Went here for a late lunch/early dinner. There was a 20 minute wait, but it was over quickly, and we were shown to a freshly cleaned table. All of the staff we interacted with were polite, kind and altogether pleasant. The food was amazing. We split an appetizer sampler, and a Cuban sandwich. The house sangria was lovely, at a good price.

This is my husbands favorite place to eat! We tried Cuban food for the first time in Miami years ago and now every time we are in Louisville this is our go to restaurant. I have not had anything that wasn’t amazing. The staff is always so friendly and I love going on Saturday nights when they have live music!

The food was great! I had the lechon and it was amazing. I asked for tostones instead of yucca and they were huge, and perfectly fried – crispy outside and soft and delicious inside. Others in the group had the garlic shrimp, empanadas, and the app sampler with a tamal. All of it was really good – even for folks who were not familiar with Cuban food. And there was live music! Great experience – thank you!

We love this place! Food is fantastic. Everything we’ve had was incredible. OMG, the Zarzuela de Mariscos and Coconut Margaritas! And be sure to get a coffee – fresh brewed with frothy cream.

We love this restaurant. The food is stop-you-in-your-tracks delectable and the servers are friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is truly wonderful and the only reason I gave it 4 stars is the volume and presentation of the music.
