Ive been fortunate to go to this restaurant dozens of times, and its never dissapointed.
Tucked away on a corner of flagler and 49th street, this spanish/cuban joint is the perfect place to give out of towners a taste of great food with a splash of local color.
Menu ranges from standard cuban fare to exotic choices like Gator, frog legs and rabbit. Ox tail in black sauce (when available) is tough to beat. Pork chunks and stuffed pork steak are a cardiologists nightmare. The latter is stuffed with Plantain puree, and topped with a balsamic sauce. The mix of flavors will please all.
Portions are huge, so dont over order. Service is attentive without being obtrusive. Desserts are fresh, varied and well prepared.
Limited wine list, but some good spanish selections to accompany hearty fare.
Pros: great food, great value, friendly staff
Cons: location, waiting area, can get crowded...
