We had such a wonderful experience, especially with the live performance and the exquisitely delicious food. We loved the authentic Cuban vibe although the noise level at times was a little too high for us to hear one another. Understandably the service was a little slow for such a busy night but our waitress took very good care of us. Overall, an excellent experience and I recommend anyone visiting this area to definitely try this place for dinner.

Everything was excellent as expected. The only caveat is that it was chilly out and the heaters were off. Other than that, I'd recommend to anyone who visits Miami.

Had a reservation. Was seated right away. Staff was super friendly. Our waitress was amazing. She took great care of us. Someone was taking pictures of people at tables and she took her time to take great photos. Food was delicious. Everything came out just how we asked for it. It was my father’s birthday and they sang happy birthday to him, and gave him desert.
