    great food at an awesome price, but they seemed to be out of a lot of things and the service left a little to be desired...

    Sin sabor. I visited this restaurant with great anticipation and I was sorely disappointed. I made the mistake of ordering hard tacos with chicken and yellow rice. The hard tacos were nearly burned and the filling of mystery cheese and chicken had no flavor. These were probably the worst tacos I ever had in my life. I also informed the waitress and the cook who seemed stunned by the criticism. Honestly, this was a very surreal experience because there was great dissonance between their reaction to the terrible meal. The restauranteur/s did not recognize their weaknesses: mediocre food and lackluster customer service. The restaurant was probably empty for a reason...sin sabor, no flavor.

    Advertised as open on Sundays but took my husband for Father's Day as he was in the mood for Cuban food while on vacation and they were CLOSED! Please have that info on your website so people don't make plans and drive all the way out there.

    I love this place and go regularly. Food is usually really good and service is attentive. My complaints and only because I hope they see this and fix are the following: 1) They have ants which make there way to the tables. They need to get this under control. 2) Iced tea - We are big iced tea drinkers. They need to ensure fresh tea daily. Not kept in the cooler and served 1-2 days later. 3) Food quality - Usually very good. Cannot say I have ever been sick which is a plus. Go on a slow day however and rice is hard, beans runny. 4) Change the oil more often. We get french fries, empanada, etc. The oil is old. You can tell because the fries come out really dark and have that taste. We have had fries from there that are light and crispy. 5) Clean up the place and people will come. Invest a little and people will come. You will see that the place will get business when you invest in it. I will continue to go and I would say everyone should try this place. There really is not any place like this around here. You would need to go to Miami to get get good Cuban food.

    Steak with onions (Bistek de Palomilla) was lean and well cooked. The white rice I requested with black beans was delicious. The maduros which are sweet plantains were perfectly made. The tostonos were home made and the garlic oil accompaniment was excellent. My husband had the Bistek Empanizado (Breaded Steak) made perfectly. The size was huge on both and for $12 each the meal was stupendous. Definitely will be back.

    We enjoyed the Cuban sandwich. I loved the yucca with mojo. Atmosphere about a 1.5. No mojitos available on the day we dined. Did not like that it was located next to a seedy liquor store with seedy customers coming and going. One of them gave us a dirty look in the parking lot for absolutely no reason.

    Empanadas, yucca frita, plantains, black beans and rice, chorizo burrito, chicken burrito, fried pork chunks and service were all great. I would have given the place 5 stars if i had not been to the ladies room. It definitely is in need of attention.

    Just finished an amazing lunch at Palmas de Cuba in Sarasota. We found this place via Yelp and gave it a try. A wonderful find. Just a small store front on Washington Blvd. but with a warm and friendly staff. Try the Cuba sandwich....tasty with a fair amount of spice. My wife had the Qqesadillas with black beans and rice on the side. Fresh ingredients and just the right amount of hot spices. Need to go back and try the daily specials

    We went here for breakfast one morning and found ourselves among what appeared to be regulars and one waitress. I knew immediately it would be a while, but I don't live anywhere near Cuban food anymore, so let the wait begin. The waitress brought our cafe con leches out pretty promptly, but our breakfast sandwiches took a while and she got the order wrong. Either way, it was still good. We don't often find ourselves in this part of town, but we would return if we were.

    I stopped in for a quick breakfast burrito to go. While I was waiting I decided to have a Cuban espresso that was a very smart choice on my part. The young lady that served me was very pleasant and I assume the daughter of the cook. This place has the feel of a family-owned establishment and I am trying very hard since moving to this new area to frequent mom and pop type facilities versus chain facilities was very pleasantly surprised to see that it looked to be a family owned facility. That said the Cuban expresso was fantastic absolutely the best flavor and aroma that I have had in expresso since I have been here in Florida. I had just finished watching the new movie chef the night before so it was very nice to have my breakfast sandwich give into me in the standard authentic Cuban style with a butter side bread that is pressed it was a great sandwich and the service was really nice I was the only person in the facility as it was so early in the morning but I really enjoyed the visit and hope to take my family there for dinner.

    The food was much better on this visit, ordered the pork and onion sandwich. The sandwich was tender, the bread was nice, taste was great. I would say if you go there don't order the steak, it's like a mules hoof. Stick to the staple of Cuban food, pork and chicken. I would have given an extra star, but the staff looks irritated when a customer walks in and not at all friendly. I felt like I was interrupting the very important work they were doing, standing around.

    This is a good place for a casual dinner. It is small and quiet. We got in and out pretty quickly-getting our dinner probably just 10 minutes after ordered. Portions were large and I had enough for leftovers. This isn't somewhere I would go for a special occasion, but great for just grabbing a filling dinner and having a good conversation.

    Gave it a try and ordered food to go, I can't tell you how good the food is because both my wife's and mine came with hair, called to let them know and all we got is a "that cannot be". Threw it out, too bad, it did smell good.

    Sarasota has a new contender for the best Cuban Restaurant. This is a relatively new place with a limited menu, but don't let that fool you. The Cuban Sandwich comes in a "regular" and a "grande". Pressed to perfection, with the the right balance of pork, jam, cheese, pickles and mustard, this rivals the best on Calle Ocho. The breaded beef steak is a healthy size portion; ours was ordered with congri (black beans and rice cooked together) and ripe plantains (maduros). For dessert, a traditional flan. The beers arrive with a new frosty mug for every round and the service is well paced, not too rushed and not too relaxed. The prices are reasonable, and of you can get you guy in the booth across the room to take his call off speakerphone, you can enjoy the typical music which is played at a very pleasing level - loud enough to hear and soft enough to not interfere with the conversation. The owner is very charming and checks in on the guests to make sure all is well..... And from the looks of it, he'll be checking on folks for some time to come. Buen Provecho Bon Apetite.

    My wife and I stopped in for what we thought was going to be a simple Cuban meal. WOW!! This is BY FAR the best Cuban food in Sarasota. Everything is made on site, nothing frozen or pre prepared, the food is fresh and it tastes INCREDIBLE!! It may not look fantastic from the outside but the place is clean and the food is amazing!!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
