I’ve been coming here since the first owner had it and this place never disappoints! I always love getting their Trifongo con pollo a la plancha. (Mashed plantains with grilled chicken breast). Their food is always good and their servers are really nice. They serve everything from Puerto Rican food to Cuban and honduran food. This is a great place to go if you want to try authentic Latin cuisine.Parking: There’s plenty of parking spots because this restaurant is located in a shopping center.

We waited for a long time to have our drinks at the table. Mom's piña colada was pure sugar and tasted nothing a real piña colada. It was purple? Upon ordering trifongo with chicharron as it stated in the menu, the manager argued I was mistaken and would get masita de puerco instead. I pointed out the menu, he didn't care. Eventhoug it was clearly written in the menu. The skirt Steak arrived cold and was swimming in oil. One bite and it tasted horrible. Mom almost vomited. It was bland with no salt. The arroz con gandules was the worst we've ever had and soggy. The trifongo was so so. But lackluster for sure. The worst meal ever. When we reported the steak was inedible the blue eyed owner or manager once again argued the steak was gready because of the chimichurri sauce. He didn't care that it was cold as if taken out of a fridge. I've had authentic Argentinian style chimi, this lost the mark. We asked to have the steak removed from the bill. Unfortunately, we had to pay eventhough we didn't eat the steak. So customer service sucked! We will never go back and wouldn't recommend at all.

What a great find, on accident! I flew in for a 24-hour business trip and took an Uber to a Middle Eastern restaurant but when I got there they were closed. My driver was Cuban and he and I had a great conversation in Spanish the entire ride. When I inquired about a Latin restaurant he took me here instead. Everything about this place is top notch from the service to the food. The owner is the waiter and is the nicest guy ever, thanks for letting me practice my Spanish with you Noé!

The food does not taste like authentic Cuban, the prices are high for the quality of the food.

Came to celebrate birthday dinner with family... 8 of us ages 40-93.... I enjoyed sampling of appetizers... all were flavorful...personal favorites were the empanadas and mariquitas. Enjoyed the Cubano sandwich with a side of yuca con mojo. First time trying boiled yuca... the garlic sauce (mojo) was incredible. Everyone was able to find something to their taste and there was lots of sharing. Wish we had discovered this sooner. Will definitely be back.

My daughter asked for vaca frita it was not fried The tostones/ fried green plantains you could tell that they were frozen previously not fresh. The masa’s de puerco/ pork chuncks were also not fresh and we confirmed it hours later when my husband started to throw up ? and shiver. He got food poisoning and spend 12 hrs ill.And the waitress was out of it.I don’t recommend this place not fresh food.
