    We started with the appetizer sampler and it was good. Pork could have been a little more tender but it was flavorful. The Lechon Asado was on the dry side but the paella was tasty and the pan seared salmon was done well. We had a wait on the maduros side dish. Restaurant could use more air conditioning rather than the sad single unit over the door. It was busy so many bodies generating heat in a smallish dining room did not make for comfortable dining.

    Wonderfully attentive service and the food was outstanding. Salmon with pesto sauce and sides of arroz blanco and maduros - amazing! All for a very reasonable price. Huge recommendation!

    This restaurant is not to be missed. Cuban food is my comfort food and 1958 did not disappoint. The food was terrific and the service was great. The owner, Luis and the maitre'd Ignacio were so attentive to all diners, moving from table to table throughout the night. This was our first visit but not our last!

    As always, the food is outstanding. Authentic Cuban cuisine! Compares to the Cuban restaurants in Miami. All the staff is so warm and friendly. The owner is always on premise, always making sure you are having the best dining experience.

    Very nice, cozy family-run, corner restaurant with excellent food and friendly, attentive service. While I love Latin music, particular the Cuban and Puerto Rican style the restaurant plays, they play it entirely too loud. That made talking tedious, causing all the quests to speak loudly. The noise-level became a big negative. Hopefully they’ll turn the sound down a couple notches. We’d like to return with friends.

    Food is excellent. I had the potato lechon and was great! Inside space is a little cramped.
