Lately the rice tastes bad, it tastes like humidity especially the Arroz con Gandules. New cook or what?

I was always a regular customer. Always great food. Moved away for 4 years and now returned to eat , found the majority of the female servers that were always there , were no longer there. New staff , different attitude. Food wasn't as good, now their Cuban sandwich is always good. You can't mess that up.

we ordered carne empanizada and it truly had no flavor while it was beautifully breaded we were excited to eat it but were meet with unseasoned meat. We ordered Morir Sonando and it was the same as simply ordering orange juice, it wasnt at all balanced and not very good. We would not recommend ordering any meats as they lacked a lot of seasoning. Service was amazing and the girl serving us was very attentive.

Very nice and clean restaurant and the food was delicious. The only issue I had was none of the staff spoke English so I had to ask another customer order for me but I will definitely be back

The food is a hit or miss depending on the hour of the day. It’s a bit disorganized and chaotic during there peak hours and it seems that they cater more to the regulars that show up more often then others. I order a fish dish one day and got food poisoning the same day. However some of the food is very good like the pork shoulder. Consistently is definitely something that this restaurant lacks along with more attentive service. I would be revisiting in a few months to see if anything has changed or if I still feel this way.
