    We went for lunch. The food was delicuous with lots of distinct meat, vegetable, fruit and dessert options. The walls are beautifully decorated and cuban music was tastefully playing in the background. Service was perfect. One of the best meals we had in Key Largo.

    Food was all good , the atmosphere was nice. The bathrooms and restaurant were all clean. The staff Was friendly and attentive. The only issue was the buffet food was only warm most wasn't hot. I did point this put to the staff and was informed they were working on correcting this. I haven't eaten alot of Cuban so I'm not sure if this is Typical or not but the food all seemed to be a very mild seasoning nothing to spicy. This would have been 5 star if all the food at the Buffet was hot. The wives ordered sandwiches to order and both were spectacular.

    We arrived on the 24th of Dec late afternoon, greeted by Ana which made us feel welcomed and at home. Everything tasted great and there was a good variation of Cuban Delights! Thank you for being open! Great value for the price!

    The food was so authentic and delicious and a great deal for the buffet price! I could eat the black beans and fried fish every day. The chef and owner and the restaurant were also so welcoming - I would come back here for food often.

    This restaurant is great!! The only Cuban buffet restaurant for miles and miles. The buffet has a variety of meats, not limited to: ropa vieja, liver, pork foot, gizzard, chicken breast, and fried fish. I recommend the fried fish, as the breading is softer than other breading and the fish is so tender.

    The absolute best Cuban food in the Keys. Buffet style and a huge variety! Tried the fried rice and it was delicious! The Cuban food and soups tasted like it was home cooked! Our waitress Karina was a sweetheart! Check it out!

    We went on a Friday at 5:00 pm. Maybe it was the time, but we didn't see all the food options from the pics. I'm Cuban and was not impressed. They had neither mojito (garlic/onion sauce) not cuban coffee, and the food was not hot. They did have great prices & decor though. We might give them a second chance in the future.

    Small spot that has excellent food. I was skeptical about the buffet but was happy to say the food was fantastic. The service was fast and friendly. Not many drink choices but I think that it just recently opened.
