This place was a good find. But I rated 4 overall as there’s room for improvement. As someone who’s been to Miami and Cuba a couple of time, this placed lacked a bit of ambiance and authenticity. The ambiance would be easily remedied with a bit of Cuban music and a little more organization in the kitchen. In terms of the food, the cubano was no truly authentic.

Everyone was nice and the food was tasty, but we smelled horibbly of food (and all our clothes did too, had to wash even the jackets), were cramped so honestly we couldn't leave soon enough. I'm deducting the star because this was a celebratory dinner, for which I searched quite a bit, reserved,...
