    Service was great, food was excellent, drinks were good. If only there was more of a selection to the menu. Had to get something basic. Overall, it’s nice!

    The atmosphere was romantic and cozy. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food was incredible! I had the redsnapper. It came with white rice and sweet plantains. It was light and savory. So good! My husband had the shrimp and white rice. He says it was excellent. I also indulged and had a Pear gingertini! It was really good! Although there was only a splash of gingerale, the ginger flavor was prevalent. I'd recommend this restaurant for any adult outing. *2 cons; parking is sparse but a sign at the restaurant indicated availability to park at the Days Inn. Seating is a little close together (not uncomfortably). Cons aren't enough for me to give less than 5 stars.

    At first, the restaurant was difficult to find, we went around the surrounding area 3 times before the GPS finally told us to turn on the correct street. So first things first, before going make sure you trust your GPS. The restaurant is in a historic district in Harrisburg and it is a super cute area to walk around. After finding the restaurant everything was smooth sailing. Like most places the staffing was short, but the server was incredibly attentive. We ordered a delicious Malbec and put in our orders, which came out incredibly fast. I haven't had good black beans and rice since I was in Havana, Cuba and man do these hold up. The pork was so juicy and the beef was so tender it just fell apart. If you are looking for some good food that will warm your soul, definitely stop by.

    Food is always excellent at this restaurant. We had for the 4 of us, ceviche, yuca frita, masita de puerco, Cuban fried rice, salmon special, lechon asado, coconut flan, and tres Leche. Had mojito, infused pineapple martini, and Dos Equis for alcoholic drinks. Everything was delicious. Had plenty of to go containers at end of meal because we got so much food. Waitress did good job. Owner/staff Very accommodating when one person in party needed to be gluten free and no onions. Total price for the 4 of us was $190+tip. Will definitely be back.

    I happen to stop by in Harrisburg for a weekend let me tell you what this place is pretty good now I did not go inside we had gotten a table outside and were there the whole time we just had a very short walk we had gotten different types of steaks and shrimp and the Stone age and carnitas or I should say lechon in a bottle of wine all of the food in particular that we had gotten that day was very good looking at what people had gotten at their tables outside also the food is plentiful coming out of the kitchen everything looked delicious if you get a chance to stop here take a walk along the river while you're here after you eat like we did I think you'll enjoy your very much good time here

    Great food! We are so excited to try everything on the menu on return trips! The staff was super friendly and quick. Particularly loved the meats and my cocktail. The yucca fries were perfect! The only negative was the other customers. The other two groups of people on the patio were chain smoking the entire time inside the fully enclosed tenting which left our eyes burning by the end of our meal. We will certainly be back but won't risk sitting outside again unless it's warm enough to have the flaps all opened up.

    Quaint little restaurant in Shipoke, Pa, right under the smoke of Harrisburg! Service was great, good and drinks were fantastic! Recommended!

    When you are visiting from out of town, there is no better place to visit! Friendly staff and phenomenal food! I am here for the week, and I found my home away from home for my dinners. Fresh food, happy lady!

    Very busy at 6pm on a Saturday night. But I happened to be alone and just happened to speak with the owner. I was seated at the bar and was served promptly. Great food. Lovely restaurant.

    Excellent experience that exceeded my expectations for Cuban food. The house made Guava dressing was excellent, pork like butter and a well selected cocktail and wine list. Dulce de leche for dessert highly recommended.

    Everytime I'm here, I try something new, and everything is amazing. The bartenders are absolute experts in their craft. The servers are also amazing... But the best thing about this place is the food. Sorry if my photos of their food all have a bite or three taken...it was one of those "oh, man, I was supposed to take a photo before destroying these empanadas" kind of moments. It was suggested that after you finish the ceviche, to pour a shot of vodka in the juice... definitely going to try that next time.

    Came here for dinner after a long day of work. The place was empty on a Thursday night except for two people. Waitress was super welcoming and friendly. She did forget to put in our appetizer. Food was delicious and tasted authentic. Cozy feel to the restaurant. Would come back!

    Had a lovely Saturday night dinner here! Enjoyed the Cuban Fried Rice. Great vibe, bartender was very friendly and attentive. Mangotini was delicious.

    I ate here a few years ago for my birthday and got the special (and expensive) paella and honestly... was disappointed. It wasn't very good. We went here again for my buddies birthday... and it was FANTASTIC! I did steer clear of the paella but the dish consisting of fried pork was absolutely wonderful and so flavorful. The two things that stood out most were - 1. Our waitress. She was WONDERFUL. Patient, attentive, and ON POINT with the recommendations. 2. The coconut empanadas (reccomended by our waitress!). These were chillingly good. So crispy and sweet and savory at the same time! Seriously, the week prior to this I had spent a week in the Northeast of the country eating at world famous restaurants and I come home to try a bite of food I will remember forever! These were absolutely and utterly fantastic.

    Take out order was missing part of my order. Of course I should know better, and check the order before leaving the restaurant. I did call the location once I got home (about 25 minutes away), and they did acknowledge they forgot part of my order. But they would not credit my card, stating that I could come back to get what was missing, or they could issue me a credit to be used on my next visit. The sandwiches were good, but I would recommend eating in the restaurant rather than doing takeout.

    Everything was delicious as if it was personally prepared just for me. The martinis are to die for... Or live for. Try any of the appetizers, they're all good. The cubana vegetable bowl is a mixture of lots of yummy things including sweet potato, plantain, black beans, onion, chicken and rice to name a few. So delicious. This is definitely a restaurant I will visit again, soon.

    This time I tried Lechón (pork) with Moros (rice with beans). The food was great and the Cuban piano music was the icing on the cake. Very good service.

    Great experience, you can eat inside or outside. Is close to the river so the area is amazing.

    I have NEVER been to a Cuban restaurant (not by choice, because of availability) and I haven't been this impressed in a while. From the decor, to the music, this place was so beautiful and inviting. The food was top tier delicious and the servers were so attentive and kind. Love love love 💘
