User Reviews of Florida Restaurant

Yelp.com Review - by matt m.

4.0 of 5 stars. Great closely authentic Cuban Food, while it's certainly no Verailles....the pork dishes have been juicy and filling. As with any Caribbe style restaurant they can mainly be judged on their plantains...

Yelp.com Review - by troy h.

3.0 of 5 stars. Tasty. Quite tasty! This place gives Versailles a run for the money. The menu is smaller, and so is the location. But the food sticks out. Cuban Sampler: was good. Empanada was full of flavor....

Yelp.com Review - by Moises A.

3.0 of 5 stars. Just another joint I visited after having a Cubano food craving. I've driven past this place and have never seen it. Maybe because the old school McDonald's is on the corner and distracts me. The...

Yelp.com Review - by Mike F.

3.0 of 5 stars. Versailles in a mini-version.....Tasty shrimp drenched in butter and rice with butter and blackened beans. Not too shabby but there is a calling for another try as their menu is quite large and my...

Yelp.com Review - by Rod L.

5.0 of 5 stars. I am a huge fan of Florida. The place is definitely not flashy (gotta love those mermaid mirrors!), but that doesn't matter, the food is awesome! My Cuban friends who have come here definitely say its...

Yelp.com Review - by Alex A.

4.0 of 5 stars. Florida is the Cuban version of your favorite local Mexican restaurant.As Roxana S. puts it, it is very similar to Versailles in LA (La Cienega just South of Pico - if memory serves me).There is a lot...

Yelp.com Review - by Roxana S.

3.0 of 5 stars. Yes very much like Versailles. They've got the paintings outside with Cubans roasting a live pig : / .The food was good but very bad for vegetarians. they put bacon in the beans so no protein for you....

Yelp.com Review - by Tina-Marie L.

3.0 of 5 stars. I decided to try this place thanks to the reviews of my fellow Yelpers. I had driven by it many times and had been turned off a bit by the bright neon lights and the big sun donning shades. But if...

Yelp.com Review - by Dan H.

4.0 of 5 stars. If you want superb no frills Cuban food in a chaos free (hello Versailles) atmosphere this place is a must. Get over the old diner exterior, once you enter and settle in you will feel welcomed and...

Yelp.com Review - by Gaspar G.

5.0 of 5 stars. Having surrounded myself with a number of friends whose parents are Cuban, I have learned to appreciate and identify an authentic Cuban meal when I am presented with one, and let me tell you, this...

Yelp.com Review - by Grace L.

4.0 of 5 stars. Over the years, there have been several restaurants that have opened in the location where Florida is now. None of them stuck. A few months. Maybe a year. They were all gone. UNTIL Florida. It's kind...

Yelp.com Review - by David C.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've never been a fan of communism... Cuba, or Fidel. But ever since I started dating a Cuban, I've been to Floridas a time or two. It's a nice little mom and pop shop with the basics. Good food,...

5.0 of 5 stars. My co-worker and I stumbled on this place by accident, and the only reason we stopped in was the name: FLORIDA! My co-worker and I recently moved to California from Florida, and this place was like...

Yelp.com Review - by Kunney T.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place has character.- They run on island time, which means SLOW. It took 12 minutes to get my drink. I know. I timed it.- Spanish is the official language here. I'm pretty flattered that they...

Yelp.com Review - by Laura C.

5.0 of 5 stars. At one time in my life I was fortunate enough to live 2 blocks away from Versailles. I was a hard core devotee. But then I moved away and did not eat there anymore. Then I stumbled upon Florida....
