I ordered the mofungo with chicken. It was alright, I was hoping that there was some sauce to put on it besides garlic sauce. I enjoyed my mango smoothie it was great with milk. The food portion is great and doesn't break your pockets. I highly recommend it.

Went to a Miami Restaurant for some mofongo a bit after lunch. The place is quite small but there is still plenty of seating. They have menus as well as their menu on a board behind the cash register area. The place is actually pretty loud both from the music that they play but I didn't mind too much. The place makes me feel like I'm back a my local Cuban joint in Miami.
We ordered the cheese mofongo and the guanábana smoothie (soursop) and it was all incredible!! The cheese mofongo had enough garlic and a lot of cheese! I was so happy to find a place that serves cheese mofongo since he most common are definitely pork or chicharrón. The smoothie was pretty tasty and I'd definitely get again. The portion was really big and I shared it with my partner and we were both pretty full.
The main issue with this place is the service. It's a bit confusing as to whether you should order at the counter or sit and wait for the one waitress. This wasn't so bad and we were told to sit and that someone would be with us soon. The service overall was really really slow both to take our order and for the food to come out. I can deal with the food taking a while if it's good (like in this case) but it was just a bit annoying to have to wait to for our order to be taken for that long.
I recommend but I would really suggest ordering to go and taking a walk around and then coming back to pick up your order! Food is really really great! -

Went in here to order a Cuban coffee...its a Cuban restaurant, called Miami, and the woman behind the counter had no idea what I was talking about. I tried explaining to her what a cafe cubano/ cafecito is and she was completely confused. They called themselves a Cafe, they have the machine. They serve coffee but don't know what a Cuban coffee is. I would make it myself at home but its just so different when a white girl makes it. I wanted an authentic Cuban coffee, damnit!
I ended up ordering a cafe con leche, no leche, lots of sugar and she still seemed confused. I pointed to the small Styrofoam cup and asked what drink goes in there and she said "it's called a small". Either she's dumb or she's not really Cuban.
I'm from Miami and if you go anywhere and ask for a Cuban coffee they give you a shot of Cuban espresso, sweetened that basically feels like crack. That's all I wanted. That's all I was craving and I was let down. Take the word "Miami" from your name, you guy are anything but. -

Apparently, you can't go home.
I used to frequent this place when I lived in JP 15 years ago. It WAS a favourite.
Not any more.
The goal was to order 3 subs to go.
We failed in our mission.
The music was so loud when we entered, we could talk to the waitress. It was impressively almost a loud as a show by Boston's Zulus
After much communication effort (including pointing the specific items on the menu), We ordered 3 subs.
We then waited for close to 40 minutes.
The place had more the feel of a bunch of friends getting together for Sunday afternoon beers, than an actual eating establishment.
Finally got our food and left.
When we got home, we opened the bag to 2 sandwiches and I assume is an order of some kind of fried chicken.
The chicken (which we didn't order) can be best described as some kind of fried, dried chicken jerky. Overcooked beyond belief.
The bread was so stale on the sandwiches that I ended up tossing mine into the trash and eating leftovers instead. Pretty much a ware of $30.
Wish I could give a 0 (zero rating)
Yuck.
