I ordered to go, and I called ahead to order based on pictures of the menu, I used to go back before covid when they had a buffet, and food used to be really good.

It was a great place to taste cuban food but the quality has decreased flavor wise.

Food was definitely not authentic. We got yuca con chicharon , tostones, pollo con arroz and empanadas and everything was awful. Tostones cold not fresh and the same for everything else. They should not be selling food….

Found this place online while staying in an nearby hotel and after visiting Cuba a few years ago had to come and try. Ordered a traditional Cubano sandwich and it was brilliant. Authentic great Cuban taste. Marinated meats with mustard on fresh toasted roll and served with fries. I also ordered a white coffee which was sweet just as I remember. Great lunch. Totally full and totally met my expectations. The location isn’t huge but has seating for maybe 40 people. Service was great even though I sadly don’t speak Spanish the menu was easy and I was tempted by so many dishes. Will definitely go back. Can highly recommend. Parking is easy just outside

Came for the Sunday brunch and was not disappointed! Platanos, chicken, and pulled pork were all delicious – left happy and stuffed!

Food was delicious, music & decor were bright and relaxing, and the service was flawless. We came for a late lunch on a *very* bad day after my friend’s car was stolen, among other things. One bite was all it took to turn our moods around! The ropa vieja & tostones were highlights for me. I’m definitely going back even though it’s not at all in my neighborhood.

Nice. Ambiance and bar. First time here. Went around 3:30 wasn’t busy at all. I ordered the beef empanadas. They had more breading than filling ony a tablespoon size filling. But they were very tasty
