    Friendly and helpful staff. Our sandwiches were so delicious with the seasoned fries. A wonderful surprise. We were driving to St. Augustine and we Googled for a restaurant not far from 95. We're so glad we did. 👍👍👍👍

    Great food, good service, price is average, atmosphere is ok. They often have a person playing a guitar and singing, but it's at a perfect level and you can still talk with each other.

    The food was great, the service friendly and quick, ambiance was fun, but not loud. The owner stopped by, after we ate, and engaged the entire table in a fun and relatable conversation. Very much will I bookmark and make it a point to stop-by again, next time we visit. The chuleta Kan Kan(tomahawk pork chop) and the cola encendida (oxtails) were AMAZING!!!

    Food was borderline disgusting, beer was warm and you had to beg for a napkin. We left our complete plates except what we tasted and they didn’t even offer to remove one plate from the bill out of curiosity! Please save your selves and don’t bother!

    Authentic dishes and good service

    Really great atmosphere The lights are not super bright which is great if you have sensitive eyes definitely got authentic Cuban Spanish music and the food is very tasty

    Visiting my friend and decided we wanted some good Cuban food. Big mistake. Spent $37 for paella that tasted like rica-a-roni with some shell fish thrown in. My friend kept looking for the waitress to refill his ice tea and it took a while.. $84 later I was still hungry. Lived in South Florida for 53 years with great Cuban food everywhere. This place is a joke. If you crave good Cuban food look elsewhere.

    Amazing little spot just 2 miles off I-95! Cuban food with a mix of Puerto Rican flavors, and everything we had was delicious. They even had a guitarist taking requests, which made the whole experience even better. Great food, great staff, we will definitely be back!

    This was my second time in a Cuban Restaurant and I wanted to try something different so I ordered Tripleta, ham, pork, steak, mayo, ketsup, tomatoes, lettuce and potato sticks. It was very messy and surprisingly tasteless. People also ordered the Cuban Burger and we're less than impressed.

    Great food and service family friendly atmosphere authentic cuban dishes and music

    I ordered the mofongo with garlic shrimp, but unfortunately the plantains were burnt and lacked flavor overall. I also noticed a 4% upcharge per item when paying with a credit card, which wasn’t clearly reflected in the menu since those appear to be cash prices. My husband ordered the churrasco with rice and beans, and it also came out with very little flavor. Overall, the food didn’t live up to the price point. We’ve had much better Cuban food elsewhere for less. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

    I got a side of rice and beans. $6.25 for a small container of rice and $6.25 for a small container of beans. $12.50 for a small side of rice and beans! Rice was dry, beans were mediocre and mostly liquid. I called back to let them know. The girl who answered the phone said, "I dont know what to do about it. Your best bet is just to keep it." What a garbage response. Don't trust the prices that you see on the menu either. The worker told me that the prices are wrong. I will NEVER eat there again

    Hands down the absolute best cuban food you will locate in our area. The flavors are spot on and everything is made with care and perfectly seasoned. The warm toasted bread is everything.

  • March 13, 2026

    Absolutely amazing food. I love the vaca frita with white rice and beans. Their mojitos are to die for 🤤

    Nice cuban restaurant...

  • March 10, 2026

    We went at 5:30 for our dinner and our waitress was horrible with an attitude. She kept trying to leave the table as we were ordering, gave us attitude about asking about complimentary chips but never brought us the bread she said she would. Slow service, bad waitress, food was okay - but will never be back. As a waitress, you should give your people the best service possible no matter what without an attitude and that’s the opposite of what she did. We accidentally spilled a drink and rudely told my fiance to get up and move so she could get below his feet. No manners.

    We stopped here traveling from Miami to Orlando. The food was sooooo good! We ordered the Ceviche and Ropa Vieja! Even the bread was superb! The onion rings were also great! Yarlene was our server. She did an excellent job. Definitely making this our stop whenever we make the drive!

    My boyfriend and I go to Sebastian twice a week and we always try to get there. This time, we got there and we were not disappointed. I had the pernil, black beans and tostones. My boyfriend had the moon go. The absolute best food ever! Our server was a young man and unfortunately, I can't remember his name, but he was very attentive and funny. Also, it was inexpensive and we got alot of food for an excellent price. Please, if you haven't been, go to Las Palmas. Well worth it!!
