I’d describe this place as a hole in the wall. Super intimate restaurant.
We started with the chorizo and cheese platter: just as it sounds, with toast points. Yummy. The chorizo is tasty but not spicy.
My sister and I had Cubans. Very flavorful, but a little dry. She got beans and rice, I got yuca fries (serving size is exactly five yuca fries). The beans were great, same for the yuca. My wife got the pesto chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. It came with plantains which were really tasty once salted (I’m a salty-food lover).
I enjoyed the restaurant and the ambiance. I’d return.
Presentation:Good
Service:Good
Taste:Excellent
Great little spot to sort of "get away"and catch your breath. Even though it is in the middle of historic St Augustine. Food was excellent as they were willing to make me a sandwich À la carta and it was excellent.
Decor: Good
The most delicious Cubans! Also had a sangria that was very refreshing. Didn't have a chance to try the Cuban with the sweet bread as they were sold out... Maybe next time.
We had breakfast here and it was wonderful, very sweet lady served us. She explained the Cuban dishes. We had omelette's our way fantastic and quick.. My husband loved the coffee. Small very welcoming. Will definatly go again.
Awesome place... services was great the fat omelet is to die for.
Everyone's A. Critic
+4.5
For a very long time I have been salivating to get back here! Living 60 miles away is near to torture. It took me far too long to decide, but I went with their famous Media Noche (Mid Night) pressed sandwich. Yum-Awesome! With the fun and lively music and staff, this place is a mood setter and date night perfect fit.
Highly recommended, great food, atmosphere haven.
YES!! This is the spot for best Cuban food and service. We ordered the Guajiro and Frita...wow. I'm Puerto Rican and being that I'm pregnant I've been craving well made Hispanic food. This satisfied my craving plus more. My husband specially loved his plate, the Guajiro and the homemade lemonade was awesome.
Good Cuban sandwiches. Quick. Should have a higher rating.
I loved it! The food is great and there is lots on the menu.
I had the veggie Cuban, a friend had the Frida burger/Cuban, and famous gijarda (?) omelette. The food was very good but I was also disappointed with the service!! Management: CRACK DOWN on your servers or hire more! There were 3 people in the restaurant during our visit. Our table, and the table next to us, BOTH had to ASK for refills, the check, and boxes for leftovers. You all have potential, get it together!!!!!
This was a cozy place along Aviles St. The food was good, we enjoyed the out door seating as well. The sandwiches we ordered were better than what we had from 2 places on St. George Street. We would not say it was the best Cuban food, but it was better than the ones we had in the area.
This place is has the best Cuban breakfast sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of sinking my teath into. The food here is so good that i have faild once again to take a picture before eating. The flavor of the food dances throughout this restaurant so you know the food is awesome. 5 stars for this place start to finish.
Escape the crowds over to peaceful Aviles Street and watch horse carriages stroll by with a glass of sangria. When I write reviews for restaurants, I usually haven't tried everything on the menu, but I do know the Fish Cuban with Curry has been consistently amazing here. The service is great, and this place is casual, pet-friendly, relaxing, not overpriced, and there's tables inside and outside. I really enjoy sitting out on the street when the weather suffices. I have lived in St. Augustine for over a decade now and as a local I really like this non-touristy, affordable option.
Unusually good food makes up for prices that are a tad high. The Cuban sandwich is one of the best and is not dry (unlike many others). The Yuca fries are incredible as are the black beans and rice. Cuban coffee is awesome too. Nice little spot to relax in the heart of the old city!
Definately a favorite for me, and probably my go-to place for a casual meal. I have never had a bad experience here, whether that be with food or service. In fact, every time I go, their genuinely kind and friendly staff really makes my day. Their location is beautiful, and I always recomend taking advantage of the outdoor seating. Their food is very good, though I've only ever ordered off of their breakfast menu. I have no idea where they get their eggs, but they taste as fresh as the eggs we used to get from a friends hens (that is to say, fantastic). I usually get the granola bowl, but also recommend the plantains.
Amazing little place. Even during the COVID-19 outbreak, they are great with the social distancing but still not a long wait time. Started the mango mimosa before the food arrived so that’s a little low, lol.
The staff were wonderful and the food was great.
Get there early to ensure that the popular items are not sold out.
Make sure you try the yucca fries and the cilantro vinagarette.
Awesome mango mimosa.
The location was terrific, just down a lovely cobbled street off the main square.
