I know this sounds like sacriledge, but I wish my mother would have cooked Cuban food like this. I know, I know you aren't supposed to badmouth your mom's cooking, but... the Lechon Asado I had at La Taza over the weekend, was the best. Being Cubana, via Miami, I've eaten my share of Lechon Asado. Though I still think my mom's Ropa Vieja was better, it's the idea that there putting a twist on the dishes that is especially appealing. Try the Costillas de Guayaba...smoky, tangy sauce, really Good! Finished with a Cafe Cubano, my central nervous system thanked me. Want to go back on another Saturday to hear the Cuban Son and get a table on the patio this time. Viva La Taza!
Pros: Serious Mojito, Cool/Cozy Ambience, Interesting Dishes

I have been hearing raves from so many people about this place and we finally made it in. What were we waiting for? We had one of the greatest experiences out we have had in months, and we go out a lot. The food was superb. The service, informed and attentive. It is incredible when you find a place that not only has a large selection of interesting takes on authentic dishes but actually has at least some clue on how to prepare them. I was very impressed with the quality of the food and it was certainly an added bonus to be able to dine outside on the tropical setting of the patio. Something else that most venues in the area are unable to cater to. I would definitely give this place the thumbs up for those looking for delicious food and a greatly welcoming atmosphere.
Pros: Delicious plates, welcoming atmosphere, Hip vibe
Cons: Nada
