Came in after finding a high review on Google and was definitely impressed! We got the Latino Nachos and the brussel sprouts gave it a great flavor we’ve never had before. The Plant based nachos were also very good. Chimmichuri parmesan wings were flavorful and cooked well. We stopped in during a slow time, but they have great specials and Happy Hours and would come back if we’re in the area.

This was the cutest spot! I came with my crew for happy hour and it did NOT disappoint. The prices were unbeatable, the food and drink selection were great and the taste of the food was A1! The food came out fast and the drinks were good too. The frozen drinks are pre- made but I liked mine (I had the margarita); they offer sangria and other drinks as well. The atmosphere was so nice and the music selection was great; definitely will be visiting again when I move to Tampa next month!

This place is such a vibe! I absolutely loved everything about this place! The service was phenomenal and the food came out very timely and it was so delicious! We didn’t leave a crumb! We had the traditional French toast and the plant based chorizo omelette with tater tots as our side! We are planning to come back and explore more options on the menu!

This place never misses. The Cuban selection of food is delish, they have an interesting selection of tacos (more of the americano type, not authentic Mexican) but still so tasty. Their frozen margs hit! Their servers are always super helpful and attentive. Lately I’ve even been leaning more towards Luv Child than my original staple of Green Lemon. Awesome spot!

Great choice for my birthday celebration! The hostesses made an extra effort to accommodate my large party. The service was “royal”, constantly checked on our party. Received a birthday shot. Will be back for a girl luncheon. Place is A1.

Such good food and vibes. Everything we had was better than the dish before and the drinks were great. Wasn’t a fan of the dessert selection and would’ve hoped they had cortadito instead of just espresso but it was not a deal breaker. Our waiter (forgot his name, sorry) was amazing and knew the menu inside out which helps when you can’t decide. Definitely going back!

This place is super cute, bohemian meets modern Chic vibes. It’s def latin cuban inspired food with an American twist. The wait was about 25min on a Sunday around 1 for 2people and we sat outside. The food was delicious and the drinks refreshing. I would def try this place again as they did have a few options to try.
