I've been trying to get here for a while. I fought the lovely Miami traffic but made it. The place is hard to find. I passed it by. it was night and the area seems dark. Ok now the food was amazing. There was one girl waiting and she did an excellent job by herself. I had the croquettes to start. The ham was velvety smooth and I'm not sure what the sauce was but it was great. Then I had the chulinita. Pulled pork. Really good with the black beans and fried Yuka. Excellent all the way around. I've been watching the dishes on Instagram for a while, trip was well taken

Small and nice place for snack like Cuban / Latin food. We came for an early dinner and got the "disco volador with vaca frita" (and a thousand plantain chips), "croqueta with queso manchego" and the "shrimp tacos". We highly recommend the aioli as a dip to the chips, does make a difference.

We have dined here twice (once last year early May 2022 and then beginning of Feb 2023). This place is our go to spot when we travel to Miami. We stumbled on this lovely restaurant on YouTube when researching places to eat in the Miami area. We are so happy to have eaten here. The service is warm and friendly. Very knowledgeable as well. The food is so good we look back at the photos we took of our meals and drool! We were so lucky to have actually met Mika on our last visit and she’s just as awesome as you could expect. Our friends and family know this is our go to spot when in South Florida. Thank you for everything! From your Canadian crew!! Can’t wait to go here again and try more of this wonderful menu.

I loveeeee this restaurant. I’m Cuban and I love the modern spin of some of the dishes. My favorite is the vaca frita bowl and the flan! Everything I’ve tried tastes delicious I come here weekly.

What a delight, really tasty , a nice twist on Cuban food. You definitely have to try the Platano relleno . That was out of hand so delicious and unique. For sure, I would come back again.

Super nice. I had two tacos - pork and shrimp. The tortillas are super soft, and the tacos have a great size so you can try more than one flavor. Service is a bit slow, but very nice. My colleagues ordered bowls and everything looked so good!! Prices are fair, and you can eat for like 20 dollars. Will come back again for sure

Unique food exploration unlike any other restaurant in South Floida. Great food, not just unique food, backed up by very friendly Chef / Owner and warm welcoming attentive personal service often missing here in Miami. Subtle. sophisticated, modrn room right down to the table service. Comfortable seating and reasonable prices. Easy street parking. We had the smaller of the two Chef's tasting menu and have already planned a return visit with foodie friends.
