Could go toe to toe with Cuban sandwiches in Miami. Have to get the orange garlic sauce, mayo, and hot sauce on the side or cup of the ropa vieja broth

First time coming here. Was craving a cuban sandwich, and i was around the area. I searched this place up andi ended up going. Soon as i walked in, i already KNEW this place was going to be delicious. The staff was absolutely amazing. The food..omg the food?!?! To die for!! And i only had breakfast. I recommend everyone to try this out. I truly wish they were open on weekends. I would go every single weekend!!

Casual, cozy spot with a relaxed café atmosphere and simple décor. The food really shines here. The Cubano sandwich was fantastic—perfectly pressed, crispy on the outside, and packed with flavorful, juicy meat. One of the best I’ve had.
The grilled chicken was just as good: tender, well-seasoned, with beautifully cooked skin, served over rice and beans that complemented it perfectly. Generous portions, great flavors, and food that’s clearly made with care. Definitely worth a visit.

expensive for no reason, why is a plate of food and 1 empanada more than $20??...especially by a university. the food isn't even that good, it tastes old.

Placed an order thru doordash. Expecting a nice prepared plate that costs $20 with a 4.6 rating restaurant. But instead I received burnt food that tastes days old, chicken overly cooked, Yuca and rice soggy and burnt. FOOD literally tastes as if it were reheated and just thrown into a container. This is one of the worst take outs I've ever had. I for sure will be submitting this reviews along with a request of a refund.

Well priced and very good Cuban Cafeteria,
All of the menu options are good. I often get moro rice and beef stew or pork.

There is usually a wait whenever I go in, which is around/before lunch time a little. Which really does speak to how popular this place is.

I've mainly ordered their spinach empanada on the side whenever I get a platter; I wouldnt reccomend it if youre not a big fan of greens but I personally love it!

The establishment has a very lived in feeling which is nice, it adds to the charm of the place.

I'd reccomend as a solid lunch spot.
