“ My favorite Cuban restaurant is finally open once again after what felt like an eternity of a remodel. You can not go wrong with this place. The food and service is great and the atmosphere is clean and comfortable. I’d put Latin America as the number one Cuban restaurant in Miami Lakes! ”
“ As the Cubans say “Bueno, Bonito y Barato”. No I’m not Cuban but that’s what I hear. Food: Great food for the price Service: It’s good. I’ve came here enough times to talk with some of the waitresses. Try to be patient, most of them have 2 jobs day & night in order to survive. Atmosphere: Clean diner. ”
