Bongos Cuban Restaurant

This Cuban-American restaurant is in the heart of Disney's West Side. Gloria Estefan and husband Emilio created this cafe as the Disney version of old Havana.
The noise, including a Desi Arnaz look-alike who sometimes plays, and tables nearly on top of one another, can make for a very loud dinner.

The meals are worth the wait though!

Our top recommendation was the Filete de pescado a la Catalana - a lightly breaded filet of Fish with a homemade creole sauce and served with white rice and maduros for only $16.95

The thick black bean soup kissed with onion is the appetizer of choice here.

For a main course, many authentic Cuban favorites are here to choose from, but the thin Cuban steak with grilled onions and saffron rice cooked in a paella pan with a variety of seafood and fresh vegetables outshines the rest. Coffee-lovers should sample the thick, dark Cuban coffee.
