Pleasantly surprised. Cuban sandwich is so far best tried in Georgia. Palomilla steak very tasty. Food overall did not come out hot. Steak a bit fatty.Wheelchair accessibility: No handicap parking. Only four tables at front of restaurant that can accommodate a wheelchair. Remaining tables are booths.

Great cuban food! Great service and atmosphere. They have a private parking lot and some street parking. Place was a full but didn't have to wait too long for a small table. Empanadas were awesome and juicy. I've been to some places where the empanadas are dry. Not bad for a Cuban restaurant in Atlanta. My friend had the lechon asado and I had the masitas de puerco. Both dishes were delish!

Food is awesome and Tommy the bartender was super cool. We always try to eat here before a show at the Fabulous Fox theater.

The atmosphere among the workers is very hostile, they fight in front of the customers, apart from the fact that the service is very slow, it takes too long to place an order

Authentic Cuban food served by a Spanish speaking Cuban server in an authentic Cuban restaurant. Very nice flavors!

I ordered a drink that tasted like juice. When I asked if the drink can be made stronger I was charged more than what the drink costs itself just to add another shot. The food is sub par at best. This place used to be good. It definitely fell off.

The food here is good, that's why I came back. My husband is from cuba and he likes it here. But I had an incident that really made me think this place needs customer service training. We walked in and immediately were given a table after sitting for about 5 minutes we had menu's in our hand already the manager came by and told us they made a mistake that there was a waiting list and ask us to give the table up. We were sitting for 5 minutes how it is a mistake? We told him no, and he answered "oh I thought you guys would understand, but I guess not" (in Spanish) and walked away. How is it my fault? How im going to stand up and go outside to wait after we were given the table? He should have apologized to the other person and offered free drinks and left us along but no ask us to get up and wait outside.

We did take out - mainly because we didn’t turn the corner and see that the dining room was a different entrance! Either way it was a busy place. Solid sandwiches, great rice and beans.

I was denied a seat because my food came out in a bag. I even tipped on purchase, but I guess not tipping a server directly is an issue. The picture is my walk home from my very first visit…update: After being denied a table despite purchases and later after I finally got home to eat the food - I can say I won’t be back. There is better authentic Cuban spots that I’m sure taste much better and won’t remove you after purchasing from their menu. The food was alright, but not worth a half mile walk. If it were cheaper, It’d make more sense, but it still wouldn’t be worth the distance.

Food was not good, no flavor. We had a hard time ordering and paying because of the language barrier. The Cuban coffee was good and similar to authentic Cuban coffee but everything else lacked flavor.Kid-friendliness: Kiddos didn’t like anything

I have been getting papi’s for years and this is the first time I was NOT satisfied. I got the empanadas beef/chicken - the flavor was off, the sauces were watered down and the tostones were almost too hard to eat. I hope this was a one off situation.
