The Best cuban food Cafe in Naples. I Only get cuban food from here the best tasting cuban food.

I was craving an original Medianoche Cuban Sandwich so we made a stop here. Staff was friendly and my sandwich took a little while to prepare which indicated to me that they’re made to order. They carry a good variety of Cuban soft drinks, as well as American. My pineapple drink was delicious! My friend ordered a soup and some rice with mixed vegetables from the already prepared hot food display. He had the soup but did not like the rice, which he threw away. My sandwich was not so good. The bread was was very greasy, with too much mayo and no mustard or pickles, which are part of the main ingredients. I was also putt off by the conditions of the hallway walls leading into the restrooms. The Ladies room was in bad shape, considering it is in an eatery, it was worst than a gas station toilet. The highlights that made my visit pleasant was being in company with my friend, the Latin music videos playing on the tv monitor, and the rooster strolling around outside the window. Kind of like a Key West flashback!

Best coffee right of I 75 Naples. Great people too.
