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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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,...

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...

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....
