Mi Apa Latin Cafe Gainsville

My husband and I were on a road trip from Ozark, AL. We stopped here on our way to our first stop, Tampa FL. The establishment was nice and clean. Service was also great. The food wasn't as great as we hoped. It was hot, but the potatoes in my stew were undercooked and too hard to eat. I asked for a replacement with what I ordered but it was sold out. We came later in the day. The manager suggested some other replacement options and and I chose one of those. I didn't like it either. It was greasy and bland. My husband said his food was bland as well. My husband did order and enjoy the chicken empanada, though.

Fantastic across the board. I've gone through their drive-thru and dined in, and the service is always fast and friendly. The food is delicious, the interior design is colorful and comfortable. From my table, I could see behind the service counter, and I was so impressed by how clean it was- from the shelves to the floor, spotless! I recommend any of the cuban sandwiches, and the tres leches for dessert. I love eating here!

As a Cuban American, I am picky when it comes to authentic cuisine. I felt like for a chain restaurant in a modern environment, the food still had the roots of true Cuban. The vaca frita, mango juice, empanadas and lechón did not disappoint. The servers were all bilingual in Spanish and English as well.

Our server Juanca was amazing. So attentive and friendly. The soup came lukewarm but it was quickly replaced with a hot bowl of soup when I requested it. The steak plate, pork plate, empanadas were delicious. For a sweet treat I highly recommend the Cafe Bombon.

, We have had good food… But good food, fast like this… This place Stephen got my attention, this is not my first time meeting here, but if I see one, I always at least buy something even if it’s stick out sometime just to have it as back up, they definitely know how to reach my taste buds. I ate my dinner, and I bought some extra to take with me… I appreciate this spot, they even have another one. That’s not too far with drive-through, so they’ll also have my business when I’m under the run lol
