"The best thing I had was the yellow rice that came as a side with my entree. We were hungry, and my partner chose the Cuban Island Cafe after a quick search of what was close. Remember in the Indiana Jones movie where the guy rapidly ages and shrivels up, and then the old Grail Knight looks at Indy and says, he chose poorly ? Yeah, it was like that. Our server was definitely a character. The rest of the visible staff seemed to be fairly young, and not a single person there had any concept of conversational volume, AKA Inside Voice . Food came fairly quickly, but with missing ingredients. And let 's just be real it wasn 't very good. The Ceviche was very heavy on veggies, and was just chopped up shrimp, missing the avocado it was supposed to have, and overall just a disappointment. My partner also had the chicken soup, which she had no real complaints about. I had the churrasco, with black beans, yellow rice, three pieces of sweet fried plantains and some yucca frita. The chimichurri sauce was good, and the yellow rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The rest? Not so much. The steak itself was overcooked, and not exactly a generous portion. Where they WERE generous was the seasoning of the steak. I wish I had been served the amount of steak they seasoned for. There were a bunch of photos of the point in Key West showing people who visited the 90 miles to Cuba marker. Even a little decorative replica of it right by the register. When you see the pics on the wall, and the little replica on the counter, listen to what you 're being told. 90 miles is probably a lot closer than they got to real Cuban food."
