Food was really good we had, cuban lemonade so delicious, cortadito, the chicken empanadas and ropa vieja.
The only thing that bothers me a little is to much taste of cumin.

Service is great! People very helpful and friendly. The bite I took was tasty, unfortunately, the additional garnish of hair made it impossible for me to finish my dish.
Perhaps I will give them an other chance…will be more aware of my meal before driving away.

I've had food from the Suisun location, and the cubano was quite good. The cubano here is nowhere near as good and for $15 should be better. Fair warning, AVOID the French fries. They are soaked in oil, improperly cooked (too low temp), that they were inedible. My wife's order still isn't ready. Been here 40 minutes. Ate my sandwich. Still waiting on her empanada. Oh, just showed up. They gave her 3 instead of 1 and briefly apologized about the wait. And...they are beef empanadas. Not going to come back.

I ordered the Pabellon Arepa. I wasn’t expecting it to be so delicious! It had tons of flavor and was very, very fresh. I’m really excited to have a new restaurant like this in Vacaville. I’ll definitely be back.

Oh my... I wish I had pictures, but I was too busy enjoying the flavors. We decided to do a variety and share. Wow! It's totally worth a drive-by and pick-up.

Great addition to the neighborhood. I had a beer on the patio while waiting for my food to go. Quality, friendly staff and the food lived up to expectations when I got home. So glad to have another fantastic food option downtown. I had the croquettes pollo, Cubano, mini Al pastor tacos and the Arepas Rumbera. Unfortunately they were sold out of the empanadas and steak but that’s what I get for showing up 30 minutes before closing. I’ll be back so no worries. Looking forward to trying their breakfast items. Keep it up guys! Oh and I almost forgot, they have Hazy on the 80 from Solano brewing so a real win win.

So good. A wonderful addition to Vacaville's dining options. I had El Pastor Mini Tacos and they were amazing with and without the sauce I added. Christina had the fish sandwich and sweet potato fries - loved it. She gave me a bite of the fish by itself and I would buy that all by itself. I ate most of the fries and loved them too. The owner greeted everyone and we talked with her for a long time. She is amazing. Her background will help this place thrive for sure.

Eh. We went for dinner, about 5:45 pm. Their pork must be good, they were already sold out for the day. The cubano was my first choice, no pork so sold out. 2nd choice was a breakfast item (salsa, egg and refried beans over chips, the chilaquiles divorciados) but they weren't selling breakfast at that time. Cashier recommended the $18 churrasco sandwich, so i went with that. Wife ordered papa rellena, and a plantain, black bean, and shredded beef sandwhich (pabellon arepas). They give you a buzzer because it's too chaotic to bring you your food, we were the only ones there at the time. Maybe use the buzzer when needed, not all the time? Staff was friendly. Both my wife and I thought the meats were plain in all three dishes. Meats were missing something. Fries that came with my sandwhich were a bit soggy. The sauces were all good, especially liked the chipotle sauce. The churrasco sandwhich is way over priced at $18. Even the arepas was a bit pricey at $14. I would have felt better paying that if the food was bomb, but it was too plain. Beer was good. I might go back for lunch and try the pork, if they have it. I had high hopes, so willing to give this place another day in court, but not anytime soon.
