Melissa Reyes
Came here for lunch with my sister and bestie. The restaurant is tiny but very cute. Water was self serve and you had to order using the scan code, which I do not mind but at the end when you pay for you food they charge you a 12$ fee!! That to me is ridiculous and then they want you to tip as well? First time ever seeing this. The app was convenient and easy to use but costumers should not be charged for it, especially if you don’t have an option.

I love this place. Great food, seems authentic to me. They have happy hour and their drinks are tasty. Love potion 4 plus 5 is amazing . You sit down and order on your phone, I like that too. Makes everything super efficient. I will be back again. It’s a type of food I crave the most

A great place to eat.. the food was great, lots of flavor. The atmosphere was wonderful and the service was friendly. my first time with a contactless restaurant, they don’t take cash, but that didn’t take away from the experience

Portions are starting to be much smaller than how they once were. I would say it’s decent now, unfortunately not the gem it once was.

Delicious food and great drinks at really reasonable prices, especially if you go during happy hour. The default is to order and pay off ur mobile phone but if that isn’t your vibe you can just ask one of the friendly servers and they will definitely be happy to give you traditional table service.

It was my first time trying authentic Cuban food so although I found it absolutely delicious, I have nothing to compare it to-hence my rating. If you’re use to post COVID, you order & pay with a credit card by scanning the QR code at your table. Some people don’t like their beverage served in a plastic cup but I love it, you can take it with you. The food was flavorful and delicious and the service was fast and friendly. Hubby and I will be back!

The place is cozy and has pretty awesome decor. The service was great! However the food and drinks were mediocre and it felt like the main cook wasn’t in.

Can I just say amazing experience! I normally don’t ever go to a restaurant to order because I hate to wait. But they are so quick and effective, and have great customer service. I had Brian, help me order my food and he was so kind. Definitely a great person to have at your establishment. Besides the amazing service I had, the food was just as amazing. I tried the ropa vieja and a chicken empanada. Both were amazing! Definitely would recommend, will be coming back!!
