Found this gem while looking for something to eat & let me just say this place was amazing. Our waiter was great. The food amazing. The empanadas just wish it was 2 for 4 but flavor amazing. The natural juice and the smoothies 10/10 recommend.

I usually order from here via Doordash, but have dined-in once or twice. Dine-in service is super friendly. Doordash orders have been prepared quickly. The food either way has been great, and portions are generous. GREAT Cuban sandwich, but their Ropa Vieja sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've had, of any style, anywhere, ever, in my entire life. Give this place a visit.

Exactly what I was looking for. Tasty, well seasoned Cuban/hispanic food. It satisfied my craving. The waitress was very nice and very accommodating while I practiced my Spanish. I highly recommend.

Clean and nice atmosphere Loved the mango and this picture doesn’t do the espresso Justice since it’s been sipped on. Sweet Plantains are very yummy!

I had the pork asado with yuca y tostones. It is not a fast food location, but the wait was so worth it. Delicious

Cuban style lechon was juicy and flavorful, rice was perfectly cooked, and the boiled yuca was cooked fantastic. Added a side of black beans, which were perfectly seasoned! I also ordered a mango/gauva fresh juice, which was awesome!!! Service was great, and sitting outside was a plus on a nice day.. Thank you for a good meal!!!

Came here for breakfast. The service was excellent & the food great. All of us enjoyed the coffee very much. My son was stoked about them having sapote shake. Tasted like home for him. I really appreciated the fact that the food was served on real plates & real cutlery. Loved it. Would always return.
