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...

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.
