Best cuban sandwich in town.
Update 08/23/2025: I only go out to eat a few times a year and this is one of my GoTo's, however, I have to say they have (since the last visit) seriously increased their prices. I can understand some basic cost of living increases, but the two items I usually get the Sandwich cubano and the Empanadas both of which had about a 40% increase. I used to get out of there for about 30 bucks (which was reasonable) and today that same order cost over 50 bucks (not including a tip) . Watch out about pricing your customers away.

This place use to be great, I’ve tried three times to dine in during business hours and no one is to be found. So sad, they had a good thing.

Spoiled food, exceptionally small portions, over priced...but the worst was the old, spoiled soup, which made my wife's stomach ill later in the evening. Will NEVER return.

We visited this place because of the reviews. Undoubtedly the previous reviewers ate at a different restaurant than we did because we were served the worst tasting Cuban that I've ever eaten. I requested a lemon for my tea & the server advised they didn't have lemons?? What restaurant doesn't have lemons for the tea? We won't be back.

This place is delicious!!!! The serving sizes are great too! Our kids loved the Cuban style pressed ham and cheese sandwiches! Great authentic Cuban food! We loved and highly recommend the vaca frita and the bistec palomilla!!! Also, the fresh juices are soooo good! We had the mango! Eat here! You won’t regret it!

The food is amazing. Everything's made in house. I came back because it was really good and I met two other people.That also came back because it was their meal was good. Everyone's really helpful and definitely willing to make suggestions if you don't know what you want.

I feel a little guilty as I don't think it's done in malice but the food here is just so bad and it would be a disservice to other patrons not to share. Their picadillo is the consistency of potted meat in a can. Similar to formless slop, dog food, and canned corned beef hash. It's supposed to be ground beef but tastes as if it came from a squeeze tube. I fear it may not be meat at all. The red beans were void of all vibrant flavors native to its cultural preparation. While the beans are stewed, there was no seasoning. I am a foodie and have kissed many frogs when it comes to bad food but I don't think I have ever had food worse than what I ordered here as far as taste goes.

Came across this place while traveling, and I’m so glad I did!
I haven’t had authentic food like this since I moved from Florida. The service was incredibly fast, and the food—absolutely amazing! Their fruit juices are phenomenal too!

I’m sorry I forgot to take a “before” picture—the food looked so good I couldn’t resist diving right in! But don’t just take my word for it—just look at my empty plate. I barely left a few grains of rice behind, and that’s only because I couldn’t pick them up with a fork. That’s how delicious everything was. The seasoning was spot on!
