LOVE THIS PLACE. Cute family owned business. The environment when we go is always very low-key and welcoming. Food is delicious and made with love AND very reasonably priced.. and their drink specials are UNMATCHED (especially on Tuesdays). 100% recommend stopping here, we like to go before making our Costco trip:)

This place definitely have seen better days. I still remember when they had live music.
A little refreah would go a long way. At least food still has the same quality. Worth patronizing.

It's one of those rare places that transport you to your homeland. From the food, to the drinks, and Niurka (the lady who serves there), everything have a very strong cuban vibe.
