    Massive servings. Cafeteria-style Cuban restaurant. A half-dozen+ choices in each category: meat, vegetable, starch. Impossible to not get a combination that suits you well. Active, family-friendly dining area with separate full service bar-area, pool table, and even an ice cream station!

    Everything is so delicious! We catered for Mother's Day. All the food we ordered was perfect, and hot and flavorful. Definitely recommend.

    We enjoyed our food except for hubby he said the pork in red sauce was dry. The other thing I noticed was they charged us for a meal we never ordered! Called them & spoke to someone & they said to come back & gave me a meal to replace what I got charged for!

    Buffet style service lots of Cuban food choices if you like buffet line food. I would appreciate a small sign to enable you to just purchase a Cuban sandwich and a drink instead of waiting in the buffet line to order. Cuban was not impressive, consisted mostly of ham, one small piece of pork and lots of bread! If I want a full Cuban meal I would try this restaurant again.

    The place was clean and for that i give it a star. However, the fish was cold and the skin was tough/soggy. The rice was warm and the beans were warm. Basically nothing was hot (165 degrees). I will probably be sick later. The tea was not sweet. I wish we would have been offered the food fresh. I know it is cafeteria style but it would have been nice to eat an actual fried fish. The cleaning lady was cleaning the entire time so i appreciate that.

    I use to come and have a good meal here and at a decent price. But man I am shocked on how expensive they have gotten. This meal was all rice and a quarter chicken 13.99. Oh yea and the yuca was hard!!! Never again!!! I believe they are under new ownership

    Absolutely delicious Cuban restaurant! Reasonably priced for large portions. Would highly recommend the moros rice, plantains, picadillo. Their papa rellenas (fried potato ball with ground beef center) are amazing. I usually do not enjoy tamales because I feel like it can be dry - but Liborio’s knocks it out of the park. We will definitely be back to try more.

    I went to the counter understanding that the food has been there for the day no problem. I know they cook it at lunch time, I was there around dinner time and that was not an issue. But when I approach the counter no one attended to me even though they saw me. They rather continue laughing and talking. I stood there for about 5 minutes having made eye contact and .Never received any service. I left. I couldn't tell you if the food was any good they never served me.

    This place deserves 10+ stars, hands down!!! The prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious. I've been eating here since 2020, and they NEVER disappoint!! They're jam-packed from the morning through lunchtime, I'm not sure about dinner, but I'm certain the lines are still long during those hours. Food is ALWAYS hot, fresh, and made to order. Plus, you have a variety of choices to choose from. Btw, whether you eat there for B-L-D, you will always have extra to eat later.

    The food was amazing I got Uber eats so it’s probably more expensive than it even is in the actual restaurant but for $15 I got fresh bread with butter and I got three sides and Meet I picked double white rice, yucca and bistecca I don’t know how they don’t have five stars for the reviews but the food was not only a ridiculous amount that made 2 1/2 meals for me, but it was REALLY GOOD

  • 5/5 Chris H. 4 months ago on Google • 66 reviews
    The food was excellent. I've been craving authentic Cuban for weeks, and I finally found it. Price is fair fast prepping of food customer service a plus the sweet tea it could have been better in my opinion but I get five stars

    Food was delicious.. I went there for the chicharrones (heard they were good) but I came out with a full plate. Their beans and rice are really good!

  • 3/5 LaDonna 9 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed the beef empanadas and the teriyaki chicken. Had the crab cake not been a bit too salty, it would have been better. The red beans and Spanish rice were ok, but I think they needed a little more seasoning. I have some tamales but I haven't tasted them yet. The food selection and the customer service were really good. I appreciated both. In short, I'd recommend giving it a try.

    I went there to pick up food for the family not knowing what I was walking into and I was pleasantly surprised. Parking spaces are a little weird very narrow but other than that so good. I went in personally for a Papa rellena (or stuffed potato ) which by the way was amazing the the mashed potatoes were creamy and it had a really crispy outside and it was so big LOL. But the food all looked amazing and delicious

  • 4/5 Dona C. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here! Food is pretty good. I’ll be back to try some more items.

