We had a delicious lunch at theCafe! The 5 of us were promptly seated and the waitress immediately brought Cuban bread slices and dipping sauces and took our drink order. We enjoyed a variety of lunch specials and our daughter was able to eat free as it was a Thursday. Highly recommend

Don't sleep on this delicious Cuban restaurant tucked away in downtown Mount Dora. We hard a hard time choosing what to get so we sampled a bit of everything. The pan con ropa vieja was amazing. The Cuban bread itself is so buttery and melts in your mouth. The tostones and plantain chips were also excellent. I'm glad we decided to try this place and recommend it very highly!

I was drawn to this place by the lively atmosphere and the energy of the live music. Everyone there was having a great time, making it a fun experience. I didn’t get a chance to try the food this time, but I did enjoy a few margaritas during happy hour—it was reasonably priced at just 5. The only downside was the wait time to get the drinks, which was a bit longer than expected—however, the good vibes and watching people dance more than made up for it. I’ll be back to try the food next time!

We came here for my birthday dinner, although the inside seating was full, there was plenty of outside seating. It was a little warm but they had plenty of fans. Our service was fantastic! Every employee we encountered was caring and professional. Our food was delicious and portions were large. I look forward to coming back in the future. I also want to give a special shout out to our server because she was so awesome. Thank you Kiara for making my birthday special!
