We were there last Sunday. The service was great but the food was not. The Oxtails were tough and without flavor. The rice was old, hard and cold. The bread was old as well. The chicken and rice entree was dry and tasteless.

One of my favorite place to get chicken in Los Angeles. Prompt and excellent service. Good location, has ample parking spaces but not sure during Friday night or weekends. But I do know that i get parking all the time during the middle of the day. I always order to go and call in ahead of time. Recommended their famouse half chicken sauce on the side and oxtail stew. Enough for two person.

Today was my birthday and we have been wanting to try this place out....@ 7:45 pm we ordered 2 plates of PICADILLO (seasoned ground beef) with white rice, black beans and plantains (sweet fried bananas) OVERWHELMED by the vast amount of salt in the very liquified "ground beef" I was only able to handle two more small bites of the "ground beef" When asked we told the waiter that the chef EMPTIED the salt shaker into our watery ground beef and it is NOT edible" He smiled and left We even spoke in Spanish I am sure he noticed that we drank THREE full glasses of water in the ONE hour that we were there We paid over $50 for our two plates It was a terrible FIRST experience I have had two full glasses of milk to alleviate the heartburn and indigestion I still feel and it is NOW 11:30pm SPANISH VERSION: Ayer fue mi cumpleaños y queriamos comer comida Cubana Solo quiero volver a decir que el PICADILLO que pedimos estaba DEMASIADO SALADO y NO se podia comer En la hora que estuvimos nos tomamos TRES vasos de agua completos Eran las 8 de la noche y Domingo y por esa razón pagué los $50 por comida que estaba aguada y DEMASIADO sabor a sal (se lo dije al que nos sirvio DOS veces pero solo me dio una sonrisa de disculpa ) En la casa me tomé DOS vazos llenos de leche por la indigestión que tenia Voy a hablar con un manager para dejarselo saber que la experiencia de cumpleaños estaba malisima

Food was excellent as well as the service ! My husband took me for our wedding anniversary and it was just lovely. The space was nice, not loud just perfect. We really enjoyed the food and place! Will be definitely going back.

Great experience overall. I ordered pinot grigio to drink and hubby had a Negra Modelo beer. Had a small hiccup with my first wine order but the server fixed it at once!Meals are in the pic.We definitely took leftovers! Tasty and nice environment. Certainly recommend.

I used to come here a lot back in the day, and it's still as good as I remember it. I usually get the garlic chicken or the sirloin steak with onions. I love the onions so much. The flavor of the sauce is amazing. The plantains are better than anywhere else I've been. The portion sizes are generous. As good as ever, but without the long waits they used to have.

Big fan of the chicken and rice and the oxtails and black beans. Really great restaurant reminds me of the local spots in Washington Heights just a bit more expensive. But great for LA.

I don’t even have words for how good the food here is. We had the famous garlic chicken with rice, black beans, and plantain and my god. One of the best meals I had in LA. Plus the staff was really kind and attentive. I wish I could go back to LA just to eat here again!

Don't fill up on the complimentary bread slices although it was nothing but garlicky and buttery deliciousness! The servers were welcoming and friendly, and the pollo famoso was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They gave a generous amount of platanos.
