"Went got a breakfast . Ordered a full breakfast for $8.99 . The full breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs with bits of ham, potatoes , Cuban toast cafe con leche which is the Cuban version of coffee mix of warm milk with expresso) as described.They served breakfast only to disappoint. The breakfast was small amount of scrambled eggs with curly fries that seem to have come out of a frozen bag . The Cuban toast hardly had butter and cut to half the size of a normal Cuban toast . The cafe. Con leche was made a few minutes after the plate of scrambled with curlies was given . Meaning the breakfast was cold by the time coffee /milk cafe con leche was given . The couple of meat pastries added were $6 .With Hispanic decent this is not what you can really call Cuban or Hispanic.The service people don’t speak English . When you sit down to eat you realize there’s a freezer full of beers and a lg rack full of wines .Sadly this is what they choose to portray as a Cuban Bakery . Folks this not a typical authentic Cuban Bakery. This is a shameful imitation.Breakfast was close to $30 and it was definitely nothing to write home about . This is commercial chain imitation of what a Hispanic Cuban Bakery .I should have paid attention to the fact a bakery should not be in the business of selling beer wineObviously a current Cuba mentality of serving beer w/ breakfastDennys would have been a better choice as at this place the Hispanic Cuban experience is sold expensive not the real dealAmericans walk away with the wrong impression of what a Real Cuban Bakery is like .

"I am extremely disappointed with the quality and quantity of my recent experience at Banana King. I have been a customer for 15 years, but the restaurant's standards have noticeably declined. I was shocked to discover that they have changed the fish sandwich, which used to be served on a pressed Cuban bread with real fried fish. The new version is mostly baked and made with a generic frozen fish, costing about $8. It was overcooked and lacked flavor, making it even worse than McDonald's fish sandwich. The chicken sandwich also tasted artificial and lackluster. Additionally, the green hot sauce has been altered and now tastes cheap compared to the previous version made with fresh ingredients. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to Banana King in the future. However, I must note that the staff were still friendly and accommodating."

"Food is ok . Sorry to say this but my last experience with the staff was not pleasant . A woman with small eyes and dark hair that is in charge of the register is a piece of work . Gave the wrong change in one occasion I thought it was her mistake but then my daughter told me the same happened to her and last time I bought something gave her a $5 so she could take $2 for tips . She gave me back $2 with the most fresh face I ever seen , like she is used to do this . Its not about the loss of my dollar but about the freshness of this woman pretty sure he has done it before . Owner beware this is not ethical ."

"that was my wife, I'm going to this place for the first time. I chose a number waiting for her to be called. my number was skipped. When I reported the cash register, she visited me. I had to ask several times to repeat myself. When I looked at her another cash, she would then draw attention to me with a attitude. she was disgusting rude woman watching everything from the chair. when I check my reception, the names of the things I bought were another name 3$4 more than what the menu says. I brought it to the bank that visited me again, with a posture says: "that is the name in the system that have changed prices". that's wrong. the food quality was super poor. my wife was very disrespected. my food came before my caffe con leche (expected 10 minutes for one hot drink. the only good was the waiting time for the food. it wasn't too long (they were busy. my wife, I'm not going back to this facility."

"My non-vegan boyfriend and I like to eat. He's a chef, and I'm a total foodie. We agreed upon El Mason for a date the other night. He was totally pleased with his tortilla soup (very cool serving style with the meat and soup separate and you pour it over yourself and he also got the grilled new york steak and started out with the classics from Spain. (He was very pleased with his meal. His food seemed like they took time to plan the flavors, were I got the Meson Favorites Sampler and I am very unsatisfied with the 1.amount of food for $19 is not worth it 2. I would have been fine paying $19 for a mini plate if it were good, but everything left me hanging. The stew was compromised of watery veggies like squash. I'm the type of person that likes veggies like that to be left a bit crisp. There are plenty of other veggies to put into a stew that are great sort of mushy, but squash is not one of them. The plantains in the sampler were okay, but just again, nothing to them. The thing that gets me more is that in the menu they talk about how the El Meson family goes and travels to discover more Latin American dishes and bring diversity to the menu, however like the other commenter said, NOTHING has changed in 20 years. So that tells me they are blatantly fibbing in their menu. This makes no sense to me. If you are gong to claim that, do it. If you want to highlight the same dishes for 20 years, then your claim to fame would be your loyalty to laziness. Bottom line: This is a great restaurant for non-vegans or someone who only wants a liquid diet (the mojito is good , not good for for vegans. The pricing is absolutely ridiculous for the type of vegan food they presented. Updated from previous review on Wednesday August 27, 2014"

