“ Ummm... as you can tell, I almost forgot to take photos, LoL My friend and I stopped here to try the menu. She has experienced true Cuban cuisine. While I have not. We were pleasantly surprised. For our appetizers, we tried the Beef empanadas and Papa rellena (Stuffed potato ball). Both were flavorful and delicious. My favorite is the Papa rellena. We decided on Roasted pork/Cerdo asado for our entree. For our sides, we chose Yellow rice and Yuca. The Yuca tastes similar to a potato but slightly different. It is extra Yummy with garlic butter, which they happily supply. Dessert... get ready... they have several to choose from! We chose one of each, like a sampler snack platter that we purchased "to go." Needless to say, it took us 3 days to finally finish, but we enjoyed the journey. I look forward to visiting this establishment again! ”
“ When you arrive at the storefront, you are greeted by lively Cuban music playing outside, palm trees, and umbrella-topped tables. Once you walk in, you are transported out of Panama City to an authentic Cuban cafe. The atmosphere was so fun and inviting. Everything I ordered was amazing. I only wish I found this place sooner. Highly recommend. ”
“ Another Panama City unexpected surprise. I've passed this place countless times. I'm sorry that I didn't stop earlier. I tried to taste as much as possible. I've only been to Cuba once. We have a great little Cuban place in downtown Atlanta. This place grabbed me the minute I walked in. The decor, the music, the food display (visible behind the glass) Seemed really authentic . They did not disappoint. I had the Cuban sandwich, chicken empanada, potato ball, and creme brulee. I won't get into the details of each. I'm just saying that all of it was excellent. I may go back tomorrow night to try their entrees. ”
“ If you’re looking for a delicious meal for an amazing price - look no further! This brought me back to my childhood eating in Miami and SOFLO joints. Delicious. ”
“ Most Authentic Cuban Bakery/Restaurant I've found in the North Florida area. You won't find a better place that has the feel and the amazing food anywhere from Tallahassee to Panama City Beach. Definitely make a stop here before you go into Panama City. Not one bad thing here. Feels right at home from Miami. ”
“ This is my second visit here, and I love it! Everything was amazing. I recommend the oxtails and lamb. You won't be disappointed. Afterward, treat yourself to their pastry shop selection. You will definitely leave with a smile and perhaps even some leftover because their portions are more than enough. ”
“ Had lunch, the oxtail platter. It was delicious. I quickly ordered dinner plates to go. ”
“ Came to Panama for a doctor apt. Was craving some latin food. This was the first restaurant I eyeballed on Google within close proximity to where I was. The customer service was amazing . I brought my husband a plate home as well. The portions are well worth the price. I honestly think I haven't ever eaten yuca that soft and delicious in a while. Will definitely be back. I got pernil, arroz congris, and yuca. I had to snag a guava & cheese danish to go Deliciosooooo! ”
