This place gives excellent service and delightful meals. My favourite restaurant ever. The food came out quick and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.

Great Cuban food in a great atmosphere. I'm updating this to warn customers that

This restaurant is closed. There is a sign saying that they are looking for new premises. I have given them 1 star because they are still accepting reservations through Open Table when they are closed. This is really lousy and shows little regard for customers.

I celebrated my nomination this evening in this fine place. Well it was a pleasant evening and the place was indeed one of the reasons for this fruitful evening. The team collaborated in a lovely manner, the food was very good and my friends were so happy. We shall absolutely visit again for more celebrations. thanks very much.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The drinks were good as well.

I'm still surprised they haven't gotten they're act together, dinner time restrooms still as filthy as ever, they just opened when we arrived; they never cleaned or dumped garbage. Wasn't sure if was from day group but it's dinner time and they just opened; garbage cans overflowing. So disgusting . Service continues to be horrible; with not many people there yet at dinner; constantly had to try to get the servers attention. Doesn't smile doesn't greet and don't count on getting a thank you for coming. Foods getting worse. Mushroom sandwich dry and cold, my friends soup was just okay, for the price literally barely any corn in it; calamari tasteless and plantain chips seemed old and chewy. My friend ordered but the rest of us decided not to eat at all; ordered drinks. Only go there for drinks and music but if Mio Allstars didn't play. Wouldn't go at all. Foods nothing to write home about and service continues to go down hill. Clean up your place; get new staff

disclosure: we are from Miami and have had a ton of Cuban food. We ordered the vegetarian platter, the plantain nachos and 1 order of mariquitas. To drink, we ordered a half pitcher of red sangria. It was a bit of a wait but we eventually got the pitcher and shortly after arrived the food. The platter was warm at best and the mariquitas were stale and chewy. The only thing salvaging the dinner was the vibes, which were due to the live salsa band playing in the front of the restaurant. Most tables do not get a view of them though which means there's a giant group of standing people by the bar. Perhaps the meat dishes here were better but in my experience, quality was lacking. TIP: we ordered half pitcher but then noticed that 2x glasses of sangria were bigger than our half pitcher. don't make our mistake.

I visit this outstanding place once a month because I enjoy the ambiance that is characterizes this restaurant. The personel is very loyal and well trained. The service is remarkablywonderfully efficient. Most important, the food they serve is exceptionaly good. I came more than once and I was never disappointed. The rate is honest. I highly suggest this place to all my friends.

Legit Cuban food in California isn’t always easy to find. Habanas hit the spot for me. The shrimp ceviche is so good I have gotten it two days in a row.

Came here on a Friday nite to support baby cakes friend who was playing drums with the band. It was a fun atmosphere, good latin music, great crowd. The venue itself is kind of small. Bartenders were nice and made great margaritas. We did not eat here. Only came for the music and a few drinks. Hopefully next time we will be able to sit and have dinner.

Decent Cubano food, but overpriced for what you get. Empanadas are $11.75 for TWO. Churrasco steak was tender, but only about an 8-9 ounce portion for $19.95 -- most restaurants will serve at least a 12 ounce steak at that price. Chimichurri was flavorful and lemony. Coconut shrimp was a much better choice than the empanadas -- six jumbo prawns for $14.95. Ropa vieja very authentic in taste, but needed to be cooked longer to be a bit more tender. Cuban sandwich was also on point, but $10.95 is a couple of dollars high. Prices are most likely influenced by local minimum wage, which is higher than statewide minimum. Ordered in restaurant for takeout, but wasn't even offered a glass of water while I waited. No one else in the place at the time (2pm on Sunday 11/17).
