In a strip mall, sat outside. Felt like an office building. Had the cubano, very greasy on the outside. Maybe that is the norm.

Food was amazing! Mojitos are off the chart good!! Highly recommend the sampler appetizer platter. Lechon Asado with Moros and Sweet Plantain sides were very good. Wife had the Chicken Churrasco Salad. Great portions and very tasty. We will definitely be coming back for more.Have the Cuban coffee after dinner. Fantastic. Myriel was fantastic and a great adult drink maker!!

My husband is from Cuba, and we often seek out Cuban restaurants and compare the food. Van Van is definitely one of the best, if not the best, restaurant we have found for authentic Cuban food. It rivals and even surpasses the best in Miami. We shared the croquettes, which were excellent, and a half pitcher of sangria. I had the masitas with maduros and fried yuca, while he had the lechon asado with boiled yuca and tostones. Everything was excellent -- the best we've had. They definitely hit a home run with our meals. Would definitely go back!

I recently moved from Miami to Naples and was in the mood for Cuban food. I’ve always said my grandparents make the best Cuban food, and that is still true but at #2 it is definitely this restaurant. The owner is a young man who is working his tail off to ensure all customers are comfortable and get the best experience. Highly recommend.THE PORK IS A 10/10 and then some!!! Get itTHE FLAN IS A 9.5/10! Delicious

I ordered the Pollo ala Cubana. It was outstanding. I gave it a four-star only because the chicken was skimpy. I would happily pay more for a more generous half-chicken. The wait staff was also exceptional. I will return.
We were very impressed with this restaurant, their mixed drinks are excellent, we tried three of them and loved them all. Their lechon asado and ropa vieja are out of this world. Excellent!
