The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we ordered was full of flavor, incredibly fresh, and very authentic. The steak was cooked perfectly and paired so well with the white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. The creole shrimp was packed with flavor, and the ropa vieja was tender and delicious. Portions were generous, and every dish felt comforting and homemade. And according to my friend… the guys were super hot — including the local sheriffs 😂. Great food and great vibes. Would definitely come back.
A small spot right on the main highway in Marathon with very good food, generous portions, and reasonable prices. Indoor seating is tight, but there’s a more spacious covered patio with picnic tables. We went at 4:30 and ordered takeout at the counter—parking was easier earlier, and it was less crowded. We reheated the food later, and the portions were generous enough for a second meal. We ordered rice and beans and green plantains as our entrée sides—very tasty! Note that a 15% service charge and a 3% credit card fee are automatically added, which felt reasonable given the value of the entrée prices. We’ll be back to try the Cuban sandwich and Cuban coffee!
We had crispy whole yellowtail which is incredibly good. the fish skin was fried to crispy, but the inside remains soft and tender. The atmosphere is not really like a typical “restaurant”, but casual and friendly.
Food was flavorful and big portions. Love the small place feel. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area.
The food was incredible! We had conch fritters and tostones to start. Wow! Then a Cuban sandwich and rice and beans to share for dinner. Outstanding! Then, we had to try a flan, of course. Absolutely amazing! The service was prompt and friendly without being hovering.
Really great food 🤤. Friendly staff. The portions are huge. You get a lot of food for the price
One word..wow! Authentic and every bite delicious! We asked the owner for recommendations and he told us the vaca frita and shrimp creole, white rice with beans, and plantains... just delicious! While we were waiting for our food he brought us some pork rinds that were on the house and it was just delicious with this special sauce. I would recommend this place to absolutely anybody that comes here if we have time we are coming back for certain
We ordered 2 Cubans, bc we heard they are amazing here. And they did NOT fall short of amazing! The perfect amount of meat, cheese, pickles (not too much or too little). The bread was crispy and super soft at the same time! If we lived closer, we'd definitely go back!
This is one of those great little places that you would probably not stop at if the locals didn't tell you about it. The food was outstanding. Their Famous Sandwich, cuban sandwich, could not get better. The Spanish Omelette was a huge portion and very good. The steak on the steak sandwich was a little tough but the flavors were wonderful.
Great little find! In door and outdoor seating, indoor is a little tight and outdoor you’d be at the mercy of Floridas heat and humidity, though much more seating, believe they have benches with nice decor. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great food with really great prices. It’s so hard to find places that aren’t trying to take your arm when ordering out. A lot of times places really can’t justify their prices, either quality not up to par or quantity. This place offers both. Would definitely recommend.
