Had such an amazing and personal experience! The owner treated us like we were at home. Cuban sandwich was the best I've ever had (and I'm from Miami). Very quaint and his hot sauce and pico are on point! We tried the ham croquettes, beef empanadas and Cuban sandwich.

We were immediately welcomed not only by whom I presume is the owner, but also the customers. This is the place where everybody knows your name as they knew everyone who walked through the door. The establishment is not big at all so make yourself comfortable! We ordered breakfast sandwiches to go and they were accompanied by delicious cafesitos. If you want a truly "at home welcome" you should definitely stop here!

Amazing Cuban food in a small diner. Great prices and delicious sandwiches and entrees. If you are in town and fail to eat here you made a poor life decision. I hope you can sleep at night. 6/5.

OMG, the black bean soup, ground beef, rice & beans burrito with salsa & pico de Gallo & espresso were to die for! Very friendly owner, Alberto & fun atmosphere. Next time I’m in Cape Canaveral, I’ll eat there every day!!! Sooooo good!

Good find, tasty tacos. Was not too crazy about the corn tortillas (soft of course) but I liked it very much

Great food, friendly people. I was TDY to Cocoa Beach for a week and found this little gem on Wednesday. I had the Cuban sandwich, side of plantains, side of black beans and a side of rice. The food was so amazing, I made sure to come back again before I left town. Mr. Vargas is such a nice man, and was laughing and talking to all of the guest in the restaurant. It is a small place, so I don't recommend large groups, however, it feels like we you're at home in your grandparent's kitchen. The food is cooked to order. O got mine to go and it was sti extremely hot by the time I made it back to my hotel. You will not be sorry if you eat here. Thank you to the Vargas family 😍

Best Cuban cafe in the area. I grew up in Miami. I know a good Cuban cafe when I find one. The owner/operator is super friendly and makes the experience memorable. Small cafe, room for about 15-20. Feels like visiting an old friend every time I’m there. Highly recommended. Breakfast too!

Fresh made authentic Cuban food. Very clean establishment with friendly staff and owners. My favorite is the masita de cerdo frita(fried pork chunks). Ask for the homemade orange colored hotsauce.

BEST CUBAN SANDWICHES EVER!!! I took a family member who immigrated from Havana & he said it was exactly like his favorite cafe back home! It's a tiny mom & pop cafe w/HUGE PERSONALITY! The food is AMAZING, the staff is warm & inviting & it's almost impossible to not make at least 1 new friend while you're there bc everyone's treated like family! I've been coming here for years and it's always a stellar experience!

We saw the reviews for this place while on vacation in Cocoa Beach & decided to give it a try. We weren’t disappointed. The food was very good. Between the four of us, we had a Cuban sandwich, steak sandwich, chicken sandwich, tacos, fries and plantains. No complaints. Great customer service as well. Thank you!

Best place on the Space Coast and probably farther for a Cuban, but everything is phenomenal. The icing on the cake is the Cuban coffee after a meal. Everything is fresh, home cooked style Cuban and Mexican food. I'm here once a week!

We were looking up restaurants around our area and this one had rave reviews so we thought we'd give it a try. Boy am I glad we did! Best Cuban sandwich and roasted pork I've ever tasted! Small little family owned Cuban restaurant and the owners talked with us the whole time. So sweet!

The food is wonderful! Owners are humble friendly and kind, you won't find a more authentic place. If you love Cuban food go to Vargas cafe you won't be disappointed. I will note the place is always busy and seating is limited for singles I'd recommend sitting at the bar. No alcohol is severed, however the owner makes the most deliciously sweet espresso I've ever had.

This place is my favorite restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to this restaurant. when I feel like having a fair dinner, this restaurant comes straightaway to my mind. Great and all sorts of food and a large list of dishes.courteous staff, and agreeable vibes. And very important, the tariff is affordable. I recommend this spot with great pleasure.

Authentic food! Don’t judge a book by its cover by looking at the outside of the establishment. The owners are friendly and welcoming. The dining experience is inclusive with Cuban classic sides and coffee. I rank it right up there with El Ambia on the Space Coast. If they had desserts on the menu, they would be #1. Prices are reasonable as well - considering the quality and amount of food that you get. Highly recommended!
