I wanted to try Cuban food. I was very pleased with my food choices. I got Tinga chicken special, sauteed chicken with plaintains and Cuban mixed sandwich. Price was great and food was delicious. There is plenty of space for dine in. I forgot the names of the girls in the front but they were all very friendly and helpful. Menu is very easy.

Yes please. I didn’t expect much as I wandered into this unassuming strip mall diner. With acronyms like ATW (all the way) to select which condiments you want, to the parking lot chickens, I didn’t expect much. But the sandwiches. OMG. The ATW Cuban was a heavenly triumph. The perfect amount of mayo sauce and the crunchy outside of the roll cooked panini style and they had me. Fountain drinks were nice but the glass bottles coke was an added bonus. The staff was friendly and sheepishly asked if I would like some habanero hot sauce, delivering a modest amount so as to not scorch my face and leave me wondering if I’d been damned to hell. “Should I have it” I asked? Yes please.

Amazing little diner we stopped off while the Tesla was charging at the supercharger. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was filling, tasty and fresh. My guest had the burger. We were both satisfied with our lunch with fountain drinks. Definitely a great option on Big Pine Key next to the grocery store. Roosters in the parking lot cockle-doing away. lol

On the way to key west grabbed lunch after the Bahia state beach park. Got a cubano. Good and filling. definitely hits the spot and gets all of the notes of a cubano. Price is fair and staff is friendly. Worth a stop if you needed a quick bite before you hit up key west.

We had breakfast and enjoyed it. I had Huevos Rancheros, and my wife had a breakfast burrito. Both were good, but a little bland compared to what we're used to. I guess they want to cater to everyone's taste and in their defense, there was hot sauce available. We did think their tortillas were very good. Oh yeah, we also had guava and cheese turnovers...yummy! I only gave a 4 for atmosphere because the seat cushions are old and they serve you with plastic cutlery. Nothing wrong with that, but I can't justify a five compared to everyone else's place settings. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We will be back to try some of their lunch fare!

What a wonderful little cafe! The best Cuban sandwich I have ever had! The family recipe was great. Oh and excellent key lime pie. A definite destination for us next time we visit the Keys.

Food was very good and hot. Fry portions are large and sandwiches are amazing. The employees were so so nice and the atmosphere was calm with good radio music. The prices are very affordable especially for the food quality. Will definitely come back!!
