A hidden gem! I came at 1pm pm Saturday. It was empty when I entered and it took a few minutes for someone to come out to seat me. If this happens to you, be patient, it’s worth it. Lol maybe make some noise so someone hears you and comes out. It has a very home style vibe. The decor is actually much more “sit down” than I expected. But everything was tidy and clean.

From the outside, you may never notice this spot. You might be skeptical. Please give this place a chance. A unique restraunt with quality food. There is plenty of space to sit and a semi formal decor inside. The Cuban coffe was amazing so was the Cuban cortado(contains milk). Cuban sandwich hit the spot. Huge amounts for the sides; we ordered Yuca fries and sweet plantains. Everything was full of flavor and authenticity. Be patient and don’t judge the book by its cover.

Got my first cuban sandwich for the first time. Online I was checking out there prices and I saw it was for 7.50 so I placed an order over the phone with fries and when I arrived she said the sandwich itself was almost 12.00 so I cancelled the fries because it would have costed over 15.00 which is too much in my opinion. Friendlier customer service could be improved also. Sandwich was large and delicious did not taste anything new to me but I enjoyed it. Environment is not bad. All in all I enjoyed my sandwich!

This was my first experience eating Cuban food and it was soooo good! I had the palomilla steak with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. I also tried the IronBeer (like a fruity, lighter, Dr. Pepper) and Materva (like a cream soda), both of which were delicious. The steak was on the dry side, but I assume that’s how the very thin slice of steak is supposed to be cooked. Paired with the grilled onions on top, the flavor was very rich and tasty. I’ve never been a fan of plantains, but the way they cook theirs has converted me! I believe they are lightly fried, not overdone, and the slight sweet flavor paired well with the flavor of the steak and beans. The plating of the food was nicely presented.

This is a fantastic under the radar restaurant with excellent food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I’ve been three times and have always had a good experience.

Delicious Cuban food! The place was nice and clean and the customer service was excellent. We had Yuca Fritas that were perfectly fried…sooo good! I had the Pork Fricassee with Congris which had a ton of flavor. (Pro tip: pour the salsa over the Congris!)

Decided to try this Cuban restaurant based on other good reviews and it was very good indeed. I had the chicken fricassee. It was a special for the day and I did attached a picture. It was made fresh and had great seasoning. I do recommend and would be back. Even though they were slow at the time I went, and I know some people think that’s usually not a good sign. I would still recommend to try it.

Food: The food is so wonderful here I was hesitant to give a review because I hate to see this place get so busy that I woukd have to wait for a table to get a meal.

My taste buds are still singing from our last visit! After my meal, I was knocked into a food coma. Everything was just so yummy. I would eat here every day if I could afford it!
