mashed potato like filling (but better tasting). Both of these appetizers were awesome but if I had to choose between the two I'd go for the papas. The ropa vieja came another 15 minutes after our appetizers and it is absolutely humongous. They gave mojo sauce to pour onto the congri and it also had pickled onions and plantains. There was a bay leaf in my rice that was a bit annoying but not a big issue at all. The meat was super tender and juicy. The plantains were soft but also firm and sweet. The bell peppers literally melted in the mouth. This was a really satisfying dish and was so big that I had to take some of it home as leftovers. This was an all around fantastic dining experience. If anybody says that there isn't any good food in Palmdale please invite them to eat here so they can change their mind.

Stopped by this Cuban place with my family. There was 10 of us and they gave a long table outside. It was a hot day, but the patio area was shaded and cool. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. The food was soo good! We got the ceviche which was really tasty. It had a lot of seafood in it. The cubano sandwich was full of pork and a large portion. We got the garlic fries with it and they were crispy. My favorite was the lechon asado. The pork was very tender and moist. It paired well with their rice. I also loved the plantains. I would definitely come back again!

This place has very good flavors. Service is good, but I feel like our server was always in a rush. I also believe that is over priced for what it is. Patio area is double the size compared to inside area. It's very cold even with heaters.

We were visiting this area and this restaurant was highly recommended. We went last Saturday night and they had 2 awesome performers. Glad that I made a reservation so we could sit outside where the performers were. Our server was attentive though he was busy. The food and drinks were delicious.

Recently came with family and enjoyed our time. There was notice of a 3% charge on the bill after we paid. My family asked about it because we didnt see anything up so we asked the server and he didnt know where to find the 3% charge information. So we paid and all was fine, my family was in the parking lot catching up almost at the end of the parking lot by building 833 and so the server asked about the information while inside cause he didnt know and walked over through the parking lot to pointed it out on the menu in small font.

The food was delicious, our waitress Gabby was excellent and the ambiance was perfect. The saxophonist Herbie Kae was amazing! Perfect date night !

I finally got a chance to visit Baracoa Cuban Restaurant in Palmdale, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with lively Cuban music playing and a vibrant energy in the air. The staff greeted us right away and made us feel like family. We started with an appetizer recommended by the waiter. We told him it was out first time there. It came with empanadas, which were golden, crispy, and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I had the Ropa Vieja,Lecchon and pollo ensendido. It was absolutely delicious--tender shredded beef in a rich, savory sauce, served with perfectly cooked black beans, rice, and sweet plantains. Every bite tasted fresh and authentic. The drinks were just as impressive. I ordered a berrymojito my husband ordered the Cuban club and they were refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet. The alcohol bottles they have are some good ones. Additive free choices. This is a plus. Service was on point. Our server checked in just enough without hovering, and the food came out hot and timely. The live music added an extra layer of fun and you could tell people were really enjoying themselves. This is definitely one of those places that makes you feel like you've traveled somewhere special without leaving the Antelope Valley. Whether you're coming for dinner, drinks, or just the atmosphere, Baracoa is worth every penny. I'll definitely be coming back!

This business has a nice cozy feel for dinner. The staff greets you upon entering. The server immediately took our drink order and gave us a moment to decide on food. Once taking our order we waited about 10-15 minutes for our food. Once our food got to our table the server no longer came to check on us until it was time for the bill. PS- Bring cash as they charge a credit card fee. Ropa Vieja Plate- 8/10 The beef meat tasted a bit sweet. I did like the fact that this plate came with a few pieces of platanos fritos. I wanted to try congri with my food but, when my plate was brought to my table it was a simple rice and beans instead of the congri. Cuban Sandwich- 9/10 Great flavor and I like that you can get a choose your side (platanos fritos)with the sandwich. Mojo Fries- 8/10 This has a lot of garlic but I wish the mojo taste was more present. Jupina- 10/10 If you like pineapple soda this is a must. Marilem's Flan- 10/10 Very rich and smooth. The portion was good enough to split with 3 people.

Food is flavorful and fun and thoughtful, not just because of the flavor but because they keep in mind people who have Allergies like celiac or gluten intolerance, fun place great music and amazing drinks too, oh and the staff are full of life and lots of fun love them, to top it off they remodeled the place so it's just become that much more interesting!!

