Absolutely incredible food, and friendly service. The fried yuca was hands-down the best we have ever had. But we also ordered the croqueta sandwich, rice, beans, papa rellena, and guava/cheese empanadas. You must try it!
We wanted a place more where the locals eat and also have something different than much of the food fare served in pigeon forge.
Smokies came up in a quick search and it was a delight.
Tucked away in strip mall setting, it is on the main stretch, but it’s easy to miss.
Once inside, you are transported to a place that is aesthetically much different than most places in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area.
The food was amazing and as authentic as one could make it. I was simple, I had the Cuban sandwich. It was as delicious and did not disappoint in the slightest.
The rest of our party was as equally impressed. Sadly our hunger clouded our ability to realize we all failed to take photos of our food. But I assure you it’s amazing.
If you are looking for something a little different than fried food and typical southern dishes, this is definitely a place worth checking out, plus with so many places with long waits, this local spot was a change of fresh air.
I would totally go back for more.
We ordered the Roja Vieja (in picture) and the meat was super tender and the flavor was savory! Their beef and cheese empanada dough was perfect, I need the recipe. And the croquette sandwich was a must. We came twice while visiting Tennessee. Must stop in.
Stopped here for lunch, greated at the door. Waitress was great answered all of our questions. Loved the food wish there was one at home.
I just have to say it's like going back on time with this place. The food is so good, clean, and organized. Great portions, the empanadas (empanadillas for us) are so good. I'm not going to talk about the coffee, you have to try it yourself. I recommend this place 100%.
Home away from home meal! You will get your money's worth here in quality, portions, and service. My family and I had a variety of dishes with the intent of tasting as much of their menu as possible, including: Ropa vieja, Bistec palomilla, Picadillo, Masitas, Cuban Sandwich, variety of fresh smoothies and sides (tostones, rice and beans, and yuca). My only gripe was that the meats could have used a bit of extra seasoning BUT BUT that's our personal taste. I get why it is better for a business to go lite on the salt, plus it is healthier. Otherwise, the grilled meats were cooked to perfection. Nothing a few slices of lime can't fix to enhance the flavor of grilled meats. Their smoothies were spot on! The highlight of our meal was an unexpected side dish that my family is still talking about, the yuca with onions! Whoever made it knows what they are doing. Buen Provecho! Enjoy!

Everything. That's what's good here. We had the Cuban sandwich, rice, beans, beef empanada, guava juice, sweet plantains, and guava pastries. Every time we tried another item, we were impressed. I'm from Florida and the tastes and smells remind me of home 💜
Food is amazing! We had the pulled pork combo, the fried yuca and the pulled pork sandwich, and they were so delicious!!!!!! Not to mention the guava pastry! We absolutely loved everything we ordered!
The staff is very professional and friendly! Definitely will visit again if we found ourselves in the Smoky Mountains.
Delicious authentic Cuban dishes here! The masitas de puerco are something special. Excellent black beans and fried plantains fresh yuca (yum a dum dum) also on offer. Generous portions. Me gustan los sabores latinos.
Most delicious restaurant around here! The food is so fresh and authentic! The empanadas were out is this world. I’ll be back here every single time I’m in Pigeon Forge!
