Torta Cubana is not like any sorta Cubana I've ever had. I hear the rest of the food is good. I will come back and try something else because the customer service was great and the food was not bad. I will definitely give it another shot.

My experience in this place was horrible in every way!!!!
When we were ordering the cashier had not customer service skills at all, we were getting to burritos and they wanted to charge like $30 for them.....it was ridiculously spensive ?
While we were waiting for our meal to dine in all the tables were duty.
When the order was ready they refuse to gave us the sauce we needed?
They gave us 1 sauce and they told us if we need more we had to take the empty little cup to the kitchen to get more, this is unsanitary; this people should be trian to work in a restaurant business ?
The sad part is that the person preparing our food and giving this instructions was the owner of the place, this is pathetic and unethical!!!
Our burritos didn't even had meat in them? basically we were served bean and cheese instead of asada and buche; it was so disappointed for us?
It just happened like 20 mins ago....
I will never go back to this money hungry unethical wanna be Mexican restaurant....?
Shame on you......owner wanna be cook ???

I've been coming here since I was a kid. The one thing that never fails to be great is the tripas they have here. Nice and crunchy and their salsa is pretty spicy.

I like their asada, but I do understand that it tends to be a bit more on the salty side and cooked/fried a bit more than your usual carne asada.

The meat is very salty and tasteless, the service is not so good.

I recently visited Karina’s after years of nothing coming, and it was a disappointing experience. The beans tasted burnt, and the rice was salty and hard. It was 101 degrees outside, and they had no AC on, making it really uncomfortable. My soda melted almost immediately because there was barely any ice.

I used to love Karina’s, my family religiously ate here on Friday’s years ago . we use to get the chicken taquitos that were delicious. Now, they’re mostly tortilla with just a pinch of dry chicken. The only thing they got good still is carne asada tacos .
I won’t be going back—I’m better off at a different taco stand.

I got an asada burrito. The sign said if you pay with a card, you would pay an extra 50 cents per transaction. My burrito cost me $9.50. However, they charged me $10.25 when I questioned it, they still charged me $10.25. I was on my lunch and didn't have time to argue. The burrito was extremely small, not what I'm used to getting when I pay $10 bucks for a burrito, it was approximately 6 inches, maybe 7 inches long and I could actually close my hand around it when I ate it. The rice was undercooked. It was hard, and had no flavor. The meat had little seasoning. I definitely will not be going back.

I L O V E this place !!! This is hands down the best Mexican food in the city I’m sorry I have been coming here for over 13 years !!! This place is so good there’s 3 locations in the same shopping center !! One around the corner the lunch truck and the one next to the donut shop !!! If you have never tried “tripe” I suggest you try them here !! Get tripas tacos but make sure you ask the lady to tell the cook to make them crunchy !!! OMG I can’t get enough of this place !!! Take my word for it !! Also try the pastor nachos !!! You will not be disappointed!!! Everyone I bring here loves it and comes back without me !! Thank you ??

It took about 20 min to get our food. Very slow and this couple came after us and 5 other people, and gotten got their food first . We were all waiting . Wasn't right for them to do that. You can't order ahead of time (call in)?? She ordered right there her order was $46.00 .
