Oh my goodness, this restaurant is now my favorite Cuban place and it is local. Before my family and I would travel down to Gainesville for Cuban food but this place has them beat. On top of great food, their staff is awesome and food came out right away with no wait.

Just attended the Grand Opening of the Orange Park restaurant. It was kind of chaotic for the staff (due to grand opening), but the staff were all delightful & attentive. It's a family business and they genuinely make the customer feel like family. The food was amazing and the flan & cortadito coffee were the perfect finish. I can't wait to try the breakfast! Very happy you chose Orange Park!!!
