The shredded beef was excellent!

It has been a long time since I visited here and now I'm asking myself why didn't I come back sooner. The service was fantastic and the food was 100% authentic and legit Cuban food. I wish I didn't have to drive so far to get here, but that will no longer be a barrier. My Cubano sandwich was the absolute best I have ever had. I tasted the food from others at my table and the steak chimicuri (I hope I spelled that right) was out of this world delicious. I want to know how they make that so I can make it at home. ?Seriously, this restaurant is amazing and I can't wait to go back.

Our third time at this restaurant. It is the best Cuban restaurant in town. Took some friends we were in town with and they loved it. Live music every night. Food is always excellent. True authentic Cuban dishes. The drinks are some of the best. Looking forward to eating here again when we are in town.

They came out with the BEST bread and garlic butter. Great service, amazing food - will come here again!!

OMG, this restaurant was off the chain. I visited with my girlfriend and two close friends. This was our first time at the restaurant and we had Lisandra (Lisa) as our server. Lisa was amazing and the food was even better (no shade to Lisa - we love you girl).Since this was our first time, we went crazy on the tapas; bread with garlic and cilantro butter, Rumba Queso Dip, Guacamole, Havana Chicken Nachos, Empanadas, Chicken, Steak and Shrimp tacos.Listen, you have to go try it for yourself. Peep the images and videos.

Excellent re-visit while in Louisville. Friday evening, called ahead and got on non-reservation list for around 6p. They told me on the non-reservation call ahead that there may be a small wait. No problem. We arrived early to find parking as it's meters in the area and only a few spaces in the back belonging to H.R. Walked in at 5:35 and said we knew we were early. Taken IMMEDIATELY to a high top bar table and seated. Bar made (created) a sugar free Mojito (I'm diabetic) and it was great! We ordered Chimichurri Steak and Masas de Puerco. Food almost beat the drinks arriving. Hot, fresh and excellent. Great experience. Will be back!

The atmosphere here was just a taste of what it might feel like out in the streets of Havana itself.The food was Cuban authentic and will fill you right up.The Art, live music and staff that's got tides to the culture all come together to make a great Cuban restaurant that you'll definitely want to try out for yourself.

We stopped in for a quick lunch - 2 adults and 2 kids. All employees were masked and they were seating tables with a distance and we very much appreciated that. Our lunch was fast and delicious. The kids cubanito pork meal is a STEAL and my son loved every bit of it for $6! Our waiter was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Excellent experience! My husband and I stopped for lunch while traveling. This place had all my Cuban favorites. The Cuban sandwich is authentic and delicious. The pork was juicy and flavorful. The spinach corn and cheese empanada was fabulous ?. The crust was perfectly light and flaky...not at all hard or overcooked.Only sadness is that they don't have a restaurant in TN where we are from.

This is my favorite restaurant in Louisville. Excellent margaritas, great friendly service, and high-quality delicious food. The atmosphere is high-energy but not overly so. It can get busy at times, but (as of the day of this writing), they do take reservations up to the day before and take call ahead day-of.
