A previous review mentions cheese, but as of August 2025 the Vegetarian Plate is fully vegan and delicious.

The cubano and sweet plantains I ordered were some of the best I've ever eaten. The yuka fries were also wonderful. I also appreciated the selection of delicious sauces!! Plus, the staff were so lovely and helpful!

Great food, friendly staff. Restaurant was allergy friendly as well using no peanuts or tree nuts. 10/10 recommend!
Michael Hammill
Amazing food! We got the fried chicken plate, large plate with pork and a salad. Great flavor, would come back again when I’m in the area!
Robert Hodges
Amazing food with multiple gluten free options!

We had the Cuban Sandwich and the Bistec Encebollada. The food tasted so good, well seasoned, and completely authentic Dominican food. By far, the best food I had during my stay in the Adorindack Mountains.

Absolutely delicious and amazing little gem in the heart of Saranac Lake. Skip the menu and go straight to the daily specials. I feel like I went on vacation for the night. A must visit local favorite.

Simply one of the best places to dine within 5 hours any direction! The loaded tostones with pork keep us coming back again and again! Not to mention the friendly smiles and hospitable service from The CHEF to the hostess/server. Legit Dominican/Soul food in Saranac Lake

Our server was so friendly and warm, such a pleasure to talk to! The food was delicious! I ordered a small plate and it was still a very generous amount of food. The chinola was on point too. So glad we found this gem!

My husband and I each had the vegetarian plate and made it vegan by leaving off the cheese. It is a small café with a very friendly staff and service.

Where we sat the floor smelled like a mixture of cleaning agent and something funky. (Kids were starving so we didn’t change restaurants) Waitress jokingly admonished us for sitting down without waiting to be seated. Even though it was empty with only one othe table. Food was decent except for the steak. It was seasoned fine, but a terrible cut. Like a thin piece of London boil, it was very very chewy.

Without a question the best rice and beans I've ever had, perfectly tender chicken and a great cabbage salad. The service was impeccable and they asked if I wanted cilantro free options. The Mac and cheese is the best comfort food imaginable. Great people and food!

Loaded Tostonos and the empanadas were great. The jerked beef cubano is verry salty though
