“I saw the great reviews and had to try this restaurant. The waitress was so pleasant, and the service was speedy. We tried the famous Cubano, and it didn't disappoint. The pork was tender, and the ham had tons of flavor. The bread was perfectly toasted, and all came together nicely. The platanos had the perfect texture and sweet taste, which I would recommend with the Cubano. The white rice and black beans were just ok.“
“First time visiting this restaurant and it certainly won't be our last. The food was amazing, we ordered the octopus appetizer and I had the paella and my wife the skirt steak. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the portions were very generous. We started with the house Sangria and capped the night off with cheesecake and coffee. We spent almost 3 hours in this little gem and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you to the host and our servers for a wonderful evening, and we'll see you soon.“
“I love enjoying Cuban breakfast specialties when I can get them, so when visiting the Las Olas area and seeing this place very close, I went in for some empanadas for breakfast.They have croquettes, empanadas, savory pastries, and full breakfasts, including sandwiches, even Cubanos. On my visit, I opted for a spinach and a chicken empanada, a chorizo and cheese croquette, and a beef pastry. I also ordered their spicy sauce, which was a mayo-based sauce with hardly any spice to it.The empanadas were really good, with the spinach being my favorite. The beef pastry was decent and the croquette was nice too.Service was friendly. The place was steamy hot on the morning I went, like the AC was broken. I’d definitely return when in the area though, as they have so much to try.“
“First time at this place; the restaurant was clean, the food was outstanding, and the waiter (Brandon) was very attentive. Then again, there were only two or three other tables seated. Awkward ambiance for the first five+/- minutes because there was no music playing and the TVs were off. Finally, the music came on and the dining experience improved ten-fold. Meanwhile, the TVs were never turned on. Not a big deal, in fact... might even be cool to have a place with no TVs, where people are forced to interact with one another. But I digress, if you choose to have televisions in your establishment, keep them on; there's a lot you can do with them, not just have it on TV programming. Anyways, this place is absolutely fantastic and has the potential to be one of the area's best restaurants. I'll definitely be back!“
“Guys guys guys, this is an absolute must. If you're in the area, definitely go to this place. Pass up all the Vicky's Bakery cause this is the place for Cuban food and baked goods. Literally everything here is amazing. Service was very good, atmosphere is a little outdated but the food, baked goods and service picks up its slack. I will definitely be returning.“
“I get what everyone says about the food.Caffe con leche love it! the steak sandwich really fulfilled my appetite. The service was welcoming , the only thing was they brought the check while the place was empty it kinda made me feel like I was kicked out of the place. I don't think I will ever go back.thats just my personal feelings about it.“
“03/17/24 We went for late lunch at Don Pepe's restaurant and oh boy I'm so glad we did, the food was delicious, and the right size portions. Ms. Kelly, our server, was very attentive, courteous, and kind; it was a terrific experience, and the next time we will bring all our family to have a great time. Thank you for such a nice weekend experience.“
“My first time here. Small and cozy place to enjoy breakfast and lunch. I walked in and placed an ordered for Vaca Frita. She didn't hand me a receipt. In my mind how will you know who ordered what? She did take my name. I asked for a receipt she said email or text. Others are coming in and there were two ahead of me. I see them place the food on a stand behind the counter. She (different person than who took my order) asked me my name and hands me my food but again, the receipt that was attached she ripped and tossed. I get home and it's not what I ordered. It was delicious, but it wasn't what I wanted or ordered. Since I was on lunch break I couldn't return nor did I have to time for a remake of my order. Very flavorful and I would return. However, I think receipts should be given and matched so this doesn't happen again. I added the peppers (pikiliz).“

“I was a solo diner for brunch and Sandra D made feel so welcomed. My crab and asparagus omlette was delicious and the homemade hot sauce the very nice hostess brought me out was out of this world. ( my husband makes his own hot sauce) When I am back in Las Olas I wil visit this place again and I highly recommend it.“
“For years my family has been coming to eat at this excellent Cuban restaurant. We come every year from New York and the first place we come to eat after we land is at this beautiful restaurant with an excellent staff that makes you feel very welcome and has become part of my family . The food is amazing and delicious and they serve a lot of food for the price. I love Ely she is the manager of the restaurant and she always has a beautiful smileWhen she greets her guests. Thank you for the outstanding service and hospitality.Parking: Great availability!“
“La Bamba is one of the highlighted Mexican restaurants in the area. Always busy, and they keep good quality food and service. Enjoy getting serviced by Rita tonight on (3/11/2024). She paid attention to the details of our orders.Parking: Parking is limited on premise, some people park at the bank parking lot.“
“Stopped in for coffee and decided to try a chocolate chip cookie. It's actually a chocolate chunk cookie. Seriously good. The young lady at the counter was very pleasant even though it was her first day and needed some help from her coworkers.“
“Very good Peruvian food. It is far from Boca Raton but the food has always been good. The Aji de Gallina, chicken in a sauce, and the fish dishes have always been very good. The Lomo Saltado is really good also and the Causa de Pollo and Tuna is great with the Aji de Amarillo sauce. Worth the drive!!!“
“Today I visited a Santa Barbara cafe that left me thoroughly impressed. The star of the menu was undeniably the ox tail dish – a true culinary masterpiece. The meat was tender, succulent, and bursting with rich flavors that transported me straight to the heart of Havana. The cafe's authentic atmosphere, paired with the friendly staff, made the dining experience even more enjoyable. A must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful taste of Cuban cuisine.“
“We really enjoyed our meal! Cool night so I had a tasty soup, caldo gallego. My entree was the camarones al ajillo, succulent and flavorful. My husband had the lechon. Loved it. Bread was great too. Service was charming and efficient. We almost went back the next day! lol.Parking: Busy strip mall but lots of spaceKid-friendliness: Kids can be happyWheelchair accessibility: Looks wheelchair accessible“
