This place has great coffee, and a fantastic hot bar of food for lunch, and you can also order from their menu. Great to grab a quick bite of home cooked food instead of hitting a fast food spot. If you’re lucky enough to go on a day they have tres leches, don’t miss the chance to have some, super delicious.

Pablo “the nice front desk staff from the Hilton next door recommended this spot and let me tell you, it is to die for it. Some of the best Cuban food I’ve ever tried. Quick service, very clean, nice staff and at a very affordable price. La comida deliciosa! I highly recommend this place and I will be back for the sold out empanadas tomorrow! ♥️ 🇨🇺

The food was delicious! I had the lunch plate with arroz con gandules, pernil, picadillo y plantanos maduros. My food was hot and very yummy. My husband had a Cuban sandwich. The staff was friendly and we are happy we stopped by for lunch.
