We went after lunch, so we had to go to the counter to order. Staff was friendly, food was presented beautifully. My date’s shrimp meal was excellent, my Macita bowl was pretty good. Loved the atmosphere!

Nice Cuban dining experience in downtown Milwaukee. The restaurant has pleasant decor with soaring ceilings and a stylish bar. It was very quiet when we ate on a Saturday evening (only one other group dining). We had empanadas and ham/cheese croquettes for an appetizer then the Miami burger (was requested medium rare but was medium) and the Cuban shrimp plate (great guacamole and rice with it). Service was prompt and friendly.

Great as always! Windows were open and it wasn’t too bad even with all the smoke outside. Loved the food of course.

I never knew about this place till today. The food was really good and the prices were very reasonable. When you first walk in / up they have the menus, you can take the menu with you and sit anywhere you want. Once you’re ready to order you come back up and they’ll take your order. The food comes our very quick and warm. I had the biztec sandwich with french fries, yuka fries, and plantains. The food was delicious!

I stumbled on this place by accident. I had planned to go somewhere else, but it was closed when I got there. Saw this place from across the street and so happy I went there! Great place and fantastic food!

Very close to our hotel, the Pfister. Wife and I figured why not try Cuban food in Milwaukee? Ordered a Beef and a Spinach Empanada with our mojitos, raspberry for me and passion fruit for her. Both drinks were very good and we enjoyed both empanadas. Both had bowls, rice with different type of protein and a vegetable. She had Vaca (shredded beef), I had Pollo Asado (chicken). We sampled each other dish and agreed chicken was the best. It was prepared with a chipotle sauce and gave it great flavor. Beef was good although if it came with chimichurri, it would put that dish on top in our opinion. Atmosphere was lively but just a tad to loud to hear my wife. Maybe it’s just me getting old.
