Aaron HarrisApril 21, 2013use to be a server web I worked here...love the variety of food and the brief informational about the 1950's and the artist work!!!
The News & ObserverAugust 2, 2012The Cuban sandwich is a variation on a popular classic in owner Mary Morabito's hometown of Tampa: roast pork, ham, salami, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and mayo on grill-pressed Cuban bread. Read more
Steven JacksonDecember 6, 2015I really enjoy the live music and some of the dishes. A friendly lay back place for people to gather with good friends.
Beci MarkijohnMay 23, 2014Try their mojito. It's awesome. Ask to add strawberry puree, it's even better.
Philip VJune 5, 2011The chicken sandwich may not have been the worlds best but it may be in the top 5. Service was a bit slow but there was a Bulls game going on and they were pretty busy.
Kendall TMarch 8, 2013Dinner was just ok, but the chocolate cake was outstanding! Come on Thursday nights for salsa dancing!
allisonNovember 30, 2014Had Roja Stew, spicy Chicken Empanadas & Papa Rellenos. Enjoyed. Will come back.
Can never go wrong with the fried green beans. Blue martini nice change from my usual mojito.
Rich KingMarch 9, 2013Also.. If you come in expecting to get a great appetizer with the foursquare special... You only get ones less than $6.
Matt BrewerMay 18, 2013Amazing food, but the place always feels understaffed. Servers are polite but frazzled. Order a simple drink if you want it quickly.
Tonya EvansSeptember 28, 2016She left then came back and said they won't let us substitute the missing sides with salads but will give a discount for our meal.
The Tres Leche cake is WONDERFULLY RICH and free with dinner checkin. Their guacamole is the only one I like in the area! Love this venue :-)
Michael HuberJanuary 12, 2015Good gluten free options. Decent place to have a meal prior to going over to DPAC.
Diane AntonelliDecember 8, 2016Decent food, but nothing spectacular. Do not care for the nachos. Liquid cheese & more chips than anything else. Convenient if you're going to DPAC, but service is hit or miss. Sometimes very slow.
Leonard KellyOctober 10, 2011Stone crab bisque was fantastic but the half sandwich could have used some more meat. 4 of 5 stars. I would eat here again.
- Rich KingMarch 9, 2013Won't let you use the foursquare check in special with a restaurant.com gift card. They tell you it's a coupon.
Tamara StraughnJune 25, 2013The "Hostess", Barbara, is an rude insufferable bitch an for the life of me I can't imagine why the owner wants her to be the very first person his patrons have contact with.
Johnny WilsonSeptember 6, 2011Awesome revolutionary decor, cheap but good food. I wasn't impressed with the drinks though - relatively expensive and stingy on the alcohol
- The food is amazing! However, the service hasn't been that great the last couple of times I've gone :(
Arkarian XerxesAugust 30, 2011If u use the four square free appitizer or desert be aware its up to six dollars so be careful
Oris WDecember 4, 2011The Flan is pretty authentic. Not overly sweet & firm. The Ropa Vieja was also authentic tasting.
Michael GreeneSeptember 22, 2012Drinks were decent, but the service was pretty bad. Starting the introduction by outlining all of the things on the menu you don't have anymore doesn't leave a great impression.
Gretchen MurphyMarch 13, 2011The chocolate rebel cake is delicious! And big enough for 3 people to split!
Christine VandiverMarch 8, 2011Try the fried green beans with chipolte sauce. Better than french fries any day!
Stuffed peppedews are delicious. Don't be scared, they aren't hot, just yummy.
Christopher GenwrightMay 20, 2011The Cuban Sandwich is really good, and my waitress Manita was awesome!
Eric AndersenDecember 9, 2010Great hours! Sun-Thurs 11AM-midnight, Fri/Sat 11AM-2AM…and full menu until close!
Nabarun DasguptaJune 25, 2016Stale chips, oily/vinegar gazpacho, and downhill from tapas. I know restaurants are experience goods, but I didn't even want to pay the food was so bad!
Pam ☕️ OApril 19, 2015Ropa vieja was a disappointing dish. Don't get it unless you like a scoop of meat with about 3 cups of white rice.