The food was delicious! We ordered the appetizer which comes with everything and everything was delicious! I had the red sangria and that was also very delicious! My niece and sister both had the Guava juice, then i ordered the ropa vieja plate which was very tasty and a huge serving. My niece ordered the carne frita plate which it too was outrageously delicious. We had so much delicious food and the service was great as well. Our server was on point throughout! The ambiance is very nice! It's a very well appointed restaurant with a warm and comfortable feel! I would definitely return to Baracoa and highly recommend it!

My wife and I LOVE BARACOA! Not only is their food + drinks are amazing but the service is outstanding! JUAN has been our server every time and HE IS AWESOME!!! His energy is always nice and welcoming. He recommends some really great drinks and food! The ambiance of restaurant is very vibey inside + outside patio is very cozy and has fires to keep you warm!

Searched best food in Palmdale while there for work and this came up. Incredibly good food! I had the Bistec de Pollo and it was the best grilled chicken I've ever had. The rice and beans were amazing and the tostones were perfection after I added a bit of salt. I'm not a huge fan on plantains but their's were really good. I had a chilled coffee drink recommended by the our waitress, and it was dynamite, too. I took off one star because it was hot as sin inside the restaurant. Apparently, the AC was out and it was near unbearable. Our waitress was super sweet though, and very knowledgeable about the menu.

We celebrated my brother's 65th birthday today and everything we had was delicious! Our server, Gabriela was very sweet and attentive. Even though the place was busy, she really took care of us. Thank you, Gabby! For meals, we had the Empanadas de Carne and Empanadas de Pollo, both were 10/10. We also had Baracoa Cubano and Ropa Vieja Sandwiches with garlic fries and fried platanos - they were 10/10. My sister had chicken dish (see picture) and it was really good too! 10/10 For drinks, the birthday celebrant (and my sister) had the Ube and Rum cocktail, and I had a cappuccino - they were 10/10! Great atmosphere, great service and great food. I will be back for sure and next time, I'll bring my (picky) husband. I know he will like this place!

I've had authentic Cuban food before but, never like this. The food presentation passed the test. Each dish packed a ton of flavor. And they are not shy about food portions. Which I absolutely loved. If you're looking for a date night or just a nice casual eat, this is the spot. They have indoor seating and a beautiful outdoor patio. On first Saturdays of the month, they have live music. If you can't decide on what to eat, the papas rellenas are to die for! The empanadas were okay. Bland to taste. Hardly any protein inside. The ceviche was flavorful and amazing but definitely an appetizer sized dish. For the main dish, I recommend the ropa vieja (meat) for that real authentic Cuban dish. There is also a similar dish called pollo encendido (chicken). You have the option to make it spicy as well. The spicy level is intermediate. All cubanos are tasty as well. For cocktails, I got a canchanchara. Absolutely amazing!!!! I had a few and it def hit the spot. lol. My server Vidal was very attentive and explained every dish I got. He had good recommendations. Most importantly, he never let my drinks or empty plates sit there. I appreciate it when my table gets bussed, as empty dishes take up table space. It's a shame they are located so far away. They would make a killing in a metropolitan area! I did not like how they tried charging for extra house sauce after dropping some good mula $. Other than that, 10/10. I will be back!!!!

The food and coffee were authentic and very tasty. The service and ambiance were wonderful. It's a gem of a treasure in Palmdale. I'll be back!

carlos & his team are amazing. this is my third time eating here & ill continue coming back. beautiful location, nice music & overall a great environment. i highly recommend the havana bites for an appetizer, the baracoa cubano sandwich, flan & coffee. all super delicious!

Yes, please never disappointed... If you get your server, Fidel, he is amazing... Super attentive, accommodating, and knows what you need before you even ask... I had the oxtails for lunch today. Although they were pricey, I've always wanted to try them. The portions were very sufficient. And I took home my lunch. I tried get something off the menu different each time I come. And there's nothing bad on that menu. I also like the way they change up the menu frequently, so you can get a full idea of what their chefs can do if you don't know what to drink, you can always ask Fidel, and he will pick your brain a little bit, to give you an idea of what you think you might like.

We've lived in the area for three years. We've passed by this restaurant several times. We never knew the restaurant was here in town. I'm glad we went and enjoyed a night out. The food was excellent and the customer service was great.

We are given a gift certificate. So we decided to try it. Their beef empanadas are the bomb! Wish they would make dessert ones. Very nice atmosphere. The staff is very attentive. Chicken dish was as amazing!

Been wanting to try this place for a while! We got the food to go, the employee over the phone was really nice and patient we asked a few questions, we got a Sampler appetizer plate which comes with platanos, empanadas, potato ball & yuca fries, everything was delicious!! We got 2 cubano sandwiches, cubano sandwich & Baracoa sandwich and oh my super delicious!! Definitely need to go back and eat there! They have indoor and outdoor seating and the whole restaurant looks like a good vibe!

