this is a dream come true. I have been taking my children and family here for at least 35 years, but we’re very saddened to see that they have to go to another restaurant that we did not like as much. We have no more choice now we found it by chance passing by we are so ecstatic the quality of the food customer service is out of this world. Do not miss a chance to come and try the best food in the world.

This place is a lowkey Cuban secret. Food is so good and the waitress Isabelle as kind and helpful as they come. I highly recommend this location for good, reasonably priced food.

We had the Cuban sandwich and the steak sandwich. Both were delicious and not too heavy. They also brought their garlic sauce and a green and habanero sauce which were amazing additions to the meal. Would highly recommend this hidden gem!

We had the steak sandwich and the Cuban sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. We asked for a side of the garlic sauce and they also brought their two home made green and orange sauces, which were amazing. Highly recommend this little hide away to anyone who loves Cuban food!

My first time at this restaurant so didn't know what to expect. But I am glad I decided to try it. And let me tell you it's worth it the chicken cook to perfection juicy and very flavorful. The pork tender it let's in your mouth. The rice cooked the way is is meant to be rich in flavor. The black beans have a smokey tasty flavor. I also order the cortadito cofee and it was amazing. Also order the sangria which was refreshing and hand craft with natural fruit must try it. The waitress very friendly and attentive couldn't ask for more as s Her customer service was beyond the good it was outstanding. I will definitely go back and will recommend it to friends and family.
