Stopped by with a few people on a Friday. Staff was super nice and the vibe felt authentic. They had a great selection of Cuban foods and sodas. The Cuban sandwich was delicious and wonderfully pressed. Finished it off with a Cuban coffee. Prices were very reasonable.

Came in with my son and his sleeping baby for dinner on a Thursday evening. We got here early because he said the place is small and gets crowded. We got a table by the door and we had the chicken soup and a salad with avocado as appetizers. Both were delicious then he had the skirt steak and yucca and sweet plantains. I ordered the chicken in garlic sauce and plantain with a side order of broccoli. Ever was amazing! Service was wonderful too! Can’t wait to come back...
