My favorite item in the menu is the shrimp ceviche-flavorful, not overly spicy or salty. The pork asado was good, too. Overall, the food is a bit pricey but there's a live performer, so that makes up for the price.The servers were attentive.

The house cuban sandwich was good, felt like trying the restaurant version vs the traditional sandwich. The pork was well cooked and season. I guess thats why traditional sandwiches should not be altered. I still prefer the original one.

All the food is amazing, but if you want a great Cuban sandwich, this is the place to get it. The Ceviche Del Caribe was our favorite appetizer. Drinks are on point and well crafted as well, recommend the Margarita Encendida or the Smoked Sazerac. Don’t forget the Cuban coffee either. You won’t be disappointed with the Cortado Frio (iced Cuban latte).

We loved this restaurant, the food was so good, the service was amazing, we didn’t have to wait long to get our food once we ordered what we wanted. We will definitely be coming back. The flan is a must, you have to order! It’s like a flan and a cheesecake had a baby. So delicious 😍 The empanadas are also delicious, we loved the chicken empanadas! Everything we tried was amazing!!

My wife and I enjoyed what can only be described as a GEM of a restaurant hidden in the Antelope Valley. The delicious meat dishes were a treat. My wife had the Cuban sandwich and loved it. To top it off we shared a serving of Flan, which is to die for. We strongly suggest you put this Gem on your "list of things to do".

Been to Cuban restaurants. This restaurant is not the greatest one but not the worst. Ordered Bocadito Cubano appetizer to share for a group of 5, the price is not even worth a try. It's expensive for what was included in the selection. Definitely not gonna order again. Nothing really says, WOW on it. Overall the restaurant has a good ambience, but for food, not worth coming back. If you haven't had Cuban food, definitely a try.

What a fantastic restaurant - my new fave in the AV! Baracoa has great food, nice ambience, and wonderful servers. And the food is so delicious and authentic. We had the Rooa Vieja and Vaca Frita. Both were delicious, but the Baca Frita was one of the nest beef dishes I have ever had! Sangria was great also. And whatever you do, DO NOT MISS THE FLAN! I am not even a fan of flans usually, but this one was so amazing and big enough for 2 to share. It is so nice to see a family restaurant with a commitment to excellence in everything they do.

One of the best Cuban sandwiches I've ever experienced. Pork cooked to perfection with terrific fresh bread, pickles, cheese and bacon. Sides of plantain, rice and beads were also excellent. Service a bit on the slow side is only criticism.

Hard to write this because the food is extremely delicious and the ambiance is nice and quaint. Food is so good that people were trying to finish up their food despite the fire blazing in the kitchen. While fire trucks made their way to the roofs the waitress collected money from a meal and drinks I did not get to enjoy. Worse part is that she said “the last time this happen we just gave someone their food.?!” Well that happened this time to me too and why has this happened more than once?! I wrote a previous review because the oxtails are so delicious that I get them each time I visit but it’s not worth dying for.
