“🔥 Just had their food and I am blown away! I’ve been missing real Cuban food since leaving South Florida, and this spot nails it. Authentic, flavorful, and hands down the BEST Cuban food in the Carolinas (maybe ever!). This is true Cuban comfort food, and I’ll 100% be coming back again and again. 💯🙌“

“I am new to Asheville and brought my mom, two aunts and cousin to visit. We chose to eat here on a whim. It was a busy Saturday with a long wait and several things happening in the area. My aunt us genuinely severely allergic to gluten. The options for her weren't super extensive, but they offer a gluten free bun and several other options. Our server seemed new and I noticed had been double sat. She was awesome, despite both. We had lots of questions and she didn't know all the answers but she had a great attitude and was accommodating. The manager came to help her out since it was so busy. My aunt had mentioned she was allergic to gluten, chose a gluten free salad, and just asked our server to make note not to add croutons. The Manger came over and assured us he was clearing a space in rhe back to prepare her food so it would be fully uncontaminated. We didn't ask for this, but he was proactive about it. One salad came with rhe wrong protein, no biggie, we said we'd keep it. He offered to have a side of salmon made or the entire salad replaced despite us assuring him it was OK. he then comped the entire salad, not just the protein we missed. We were running out of time on our parking meter so we canceled some drinks we had ordered earlier. The bartender has already made them and the manager not only brought them to us anyway but then comped them from our bill. Literally couldn't have asked for a better experience or nicer staff.“