  • 5/5 Sonja P. 6 months ago on Google
    The food is sooo delicious, especially the Palomilla steak dinner. The customer service is always a pleasant experience along with great food. Very clean establishment and professional.

  • 5/5 D A. 7 months ago on Google
    Very clean establishment. Excellent food. Huge portions. I was able to split the meal in two. Excellent customer service. Both breakfast and dinner was excellent. Prices are great too.

  • 3/5 Tampa “Tampa” F. 9 months ago on Google
    The plates are always over packed with the sides and very small amount of your main dish. For example every time I’ve purchased the larger plate I get Shredded pork, plantains & rice. The plate is packed with rice and you get a ladle of meat. If you’re lucky you’d get 3-4 plantains. You’re basically buying a plate of rice. Which their rices are always under seasoned and the pork is way over salted & extremely dry. Sure, you could request some of the juice but there isn’t any in the pan. The Cubans are way over priced and again, there’s barely much on them. The music is the bar area is way too loud for the regular lunch and early dinner crowds. They can’t hear you, you can’t hear them when ordering- pretty annoying. If you order in Spanish and it’s not in their type you’re met with broken English instead. You’re better off having a male order the food, sadly there’s less sas that way & has been proven to get the appropriate amount sometimes more of the foods you order. It’s definitely not like it used to be 20-25yrs ago. Younger crowd running it, foods lost the authenticity, overpriced, and it’s obviously catered more to getting the men in here more then the old school family atmosphere it once had. I would definitely recommend this place if you enjoy the loud music, pool hall, drinking atmosphere not so much for families anymore. Get there early too, the parking lot is not fully paved and when the work crews/ guys come in, it’s kinda hard to find an open spot. If you don’t mind waiting for someone to leave then you’re good.

    Just got all the way back home this morning to find out they did not again, put cheese on my breakfast sandwich. Three people were served before I even got my sandwich. Don't know why. But when I finally got it I should have checked before I left. Other than that the employees are always very friendly, and the food is excellent. I would recommend it

  • 3/5 Miladys P. 9 months ago on Google
    I give them 3 stars because the service was ok, they help me as soon as I get there, but is the second time that the food don’t taste as usual, my husband said the same thing, we have so many years going there, I think they changed the cook or something, because look like some one is learning to cook, or they don’t tasted before is served to public, I don’t know, hopefully they get better again, I like some other items like sandwiches, so I keep going anyway

  • 4/5 Aurora G. 9 months ago on Google
    It looks a bit run down, but the food was great. They give large portions enough to take home for another meal. They have a great variety of dishes to choose from.

  • 2/5 Xiomara M. 10 months ago on Google
    I went in today for chicharones, I was the only one at the window until another couple walked in. To my surprise they were helped first. Then the lady serving them walked them to the register for payment and then came back only to help someone else. No greeting etc I have eaten here for over a decade and I must say this has happened more than a few times. I will not return after today.

  • 5/5 Victoria B. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing place that I've been going to since 2011. So grateful they kept their location and atmosphere with the new builds around them! Always incredible food and service. Always clean.

  • 5/5 Michael L. 10 months ago on Google
    Came here after work last week with a fellow workmate. They gave me large portions and the food tasted great. Excellent prices too. Plenty of choices. Fountain drinks or cans of Cuban beverages. Place was clean and lots of tables to eat at. Good quality and value.

  • 1/5 walt P. 1 year ago on Google
    Rice is old!!!!. days old, trust I know rice. You been warned.. fish fillet was good and their soup was good. But if the rice is not good you get one star. It’s easy and cheap to make fresh rice daily. Rice should not be old by 1pm on a Monday. Unacceptable.!! It’s ashame

  • 1/5 Audri S. 1 year ago on Google
    I normally love their breakfast but on this day October 10, 2022 at 8AM my daughter and I went to pick up a two eggs meal with bacon and grits. The only thing that was fresh was the eggs, I believe we were given old bacon and grits I had to throw our food out. I am very disappointed.
