“ I've eaten at this place a good amount and they never disappoint. I ordered El Cubanito Burger,papa Rellena,Carne Con Papa, Empanadas The burger was massive and packed with the meats and seasoned greatly as the papa rellena looks interesting when first trying it but I love it. I got two empanadas as one was beef and the other was chicken. Not my favorite but it's edible, the Carne con papa is delicious whenever. Next day if you want but I really enjoy it as it comes off as family home cooked meals and such a hardy dish that the meat is tender and flavored right. ”

“ Visited last year as I was on vacation. This time around I'm a resident. Love the food (who doesn't like Cuban food?). Staffing has a great attitude, the food is as good as your grandma can make. The Cuba Libre was delicious and strong. I highly recommend. ”
“ Service was attentive, friendly and welcoming. The mojito maracuya was refreshing and strong. The lechon asado and cubano were flavorful. With good amount of meat. The fried red snapper was lightly fried and loved that it was not too greasy or heavy. The patecones and congri were great sides to the main dishes. ”
