I always check out places and rate them if they are friendly/safe to Black and POC peoples I have been coming here since my early 20s. So for about 20 years they have been serving the community with excellent Cuban food. The only downside is when you call in a order for pick up it may take a while. But the food and customer service is always the best.

You can definitely see the history of this place. The owner died a few years ago but the family still owns and cares for this restaurant. I got the speciality cuban sandwich with everything on it and it was so great. Perfect mayo/mustard ratio, the pork was moist, and the bread was fresh. Have to stop by if you love cuban food and you're in Jamaica Plain.

I went here for lunch today and I ordered a Cuban sandwich. Very tasty and not too heavy. The service was great and I liked the atmosphere. My sister orders from here a lot and she says it's the best Cuban food in the area. Prices are reasonable too. I recommend this restaurant.
