⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Rob&Sarah Young
Wow is all I can say. Food is delicious and there is so much of it. The cuban sandwich was the best I ever had and the volcano coffee is fantastic. My son got a giant platter of chicken and steak fajitas and plantains which he loved. My wife's tamale was delicious. If you are in fort Myers or Cape Coral this is a must stop!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mel F
We recently ordered for delivery, and I have to say, it was absolutely amazing! The sandwiches were packed full and bursting with flavor, making each bite a delight. We also indulged in the tres leches dessert, which was incredibly delicious! Definitely a must-try! To top it off, we couldn't resist our favorite guava and queso empanadas, which were just as wonderful as always! Overall, we absolutely love the food here and can't wait to order again! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — J P
My wife and I absolutely love this gem! The food is always delicious, and the service is outstanding. The reasonable pricing means we can tip generously to show our appreciation. Everyone here works hard and is genuinely hospitable — we always feel welcome! I speak only a little Spanish, but when I’m here, I try to flex a bit to show my wife I’m cool. 😂 ¡Dale!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Claudine R.
I had to have Cuban food when in Florida, and there’s a plethora of Cuban restaurants to choose from. And although I’m not into sandwiches, I had to try it. This is a small eatery, and I ordered takeout. The service was fast. And wow, to my surprise, the Cubano was delicious, and the bistec de cerdo “pork steak” was incredible with lots of onions. I’m hooked! The portions are huge and priced reasonably. I’m going to miss this place when I’m back in CT.
