We went there in March 2003 and I'm afraid we were very disappointed. We don't know much about Cuban food but we didn't enjoy it. I started with a salad and DH had a shrimp cocktail. The salad was the most unimpressive one I've ever seen. Icy cold like it had been sitting in a refrigerator forever with iceberg lettuce and some raw peas on top and the "Vinagrette" dressing seemed to me to be Wishbone Italian dressing. DH's shrimp cocktail was fine. For our entree's, I had ordered a shrimp dish which was supposed to be cooked in some kind of garlic sauce and it appeared that they just took some of the cocktail shrimp and dipped them in this sauce because they looked EXACTLY like my husbands shrimp cocktail (just like boiled shrimp - no sign that they were cooked in the sauce) with the sauce (a clear, sour tasting sauce) poured over them and they were only lukewarm. My husband had Mahi Mahi and it was simply the dryest, most overcooked piece of fish. Our server was very nice and actually had made some explanations and suggestions on the menu at the beginning and perhaps it was our fault for not going with his suggestions. Unfortunately, we were very unhappy with our meal that night and actually went out later on for a nice dessert elsewhere.
I think that you would feel very comfortable as far as the children are concerned. Very casual atmosphere - not quiet where you might feel uncomfortable with kids. I seem to remember a party seated near us with young children. However, after our experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.
