Atmosphere was clean and nice. Service was amazing and everyone super sweet. The food was outstanding and some of the best authentic Cuban we have had. This is a new regular for our house. Just a recommendation, need to get highchairs for children and changing tables in bathrooms for families with little ones but we know they’re new and don’t hold it against them!

We heard about this place from some friends and decided to try it out. Put food delivered in a timely manner, and it became quickly apparent to us that everything was made fresh to order. The Cuban sandwich was amazing, it was a large portion, with great tasting ingredients along with the softest Cuban bread we’ve ever had. We would absolutely recommend everyone to stop by, provecho!!

Finally, real Cuban food in Fernandina. Service was great, and food was legit. Hard to get a good Medianoche outside Miami, and they nailed it. Meat pie had plenty of great meat in it. Cuban coffee that I had while I waited was awesome. Been talking about moving for a while, and now maybe I’ll stay.

Such a great spot. The food is excellent. I had the steak sandwich and my husband had the Cuban, both delicious but steak was best. We also had plenty of croquettes, empanadas and quesitos which were all excellent. Get a pastry over the flan (which was also good) but pastries were better. We also ordered the kids rice and chicken plate, it was perfect. Juicy chicken cut up with white rice and a juice.

I was craving a Cuban sandwich, it was good and the pork was sooo tender. Ask for some Mustard on the side too. Big sandwich, ate half and took other half home. I will go back, this was my first visit. I will try some of the other items too.

Owners wife is super cool! He gave us some free Cuban coffee samples to taste. We had Cubanos and some tostones and they were amazing! Highly recommend checking this place out if you are on Amelia island or the Fernandina beach area. ☀️ ☕️

Went here every day for a week while we were vacationing on Amelia Island. Great food and service! Had just about every pastry and a cubano for lunch. Great coffee as well!

We’ve visited this place twice already and both times have been a great experience. Their Cuban sandwich and the Medianoche are de-li-cious!! This is the real thing!! The chef went to our table and he’s super nice and friendly!

Large and flavorful portions. Counter service was good however they need to get table numbers as yelling out names was not working well.

Met a friend for lunch on a busy brunch/lunch Sunday yet parking wasn’t an issue and food came out quickly. Coffee was good and my El Guajiro sandwich was delicious: juicy, flavorful and amazing bread. Unfortunately, the second visit was not good. Got to go and my Pan con Bistec sandwich was almost inedible because the beef was so tough and the sandwich was dry. My friend’s 904 sandwich was relatively small and unremarkable. Will try again and hope it was as good as the first visit.
