Hidden gem down the street from Hardrock. We were lucky to get a table during their lunch rush hour. The service was good! We got the food in a timely manner and the place was spacious. The lunch specials Monday- Friday from 11-4pm is everything!!! These deals are something you can't pass up on. All the entrees go from $8.99+ depending on the day and what you get. It's affordable and tasty. The top 3 entrees we ordered was the carne asada which comes with a big steak with rice and beans as well as a garlic cilantro sauce. The tenderness of this juicy steak was to die for! Next up is the Bistec de Palomilla, this was almost like a thin strip of steak served with rice and beans. Super flavorful. Lastly, the bistec de pollo aka chicken steak, this came out juicy!!! I love how seasoned each of the entrees were. Also, you can't forget the Cuban coffee!! This was so strong and good, you don't want to miss out!

I haven't seen pan con bistec this big since prepandemic hialeah days lol The fried plantains didn't make it to the picture because they were soooo good, freshly made with the best garlic sauce on the side, brought me back to abuelas kitchen. The pork chop and beans were definitely someone's abuelas recipe because they had all the sazón I've been missing. Daily lunch deals are available and I can't wait to come back.

Best days to go any day except wed and Friday. Wed Chef is out Friday Patty lead server is off. I tell you forget about ove rpriced Versailles and Las vegas. The Food is way better than both those places at half the price. Steaks and Lechon amazing. Ham croquets best anywhere. Dont forget to try the MARIQUITAS. awesome

In on a Thursday at 5. Trying something different. ORDERED: Carne asada (Flap steak, or flap meat is a beef steak cut from the obliquus internus abdominis muscle of the bottom sirloin. It is generally very thin, fibrous and chewy, but flavorful, and often confused with both skirt steak and hanger steak) cooked medium with Moros Rice. $14.99 The last time I had this it was tough but I had to give it another try. It was cooked just right and was not to chewy. Since the tenderness is not consistent, I probably would not order it again.

We first heard how good this place was in an article in the local paper about great and cheap spots in Hollywood and Dania. We love Cuban so we made the drive and were already talking about going back before we were done with dinner. This place is wonderful. Spotless inside, really nice staff and big, delicious portions. I had fried chicken chunks and my husband had beef Vaca Frita. With a couple beers, deserts and coffee and tip the whole bill was just over $40. The traditional grilled buttered bread was complimentary. We took home enough for leftovers dinner the next night. Excellent, every bite. Five stars!

Quick & friendly service, good food & not crazy expensive. $2 empanada de carne, $8.99 almuerzo especial bistec de pallormina, $3 o $3.5 cerveza, con agua de mineral (Perrier) para $3 más. The hot sauce was good, not face melting hot, but good flavor. Steak was a little tough, but it was well seasoned. The empanada was good, clearly it was either fried or baked, not nuked in the microwave. I appreciated the opportunity to use my Spanish since I just got back from Guatemala after living abroad most of the last 16 months. I got maybe one question in English which actually felt odd at the end jajajajajaja
