    I enjoyed my visit to Pembroke Pines and I was taken out for dinner by my godmother and her boyfriend. The ambience was colorful but not garish. The food was delicious and the alcoholic beverages were very strong - be careful unless you drink regularly. We had live music and the duo was excellent. I had a wonderful time and will go back the next time Florida.

    We had such a wonderful experience, especially with the live performance and the exquisitely delicious food. We loved the authentic Cuban vibe although the noise level at times was a little too high for us to hear one another. Understandably the service was a little slow for such a busy night but our waitress took very good care of us. Overall, an excellent experience and I recommend anyone visiting this area to definitely try this place for dinner.

    Everything was excellent as expected. The only caveat is that it was chilly out and the heaters were off. Other than that, I'd recommend to anyone who visits Miami.
