A really good value Cuban sandwich. It's a Tampa style Cuban sandwich that is absolutely delicious. The offer it with lettuce and tomato if you want it. But for me a true Cuban sandwich doesn't have lettuce, tomato, or salami. This is a top tier sandwich. We have a lot of options for these sandwiches. This is one of the best.

Great spot for cafe con lechè. Their croquttes are delicious. The biscuits and gravy with friend eggs was good! Everything was cooked to order. Staff was very warm and friendly. Can’t wait to try their sandwiches next time

It's a classic neighborhood diner serving comfort food. You go in and see the same faces every time. The food never misses. A lot of the time they know my order and I don't have to say a word. If you wanna have a nice meal served by family go to El Jefe.

I only got a cafe latte here. Big size for the price & absolutely phenomenal coffee... They have a serious coffee machine. Fast service. Seems like a new modern Cuban cafe, clean. Menu online. They do have plenty of seating if you are eating there.

I saw this place as we pasted by it many times as I go by, and I felt that it was time to finally try it out. I went in with a friend of mine and we ordered the cuban sandwich and the cheese steak. We waited for our food for quite a while, and when we finally got the food, it was good. The cheese steak sandwich was a little salty for our liking, but everything else was pretty nice.

I love the food it is awesome the staff is always helpful and very nice. the only thing I don't like is they add 20% tip to your bill and don't tell you about that. I feel that is very shady, if I wasn't paying attention today to the total I would of never new. when I asked the waitress why Is it so much, she simply just said we add the tip in that's it.I DO NOT LIKE THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN TIP TWICE WITHOUT KNOWING.

Never in my whole life have I ever had coffee so good in my life every single time I order from there it’s hitting like it’s fire. I cannot make this up. Their Cuban toast is real Cuban toast, their burrito wraps, the salsa everything..I haven’t even tried the whole menu and oh my gosh when I tell you like everything is so good it’s just really that good and I never had coffee like that in my life like I’m already addicted to caffeine but like I just don’t anymore…I just might have to order coffee from them every single day now because Starbucks Dunkin’ Donuts any of these other places like they just cannot compare. They just can’t compare. It’s just there’s no comparison like I almost cried tears of joy because the coffee was good.

And if the owner or a worker is seeing this, please remember my name because I will be ordering coffee again and you have to make it the same way I mean, I don’t think I have to ask because the other two times I ordered it was so good. It’s just way too good… And don’t get me wrong the food and everything is great. The Cuban toast is my favorite, but I just can’t understand like why the coffee was like so good is it legal like I’m not understanding.

Also, I know this review is long, but might I just add that I ordered through DoorDash so it had to be picked up and I feel like the Dasher took forever to get there but that’s besides the point the point is is that the coffee had ice in it and it was not watered down and it was perfect It was just perfect and so is the customer service I spoke to a really nice girl she was so sweet. Well done!!!
