Andy FrancoSeptember 16, 2016Try their Chicken Empanadas served with their banana-jalapeño ketchup, delicious. Also for their cocktails the Templeton Manhattan and Buena Vista are great!!!
Kenny KhuuJuly 25, 2018$37 brunch buffet with some Cuban flair like paella, tamales, and tortas. Thought everything was pretty average per buffet standards. Scallop over seared tuna and the steamers were the best.
Dëva HolikOctober 21, 2014Great little gem for dates and is very romantic. Get an outside table and sit by fireplace after dinner. Try the bourbon flight and you can't go wrong with any of the Cuban food or plantains
Rachel RebeccaJuly 20, 2017Service was quite friendly, helpful, conversational, and patient. neat thing is you get unlimited rice and beans. sweet bread is delicious. Salmon is tasty, tender but chard, creamy, and flavourful.- Arelys RamirezMarch 16, 2013The white sangria is MUST! Their bocadito and empanadas are delicious. For the main dish go with El Puerco Primo or the Plantain Crusted Chicken. As for dessert, the banana fritters are super yummy!
SuperbJuly 17, 2012What a cute date spot! Love the mood created by all of the glowing candles. Try the ropa vieja or the spice-rubbed seared ahi, and pair it with a few glasses of sangria.
This is a great spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great food and service. The patio is a nice spot for date night or a girls brunch.
Jimmy YDecember 12, 2016The starters are great, try the gambas with garlic, then the tuna tartare with plantains and finish with the skirt steak entree
Great cocktails and food! The ambiance is very lively. A perennial favorite among visitors to Costa Mesa. The paella is excellent.
Katy KarasMarch 13, 2016When the sun ☀ is shining, great place for lunch. Great vibe. Food and drinks are creative and yummy, with steep prices!!
Chad PestelosDecember 12, 2011Bistecca de navarra - 8 oz grilled flat iron steak, topped with a Spanish red-wine reduction. Served with purple potatoe-goat cheese mashed and grilled artichoke = orgasm in mouth.
E. ZavitsanouNovember 8, 2018Yummy Caribbean food and chilled place. I had an IPA from the region, so good!
Craig VillamorJuly 16, 2019Good place to stop before grabbing a flight at SNA. Very Insta-friendly atmosphere. Food is pretty good but over cooked. Mojitos have NO booze.
Michelle HuynhJanuary 29, 2014Recommend the sangria Blanca, seared ahi and the skirt steak! The flavors blew my mind
- Tiffany NJuly 24, 2011Plantain Crusted Chicken dish is to die for! Strawberry Lemondrop - sweet, tart, and delicious. and for dessert - Banana Fritters! perfect meal right there
For great service at the Bar- go to Matt (handle bar mustache) - he is quick & efficient w/ great personality #Cheers- The Ahi Tuna Tartare May have been the best I’ve ever had. SO delicious.
Scott FernandezAugust 2, 2013Great food and Great service! Definitely going back! Parking is the only issue. Very limited.
LauraMarieDecember 13, 2010Try their signature cocktails... I recommend the Blackberry Mojito or the Strawberry Lemondrop. Oh, and I admire how the restaurant uses candles as their only source of light.
The fish is amazing. Ambiance is good. Drinks a little pricey.
Josh McBrideApril 29, 2012Get there before 12:30p on Thursdays for the Kobe burger special. Wash it down with an Arnold Palmer
Chris MillerJanuary 24, 2015Pork croquettas are amazing. Portions are lacking. Great atmosphere though.
Snape DoggNovember 12, 2011If the Jumbo Shrimp Special is on the menu order it. One of the best things I've ever tasted.
Angel GarciaJuly 8, 2011skirt steak is a savory entree that one cant pass up. Love it and the sides that it comes with. Read more
The food is great here, but the eggs benedict should be rethought
Naima FinnieJanuary 19, 2012Try the Mango Bbq Pulled Pork Sandwich - Not too sweet, great portion, soft bun...YUM!
White sangria is a MUST! Then get the Ropa Viejo or El Puerco Primo
Priscilla @shescookinSeptember 21, 2011It may not be as Cuban as other dishes, but the Spice Rubbed Seared Ahi is aahhmazing!
Boutiquing ErinOctober 26, 2010The Roasted Vegetable & Mixed Greens is the best salad ever + add plantain crusted chicken for extra yumminess!- Andrew KissingerJuly 11, 2011Start with the delicious Spanish Flatbread, then get the El Puerco Primo. Incredible!!
Wednesday night BBQs all summer long!! 2 tacos for $5 & $4 sangrias!! Starts at 9pm!!
GinaJuly 6, 2011I have been coming here for years and always order the chicken empenadas. I love them!
Christan CasanovaMarch 6, 2011Great food and great Mojitos. Reminds me of my trip to that Paradise Island. Rum in carton box "classic."
It's all about the salmon dinner plate... OMG. If u want a good appetizer, do the bocaditos!

"Try the Rice Flour Pupusas! The rice flour exhibits a lightness that doesn't overwhelm the other flavors as corn masa tends to do. Top with pupusa-specific mild salsa and the slaw curtido. Yum!"
