What our guests are saying
Little place with big flavour, friendly service and great food. I ordered the lechón plate with white rice, black beans and plantains/maduros. It was delicious; I can't wait to go back again.

I love this place!! The food is always excellent! I just wish that the drinks were a little stronger. After work I need something a little stronger. I love the Mima’s Punch.

What a find! The food, vibe and service – all amazing. Super kid friendly with tonnes of options for every age and palate. The cuban sandwich was the best I’ve ever had.
