Takes me back homePosted on Google Jamie KnockeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We went here for the first time today. We had the Ropa Vieja (shredded beef) and Carne Guisado (beef stew) and both dishes were delicious. Service was excellent! The prices were a touch high at $18 a plate but absolutely worth the price. We will 100% be backPosted on Google Roxanna WrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tavares has elevated the restaurant scene with Chef Efrain! Restaurants of this caliber have been greatly missing in the Tavares/Mount Dora/Eustis area. An absolute must try! Best Cuban/Puerto Rican food in Central Florida. The Sancocho Soup is a rich pork and veggie soup that is beyond amazing! Best Cuban sandwich imaginable! Flan with a Cuban coffee was pure delight!
