    The best food in Louisville, hands down! The atmosphere is amazing, the staff are passionate and prompt. Get a pitcher of Mojito’s and you won’t be disappointed. The food was so good and special, you can’t be disappointed!

    What a fun place! The incredible Cuban food is worth the short trip from downtown. I had the Ropa Vieja en Lata - a tasty beef dish with a nod to Cuban nostalgia and a fun presentation. I would definitely recommend!

    Wonderful experience! I grew up in South Florida, so I know my Cuban food pretty well. I ordered a classic dish: Masas de Puerco. It was so delicious and took me right back to my childhood! Drinks were great too and we really enjoyed the overall festive atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

    Food was excellent as always! Service was a bit disappointing this time. We had two servers and they didn’t seem to be communicating with each other, so we were having to re-order food and then some items never showed up.
