“ What a great spot! We are in from out of state. We saw Paladar while driving around the area and went in for dinner after reading reviews. The dinner is sit down service and the restaurant is small so we had to sit along the bar wall. The place was busy because the food is so good. The service was friendly and welcoming. We saw many choices on the menu we would enjoy, but we spotted the Cuban style burger and figured we would enjoy it. We have an authentic Cuban diner near our home and enjoy the standard Cuban sandwich and wanted something different. It was delicious and enjoyable. We would like to try other menu options when we stop in next time. Despite the crowd, the service was prompt and the food came out quickly - hot and delicious. Well worth a stop and we plan on visiting this special place again. ”

“ Great spot & as a fellow Cuban it was great to have a bite of our own food up north. Only reason I gave it a 4 start instead of 5, was because of the gentlemen who rung us up yesterday morning. Attitude, and gave us croquetas that were squashed. When we asked for 3 new ones... he gave us some. Until we realized he just gave us the wrong flavor because he didn't want to wait for the jamón ones. Then whistled at me like I was a dog? lol anyways, great food, great environment, and all around felt like home. ”

“ We were really looking forward to going to El Paladar Cuban eatery to have a Cuban sandwich and coffee. We were coming from Saint Augustine, returning to Orlando and decided to take route number one just to go to this special place. The location is good and their decorations inside and the general restaurant eating area was very good. I find, however, that they were a little pricey for the food they were offering. The Cuban sandwich was not what we expected as it was packaged in such a way that when you opened it up, it all came apart. Not really the Cuban sandwich that I would've expected from a Cuban restaurant. The people however, were very friendly, very accommodating and very pleasant to deal with. We did not complain about the sandwich because we felt that it is an up-and-coming restaurant and they know what they are doing. Although pricey, we did enjoy our meal. ”

“ I happened to stop by this Cuban eatery along my trek home. The El Cubano to my surprise was nice and crisp, yet soft almost like melt in your mouth while chewing. The Espresso coffee was right enough for my liking as coffee gives me too much the jitters most times. The employees were kind and had a smile when spoken to. I may have came on an off day for business(Wednesday) but not too busy during lunch hours. The colors popped quite a bit on the walls. 5 stars. ”

“ Food, Service, Ambiance. Paladar's has its and more. The coffee (and yes I am a coffee/caffeine nut) is some of the best I've had. From Miami to St. Pete from New Orleans to San Francisco. A true Cubano expresso. And to go with that awesome cup + awesome sweets . Give Paladar a try and yourself a treat. ”

“ Amazing gem hidden inside Anastasia Island. This is a great place to grab some great coffee and breakfast food. We found this place during the second to last day of our trip to Florida. Inside looks gorgeous with an amazing mural and various decoration. Their pastries showcase is mouth watering and fresh. During our first visit, we grabbed a café cubano and got to try the Spaniard and Cuban American sandwich. The coffee was strong and tasty. Foods were fresh and delicious. During the second visit, got to try the el cubano sandwich, which was tasty and fresh. Overall, this is an amazing bakery and eatery to grab some great breakfast. Will definitely come back again. ”

“ Service was fast, Relaxed environment, Food & Coffee was Phenomenal! Authentic Cuban food. Must stop if you're in the area- We grabbed breakfast but everything looked fresh & Delicious! ”
