I went on a father-and-son outing this Saturday and stopped at this restaurant, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit anywhere we liked. We chose the counter and immediately felt welcomed. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive. She offered great suggestions and explained the daily specials, and every recommendation was spot on. She took our order perfectly and the food came out quickly, fresh, and excellently prepared. Not only her, but the entire staff was attentive, helpful, and genuinely pleasant. One moment that really stood out was after I finished my meal and ordered a cafecito. I stepped away briefly to wash my hands, and when I returned, she had thoughtfully placed a saucer over my coffee to keep it warm. That level of attention to detail truly impressed me. I also had the chance to speak with the owner, who was just as attentive and kind. I shared how much we enjoyed both the food and the service. The entire experience made us feel like we were eating at our grandparents’ home—full of warmth, happiness, and genuine family-style treatment. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Cuban Burger spot! Was recommended by a close friend and it did not disappoint! The malteada shake was deliciously paired with the Fritas Tradicional.

We ate here 7 years ago and remembered it being wonderful! We had the opportunity to stop in again and it was just as good if not better than last time. We had the frita, tostones, rice and beans and they blessed us with a flan for my birthday. Service was top notch and food was over the top. And as a bonus, the man himself was there and the kids enjoyed taking a picture with him. We can’t wait to go again.

Ate here a few months ago while killing time waiting to go to the airport and forgot to give them a review. We are from Wisconsin and were told this was the best Cuban food. Server was surprised we knew of the place. Great food and friendly atmosphere. My kids even loved the food. We'll definitely go back when in Miami.

These just might be the best fritas in Miami. I highly recommend it. The tostones were also excellent. The service was good despite it being super busy when we were there. I will be returning for sure.
