- SSavannaVIPCentral Kentucky •13 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOmigosh. This place was DELICIOUS. It was our first time, certainly won't be our last. First, the bread is FIRE. We loved the guava butter. We shared the chicken empanadas, which were very tasty and had a lot of filling. Husband and I both had the picanha steak, which was cooked perfectly, very tender and so flavorful. The black beans were literally the best I ever had. Our son has a Cubano, which was huge and had a lot of meat. I wanted dessert, but no room. Someday, though.More infoLa Bodeguita De MimaPrice: Moderate• Cuban• East Market St - NuLu•4.9
- JJeannieLas Vegas •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe service was over the top! We had the barrel cut filet cooked medium rare with the bourbon peppercorn sauce with a lobster tail add on and it was the best steak I’ve ever had. We also had the lobster Mac & Cheese which was over the top! We finished off the meal with the bread pudding and it was the best EVER!
