I love to eat at Carlos Cuban Cafe, though I admittedly don't branch out a whole lot from the media noche, turkey club and island burger....all of them are great! It's a really casual dining experience and the food is tasty! Perfect for afternoons/evenings with friends or relaxing. more

I might have gone on a bad day but I found this place to be overhyped. The Cuban sandwich I had wasn't what you'd expect to get when you order a Cuban and pork loin lacked flavor. Mayo does NOT go on a Cuban sandwich. more
