Lively Cuban spot with excellent empanadas, jibaritos, and welcoming service; good value for the quality, but space is tight and service speed can vary.
Why this grade
Mima's Taste Of Cuba delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality anchored by reliably excellent empanadas, jibaritos, and lechon, paired with warm, attentive service. Occasional consistency lapses with burnt or dry items, combined with a tight dining room that limits group comfort, prevent a higher grade despite fair pricing and genuine neighborhood loyalty.
One caveat: Small interior limits comfort for large parties; patio helps in warm months