This restaurant is a hidden jem in Palmdale. I always saw the restaurant on Yelp but never when to try it. We recently decided to go for dinner & we were amazed with how good the food was. We can't believe we waited so long to try it. The following weekend we returned for lunch. For dinner, we had tour of Cuba which comes with three meats. This plate is enough for 2 people. It's perfect to try out different items if it's your first time. On our second visit, we had lunch on the patio. It was nice to sit outside near the fire pit. We both had sandwiches. My wife had the sandwich de pollo & I had the baracoa cubano. They were both delicious. The staff is so friendly and very informative. They also make you feel welcomed which is so nice. The restaurant is fairly small but they have a big patio. I would suggest making reservations for dinner. We didn't make reservations there we weren't able to sit in the patio the first time. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Finally got a chance to eat here, Definitely not disappointed. The food was amazing. We ordered the Havana Delights sampler, (delicious and generous) the Cubano Sandwich, and the Ropa Vieja Sandwich, both well worth the price paid. We will return here often.

Went to Baracoa for lunch and it was absolutely amazing! Outdoor seating has a lovely ambiance and service was fast. Oxtails were falling off the bone!

Nice lunch menu we had salad, sandwich and crispy beef. Everything was very good and service was quick and friendly. Choice of inside or covered patio which is just beautiful and handles larger groups well.

Quite possibly my new favorite Cuban restaurant! The restaurant is pretty compact and filled up very quietly but very much worth the wait! The decor of the restaurant is very timeless and definitely seems like the local hidden gem. Their jumbo shrimp ceviche is so delicious paired with mango and coconut cream! I loved pairing it with plantains and their side sauces of the habanero and green sauce. Their sandwich was also very delicious though little hard to bite as the bread itself was hard. If I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely come back for both those items!

Shout out to Vidal! He is an amazing bartender with lots of knowledge! Me and my husband came here for drinks and he executed each one perfectly while navigating us through the drink menu as well as putting us on game for some other "secret menu" items! Definitely ask for him! You won't be disappointed! We will be back again! This is one of our favorite places to grab drinks!

First time here, we were bored from always same restaurants...so we tried....and we really LOVE IT...!!! Place is small, feels like a family dinner, service is excellent... all associates attentive and very friendly. Music and ambience is great. Food is awesome... best Cuban food since I was in Yucatán, ropa vieja, lechón asado, plátanos fritos, frijoles, rice... and the drinks are amazing. I cannot say how delicious was the guava cheesecake empanada, just epic. Everything was delicious...!!! Thx..!! We will be back for more..!!! Can't wait to recommend it to family and friends...!!!

Our family and friends enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Baracoa last night. The food is incredible, I highly recommend the empanadas, ceviche and ox tail. Each dish was full of flavor and the service was top notch. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and modern. We brought our kids and felt comfortable, but I can see this as a wonderful date night spot for many. They have a cool bar, and patio which makes it feel young and classy. Do not leave without trying the flan!! scrumptious and best I've EVER had.

Every time we come here it never disappoints me! The consistency here is held to a high standard. I love the new patio in the front, the staff here is so friendly and have great memories, it makes you feel like your home! Now to the FOOD, BEST CUBAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD!! I never liked ceviche, but there is phenomenal! The Steak with Garlic and onions on top is out of this world! The Empanadas with the pickled onions and there special sauce was so good I forgot to take a picture, I was so excited to eat! My favorite restaurant to go in the AV!

Came in from a long day of driving. Even if you don't usually drink much, you owe it to yourself to enjoy either of the special Cuban cocktails on the menu; definitely the finest crafted adult beverages I've had in years. My wife loved the Sangria as well. The food was very meat-centric, but the Cuban sampler gave us a chance to sample the beef, pork and chicken. All the seasonings were different and delicious; I would have to say that the chicken stood above. Maybe my favorite part of the entire experience though was the live music on a Saturday night. Great rapport with the full restaurant. Happy memories!

I stopped in after visiting the spa next door and had a wonderful interaction with the staff and management. It was my first time trying the Cuban Coffee, and I was pleasantly surprised. The rope viejo is always delicious and one of my favorites. I am grateful to Maria for all her attention and help. We will return in the future because of her.

This was our first time here. The food and the atmosphere was more than we could've expected however what really made my experience amazing was our service from Juan. He was polite and very charismatic and extremely professional. His service definitely made us want to return.