"The food is usually good. I've been buying food from them for a long time. However, lately, they have refused to serve me because I have certain allergies, and I put a note with my order. However, this hadn't been a problem in the past. The last 3 times I tried to place an order, the restaurant said they were out of the dish I ordered. Today, I called from my husband's phone after my order was canceled. Only to find out that they did have what I tried to order.They also have a couple of waitresses with a nasty attitude. Not common for the type of people the restaurant hires.My family and I have been buying and eating food there for years. I would hate to see this new trend continue. Our family is not going back for starters"

"I've been here on three different occasions and I've been impressed each time. Yes, as others have said, the service is slow, but in my opinion it is worth it. This is not a dine and dash kind of place. They do have carryout, which I've seen a couple people do while I've waiting. I've eaten breakfast here twice. I ordered the philly omelette and it was superb. The quantity was plentiful and the quality was decent. The coffee separates Cafe Caramba from many of the other breakfast joints. The espresso is delicious and much better than your typical diner coffee. I usually order a cafe con leche and I've enjoyed it every time. The cafe cubano is always a win as well. My favorite part of this restaurant is the ambiance. Yes it's in a strip mall. The decor is simple, but it's the family atmosphere I love. Kids are usually sitting at the table working on homework. There's a big TV with soccer on and usually a couple older gentleman watching a match. You feel at home like a family when you walk in. I love living near Cafe Caramba."

"I am reluctant to leave a one-star review for a restaurant I frequent, but I feel it is necessary. I often call this place to place an order because it is conveniently located close to my house. However, they never answer the phone and when I go in person, there is often nobody attending to customers. Additionally, the items I order are frequently unavailable. In my opinion, it is better to visit another establishment to avoid frustration."

"I ordered the Pollo a la Parrilla, which was served with a salad, black beans, and cilantro rice. Everything was fresh, made to order, and very flavorful. The prices are similar to those at other restaurants, making it a good value for a meal. They also have weekend specials posted on a board at the entrance, but be aware that they tend to sell out quickly. One thing to note is that there isn’t a soda machine; they only offer canned or bottled beverages. I was hoping for tap water, which isn’t available, just so you're aware. Additionally, the background music was a bit loud, which could be something to consider. I had been looking forward to my visit after seeing them featured in an Instagram post, and I would have rated them five stars. However, when I asked one of the ladies at the counter if they sold chicharron by weight, she was a bit rude and simply said it was only available as a whole piece, which felt unnecessary. Fortunately, Melisa’s excellent service and the quality of the food made up for that interaction. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re in the area and looking for a satisfying meal."

She didnt even greet us in the first place. I felt discriminated even though Coffee and food was great i wont be coming back ."

"I absolutely love this restaurant! It brings back memories of my family—happy, loud, and full of sisterly love. I wasn’t quite sure what I ordered at first, but once I saw the display, I was eager to try everything. Everything looked and smelled amazing, and the food tasted just as wonderful! The coffee was divine! We had our first round on the terrace, and I found myself going back for more. I recommend checking the menu online beforehand to help you decide what to order, as it can be overwhelming to choose when you arrive. The authenticity of this place is what makes it so special!"

"They don’t follow simple instructions. They rather stare at you like you have snakes coming out of your head.Been driving passed here for months. I wanted to see if they sold empanadas. I asked twice for the hot sauce that is usually served with it. I was told twice it was in the bag. Open the bag, nothing in there."

"We started with some appetizers: the Venezuelan beef empanadas and tequeños. They were fresh, hot, tasty, and cooked to perfection. The cilantro sauce that accompanied the empanadas was the closest you can get to authentic Venezuelan green sauce, known as Guasacaca. Extra points for the sauce, as it was delicious! We also ordered a cortadito and a café latte, both of which were very good. For our main dishes, we had two arepas: the beef arepa and the pernil arepa. While it’s not typical to add pico de gallo, the flavor was still delicious. The beef arepa is made with shredded beef—just a heads up, it consists of thin chunks of meat that are incredibly flavorful. I was truly impressed by how delicious it was. The crunchiness of the arepa, its texture, and how well it was cooked were just perfect, and the portion size is generous. So think twice if you’re planning on having two arepas! Overall, I highly recommend this place. It’s clean, the food is very authentic and extremely delicious, and the staff is incredibly welcoming and efficient, making sure your food comes out quickly. Thank you for everything, Ana! Gracias por todo!"

"beautiful ambiente and stylish guests who dressed me a bit under in my casual dress and cardigan. the bartender upstairs was great. is in a dose and you don't get a glass. the service below was perfunctory. they were from arrepas, so I ordered the beginning of the day. the taste was nice, but so salty I couldn't eat much of it, and normally I like salt. the music was loud, although it was not so loud inside that I had to scream, so I rated it as moderate. this could be a cool place for cocktails with friends to go, but I can not recommend it for eating."
