Overall the experience was something I hadn’t had before having never been to a Cuban restaurant, so it was great. I ordered the chicken tenders, assuming they were going to be regular beer battered but it was more like schnitzel German style or milanesa instead, I was not disappointed, it was still very good. The pork dish was tasty but a little salty, no issues with the mixup in dish, it was still as good. The steak salad was good but the steak was a tad bit salty. No dessert...

The food we had at this place was the most delicious meal I have eaten in years. It’s too bad we were just passing through Buford on our way to Tampa. The service was so special we were treated like family. Excellent restaurant experience. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Carmen for being such a special human being.

We were in town for an event and searched online for options. The food was outrageously good and our server was lovely. I will definitely return if I'm nearby. Parking is a bear, though. Rideshare if that is an option.
