A little bit of a gift rating the atmosphere 5 stars, but I didn’t want to bring down the rating. It is a typical bodega/bakery with great food! Pork was great as was the congri, fried yuca & platanos. No room for one of their incredible looking desserts. I got some of their frozen Cuban tamales to steam at home. They were the best I’ve ever had…and I’m Cuban, so I have had many!!
I really enjoyed the fresh made empanada and bread. The meat on the cubano was very good. My only complaint is that there was way too much mayo on it. It made the whole thing greasy and made the bread mushy, as well as made it hard to taste the mustard or pickles. That being said, I'm pretty sure if I just said go light on the mayo, it might have been the best cubano I've had.
Definitely ordered too much food.
Definitely will be back.
Definitely wish they were open on weekends.
