I absolutely adore Flaco's I visit Gainesville annually for The Fest and I MUST eat at Flaco's while I am there. The portions and the prices are fantastic. All of the food comes out tasty and filling. The staff is always friendly and I love the touch screen ordering system.
Had a few meals from here while I was in GNV for Fest. Cuban, Ropa Vieja, pastries. I love Cuban food and could have eaten here multiple times a day over the weekend. Service seemed slow but I guess that is to be expected with how packed the shop was. If I'm ever in town not during Fest I'd love to come and have a real sit down meal.
A great place to get a bowl or tacos. The pastries are also fresh and served with love. Highly recommend!
Dank Cuban, would recommend you eat it. They sell alcohol too, so why wouldn't you go?
Flaco's has some of the best Cuban food in Gainesville, and it's one of the only restaurants downtown open really late at night. I stopped by around 10:30pm for a super late dinner, and they still had plenty of delicious food cooking and a line to the door. I tried the ropa arepas and the chicken plantain arepas, which were both cooked to perfection. The chicken plantain one had a unique sweetness to it. I also got the cheese pastry for dessert because a friend said I just had to try it. I liked it for sure, but I can't say that it really wowed me. It may have been sitting out a little bit. The only real negative thing I have to say is that it was a bit dirty with all the open tables having a little bit of old food left on them and the occasional fly, but it is summer in Florida. Overall, I think this place is worth a try. Thanks, Flaco's!
