May 10-2022 ~. My husband and I were looking for a nice mom and pop Cuban restaurant for breakfast . This gem popped up. Read fact at the end of my note !!!
I told my husband this the kind of place I wanted .
Low key , really not much to the cafe in itself . But we love to find places like this to also help small business in this difficult Economic times .
The chef is the cook and also the waiter .
Love his Cuban accent . He is a hard worker . You can see into the kitchen . Bathroom was clean . Café con leche is super strong be very ready for that 😂.
This is a place for the locals absolute . I will def come back here for lunch . Also breakfast is served ALL DAY .
Come ready to meet Humberto who like I said cooks and Serves you.
Little fact :Humberto told me that the plaza they are in will be demolished to build apartments . He has been there for 21 years . He was a bit sad when he told me . My heart broke . He will prob be there until the end of the year . So. Head up there when you are in town and give him a try . In his business cards he has his contact info . So I plan to contact him . Hopefully they reopen somewhere else . Food is cheap so give them extra tip.
If you have been watching Johnny Deep trial , they guy vaping while giving his testimony well Humberto has that kind of character 😂. He is so funny

Such an awesome vibe. Small town feel with what feels like regular groups of locals hanging out. We came from Colorado with the goal of finding the best Cuban sandwich here. Yelp lists this place as #7 for that currently, but dang this is good! Super fast and kind service too. Will return if we're ever back in the area.

Good little family owned Cuban restaurant. Same owner for 18 years. Both the Owner and staff are very friendly. Pricing is very reasonable. I usually get the Cuban sandwich or one of the daily specials. Give it a try.

Absolutely love this place!! My boyfriend used to come here religious every Saturday... now that we are on the Keto Diet it’s a cheat meal once a week. I’m Cuban and I can attest that the food is authentic and fresh! Though the surround area may be sketchy to a few we’ve never had an issue. The owner is super nice and a hard worker... I believe his wife cooks and they’re a great team and are running an amazing authentic Cuban restaurant!

Living in Tampa for 25+ years my wife and I know good Cuban food. Holy moly, this place does it. Maybe one of my favorite Cubans ever. Brushes the top of the hot, crusty Cuban with some sort of garlic butter. The gentleman running the place... It was just him and his dad running it, love that. Friendly, simple, quick. Had to come back for breakfast and get breakfast sandwiches on Cuban bread with cafe con leche - best way to start a day. They're doing it traditional... And they're doing it right

Humberto and Flor are the best! They have been in the same location for years and the food is always on point. My spot to grab the best Cuban coffee in town. Highly recommend!
Ashley Rodriguez
An all around amazing experience at this location. Customer service was beyond amazing, and the food is DELICIOUS. Surrounding restaurants always run out of empanadas but Tropical cafe had them with no
Issues. Highly recommended!

I ate the " Cuban Sandwich" and it was awesome 👌 I recommend that you get the " hot sauce". The owner is on the spot cooking and interacting with customers!!
It's a cool spot and as OG as it can get !!

I have come here a couple of times in the past and currently eating the Cuban regular, by far the best Cuban sandwich I have had in years. I have Cuban family members and friends who make this sandwhich on the regular, this on here is amazing!

Best Cuban food in Fort Lauderdale. Yes it's a dive but it's real and I've been going there for almost 20 years.
Brian Place
Been years since my last visit and happy to report the food is still consistent and great. Always try to make my way here every time I get to Fort Lauderdale.

Our food was delicious and staff was very friendly. I had the chicken breast that came with rice, beans and plantain(i opted for a tostone) my husband had the vaca grits with a plantain. I think it might have been the best chicken I've ever had! Defiinitelt worth the drive from Jacksonville on our way to Key West
