These guys have been around for a bit and bring a solid Cuban meal to the table. Service is good I went on one of those very hot days and the AC needed to be turned up a bit more. This is a great spot for a solid Cuban dinner and great Cuban coffee.
Nice low key place to go. Service was good. The food was good but wasn't hot it was move like loop warm. It would have been better if it came out hot.
My daughter and I came to have lunch after church two weeks ago. They were not too packed, servers were very sweet and welcoming. We had a Cuban sandwich and lechon sandwich as well as the appetizer guanthanmero plantain chips and beans. The food was very delicious and flavored well. We also included smoothies with our orders mango and mamey. Overall cute place for a quick lunch.
This place is a hit or miss. This is one of my favorite Cuban sandwiches place when they give you what you pay for. Sometimes they skimp on the meat.
A solid 4.3 stars! The tostones was perfectly crisp and fried to golden brown. I really liked that it was pancake size rather than chip size (commonly served size). The breakfast sandwich with jamon, eggs and cheese was excellent in its fattiness and saltiness. The fresh french bread had a nice soft fluff with a crisp crust. I really enjoyed the cubano sandwich also. I definitely will need to return to try the empanadas and other cuban fare.

Very close to a 🇵🇷 breakfast sandwich. We were the first to arrive. We were greated and seated right away. I orded a ham, fried egg and cheese sandwich. It was perfect, fresh and delicious. The crunch you get from the toasty 🍞 is memorable.
The only thing I would change from this visit is the fact that when we arrived our server,(which we did not know was our server) was outside smoking. So when she arrived at our table all we smelled was cigarette smoke. It is so important to wash hands and freshen up when working at a restaurant. But we still made sure to hit the congas on our way out, to show we enjoyed our meal.
When they tell you the sandwich is "giant" it really is GIANT.. steak, onions, tomato and fried egg. I loved every bite ....the other chicken dish was kinda cold when it got to the table but also good flavor. The rice had bacon in it so the server brought over another plate of beans and rice. Very accommodating.
This place overall is very good
The food was delicious, we tried the ropa vieja dinner and the lechon sandwich, both flavorful. We had appetizers, the Cuban tamal, Maduros, Yuka frita empanadas and papa rellena. To top it off the service was phenomenal.
Nice homey atmosphere. Food is fresh and quick. Had the soup and sandwich combo and it was delicious. Café con leche is a must. Perfect amount of coffe, sugar, just on point.
The owner is the best (Lia) ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 The best customer service I ever had. I highly recommend this place. The food is amazing, and they make you feel like family.
