Try their Chicken Empanadas served with their banana-jalapeño ketchup , delicious. Also for their cocktails the Templeton Manhattan and Buena Vista are great!!!

Dëva Holik

Great little gem for dates and is very romantic . Get an outside table and sit by fireplace after dinner . Try the bourbon flight and you can't go wrong with any of the Cuban food or plantains

Rachel Rebecca

Service was quite friendly , helpful, conversational, and patient. neat thing is you get unlimited rice and beans. sweet bread is delicious. Salmon is tasty, tender but chard, creamy, and flavourful.

Arelys Ramirez

The white sangria is MUST! Their bocadito and empanadas are delicious. For the main dish go with El Puerco Primo or the Plantain Crusted Chicken . As for dessert , the banana fritters are super yummy!

Superb

What a cute date spot ! Love the mood created by all of the glowing candles. Try the ropa vieja or the spice-rubbed seared ahi , and pair it with a few glasses of sangria .

Alyssa Coleman

This is a great spot for breakfast , lunch and dinner . Great food and service. The patio is a nice spot for date night or a girls brunch .

The starters are great, try the gambas with garlic , then the tuna tartare with plantains and finish with the skirt steak entree

When the sun ☀ is shining, great place for lunch . Great vibe. Food and drinks are creative and yummy, with steep prices!!

Michelle Huynh

Recommend the sangria Blanca, seared ahi and the skirt steak ! The flavors blew my mind

Chad Pestelos

Bistecca de navarra - 8 oz grilled flat iron steak , topped with a Spanish red-wine reduction. Served with purple potatoe-goat cheese mashed and grilled artichoke = orgasm in mouth.

Alyssa Coleman

The Ahi Tuna Tartare May have been the best I’ve ever had. SO delicious.

Tiffany N

Plantain Crusted Chicken dish is to die for! Strawberry Lemondrop - sweet, tart , and delicious. and for dessert - Banana Fritters ! perfect meal right there

Craig Villamor

Good place to stop before grabbing a flight at SNA. Very Insta-friendly atmosphere. Food is pretty good but over cooked. Mojitos have NO booze.

Stephanie

For great service at the Bar - go to Matt (handle bar mustache) - he is quick & efficient w/ great personality #Cheers

Amara Omoregie

Tried the crab cakes ... ????. Love this place. It never fails. :)

Try their signature cocktails ... I recommend the Blackberry Mojito or the Strawberry Lemondrop. Oh, and I admire how the restaurant uses candles as their only source of light.
