Bob Buckhorn: Everything is good but get the Cuban for the real Ybor experience. Their Cuban bread is from La Segunda, a historic and authentic bakery just a few blocks away.
Michelle S: Great sangria and service, lobster flatbread and soups are amazing...chorizo app and rib app a little dry and tough...paella was not authentic no crust on rice and meat over cooked
Mario Tang: The most authentic cuban food outside of miami or cuba 1905 salad is ginormous
