Very authentic Cuban restaurant that serves up all the standards in top quality. I had the Masas de Puerco Fritas, it’s fried chunks of pork. Comes with White rice black beans and plantains. $15.95.

Some of the best Cuban I’ve found in LA. Ropa Vieja is worth a return. Need to try the sandwiches next time around, they looked great!

The bread really wasn’t good at all– everything else was very good. I came for the ropa vieja, and then looked at the vita beef, then chuletas in ajo, ultimately I had chuletas with pineapples and cherries, in the Ant had the chicken. The rice and beans in the red beans were outstanding. The decaff cafe con leche, which they call a latte, was dreamy, that took me right back to cuvan place in Florida and New York . We’ll be back, next time I’ll get the fish Everything was so good except the bread.

Aji Limon is the best Peruvian restaurant in Orange county. Located at the Buena Park and Cypress border. The Lomo Saltado is the best dish there. You got to have the cilantro green sauces that go great with the Lomo.

Delicious, delicious, delicious. We drove by Redondo Beach to walk and eat. Everything was scary full (like “ehar COVID-19?”). We drove back to Downey and for some reason I said “Let’s try Florida” and it was the best decision!!! Their arroz con pollo and oxtail are simply delicious!!!

The food is really good, it just takes a long time to get your food, at least 30 minutes wait and the restaurant doesn’t look so clean like we were expecting.

They have raised the prices a bit which is expected with all the changes happening to the economy. The food is still delicious and the portions are a good size. They have changed the menu items a bit as well but it didn’t bother me too much. It still tastes like I’m eating the best home cooked meal. I will still be coming here.
