I came to try their Cubano (Miami) sandwich and it did not disappoint. 5- stars there. I also tried the chicken kebabs. They were decent and flavorful, but seemed like it was missing something that I can’t quite put my finger on; overall very good. 4-stars here

We are new to Cuban food. We have been twice in the last week. The sandwiches were so good we came back for a dinner. The pork chops was good and the BBQ sauce was amazing. The.plaintains we’re delicious. The staff were great. We look forward to coming back.

The food was excellent. I feel like the pricing was more than fair for the amount of food I received. Everything was tried was delicious with great flavor. The Tapas appetizer combo, shrimp ceviche, original Cubano sandwich and the beef empanadas, even their fresh cut fries were great. This is my first experience eating Cuban food so I dont know what its SUPPOSED to taste like, but it tasted delicious and that’s what matters to me.

We order the “Tapa combo” as an appetizer, we’re is the Cuban flavor?they put “Mayo ketchup” for the appetizers they have Cholula as their hot sauce (come on you can do better tha that.) The service was terrible maybe they are understaffed on weekends. We ordered different items on the menu and out of all four dinners we ordered the only item that it was good was the lechón and the plátano maduro the rest of the dinners were all bad yuca was too salty tostones we’re not fresh. Sorry for my comment I hope you guys can do better.

Food was good just pricy. I did feel like I was being rushed. Several times food was being taken away and we weren’t done. Other than Slightly rushed and a little expensive it was nice to visit.
