What a great place! Best Cubano I’ve ever had. Ropa Vieja was so flavorful. Can beans be any more delicious! And the drinks were tasty and generous. Really pretty. Perfect for date night or dinner with friends. Go!
October 2025
Went here during the week after work. I had the ropa vieja & the portion size was decent & the food tasted good but is nothing to brag about. The service was less than okay. The waitress just brought out what we ordered but didn't come by to ask if we wanted anything else, such as another round of drinks. We had to call over another waiter for a refill on our water. Had the service been better I may have felt inclined to go back to this establishment.

This is a place that treats you like family, and the food is out of this world. We’ve been over ten times and will never stop going back. Best experience in my opinion is not brunch but dinner. Brunch is a party though!
