My maiden voyage I was not disappointed. Came in on a Saturday evening for dinner... and the place was mostly empty. Definitely a no frills establishment. But you don't go for the atmosphere, you go to inhale your food and leave shortly thereafter. Because it is THAT good.We ordered empanadas, The Cuban (with a side of rice and beans) as well as The Infidel. Plus a perfectly executed coffee. Our kiddos had a hot dog and potato sticks (like from a can. But still tasty as hell.)

Great sandwiches and the spicy sauce is great, I especially like the off menu Gitmo Chicken.

This place is great! All made from scratch to order. The empanadas, cuban, and flank steak are all highly recommended.

First off, the food is very good. Service is very good. Interiors are very nice. But the prices are way too expensive for the middle of the week lunch. I paid $15+ for a 1 person lunch, and that's before the tip. The value is not there. Pricing should be adjusted to be more attractive to downtown workers.

Small quiet hole in the wall with food that will blow you away. I tried the Cuban with rice. The flavor was in your face

Loved Joel, the server. Food was awesome!

Food was great, service was also nice. The menu changed slightly from our previous visit. Also, the setup was slightly different. They now have touch tunes for music. Some may consider this good. Didn't matter to us.

Sandwiches are a good deal!

Amazing!! Superb!! So many one words to describe a delicious satisfying sandwich! I had the Cuban sandwich and the tres leches cake. The Cuban was well prepared and hit the spot. The desert seemed a bit dry and not as fulfilling and creamy like a tres leches should be. This is certainly a 5 star joint, with great tasting Cubans and awesome customer service! Way to keep this place hopping! Now, I know people out there will have had better Cubans elsewhere. But in Cedar Rapids, IA, the Cuban is certainly lost here!

Excellent food. I got the El Pollito sandwich. Large serving size but it was so good that I cleaned my plate. Also liked that you can see the entire kitchen from the bar where I was seated. The kitchen was very clean, and not a microwave in sight. It was better than I expected. I definitely plan on going back.

Food was overpriced for what they gave me. The whole plate was just salty to hell and it was kind of spicy. I've never had cuban food that had that much spice. I was told this restaurant was good at one point, but the standards must have slipt because the food was not worth my money

The food here is simply amazing! The staff has always been friendly, too. My kid loves the hot dog, and the Cuban sandwich plus mojito is my go-to. Oh, and yuca!!

This place is as delicious as everyone before us said! We all got something different in our party and everything was delicious! The bread is specially made for them.' The service was friendly! It's very casual so no need to dress up!
