El Porton de la Flaca — Restaurant in Sweetwater

Cannot recommend. By Appointment Only. I saw people rudely get turned away that were walk ins on a Saturday, they only do walk ins on Tuesday afternoons from 530-7pm. I felt bad for that family bc they said "oh today is our only day off" instead of the rep creating a follow up appt. or at least letting them look or standby in case of cancellations they just closed the door with a key let us in and locked them out. I felt lucky I had an appt bc I wouldn't be ok if I was treated that way.

The shop is very small, like a tiny living room. Their cake designs are beautiful and elaborate, although some are dated. We were helped by Gina, who was very nice but kept jumping back and forth between us and another couple since they were short staffed and they double booked our appointment slot (unprofessional).

They do have beautiful cakes and I felt I could trust them to design something beautiful for us. However, to me if the taste is not the best it doesn't matter how beautiful your cakes are.

Cake flavors: lemon was their best among all others (chocolate, marble, vanilla rum, and hazelnut) were too moist and tasted almost identical. Their cakes tasted like every Cuban cake bakery in Miami, not like what fancy wedding cake should taste like.

They charge ~$50 for base rental, for clients with hotel packages they charge $1.50 per person for fondant upgrade (Plain fondant no design), and $1.50 per person for ANY filling. If you want fondant and a filling that's an extra $3pp on top of what you're already paying to your hotel.

Ana Paz ranks 4 stars for design, 3 stars for customer service, 2 stars for taste, 2 stars for value. Overall for me 2.75 Stars

I'm a cake connoisseur and on the same day I had tasted her competition: Edda's Cake Design, Divine Delicacies, Sweet Art by Lucila, Todo Dulces. Ana Paz ranked last in tasting and...

Food was delicious. Service was excellent. For appetizers we had empanadas, pan de bonos (miniature ones that I've never seen but waitress gave us doubles cuz of their size) and the chicharron. Appetizers were pretty good. Only con was the chicharron that could have fried for a bit longer to make them crispier. I had a sancocho de gallina, one of my kids had the sancocho de res, other kid had scrambled eggs with arepa and so did my wife. Overall the food was really good.. Now my biggest problem, although there is a sign on the center of the table warning about price increases, the menus are also on the table under the glass shield with prices... We all assumed prices are updated and we are just being warned everything has gone up.. Well, just be warned that the menu prices are ALL inaccurate. We were charged 1 to 2 dollars extra for every single item... Needless to say my bill for 4 of us including appetizers and the most economical breakfast was $105 including tip... Sorry, but that's excessive... Although I liked the food, doubt I'll be going back... Please make sure you actually update your prices so customers don't feel tricked when the bill shows up. My last con is the lighting. Although the decor is nice, lighting is really low, my wife and i had a very hard time seeing the menu. Recommend using your cellphone light to see it.. If price is no object and want good food, then this is definitely...
