My wife is half Cuban on her mother side, and I can attest that this spot is the real deal. Not only is the ropa vieja was perfect! The Yuca fries were awesome, the empanadas were fantastic, and the black beans paired with everything. The rice was warm and buttery, and the service was so fast I was shocked the food was ready. Those place is a gem that you can’t miss if you enjoy Cuban food and atmosphere! My wife is a vegetarian and she got the veggie empanadas, and it was her favorite.

Love this place! We have enjoyed everything we have gotten there! Definitely get the MOJO sauce to go with the Tostones! We wish they had a location in North County, but happy to find a good Cuban place!

The food was fantastic, and I’d honestly say it’s one of the best Cuban sandwiches I’ve ever had. But the service could definitely be improved. If tipping were an option after the meal, I probably wouldn’t have left a cent.

The shredded beef is our favorite, it's our second time coming back for it. The service at the counter is friendly and the food came to our table quickly.

I haven’t even finished eating yet but I need to leave a review ? THE FOOD IS PHENOMENAL. This boricua is happy to have found INCREDIBLE Caribbean food in San Diego.

Phenomenal food, a lot of seasonings, we tried the empanadas, fricasé, and cubano, enjoyed everything! Also coconut flan was outstanding! It’s wonderfully decorated, beautiful and clean, and I enjoyed it as a Puerto Rican visiting from New York. Wepa!
