The best Cuban restaurant in Houston. As Miami natives who love Cuban food we have pretty high standards for what it’s supposed to taste like. But this place always delivers. We’ve been coming here for years and absolutely love it. And the service is the best — they always make us feel like home.
Highly recommend the Cuban, the tops vieja, and the pan con bistec. Oh and don’t sleep on the croquetas. Super authentic!

A coworker suggested this place and since then, I’ve returned like 4-times. Always do eager to eat my food, I forget to take pics. Everything I’ve had has been authentic and outstanding-staff treats you very well (like family). Highly recommend!!

It was good but I was disappointed that plantains were not included as they have been for the last 25 years of my visits here. Not sure if it was an oversight or they have stopped including them.

Had a great meal here. I got the Ropa Vieja while I was on a girls night. Their Watermelon Margarita was Divine! Carlos was the waiter and he was very attentive!
Must come back!

I was there on Saturday I think it was the 6th of September I had gone to visit my brother that just moved up to Texas from Miami. And being from Miami myself I was looking for a spot to eat some good Cuban food so we ended up here. When we got to the building I was impressed. Look very authentic and felt like I was at La carreta in Miami. Once we were seated I couldn't figure out what to order and I saw this very pretty girl and I thought I would ask her for her suggestions turns out she was the manager I think her name was Patty or Patricia. Don't really remember but I do remember her hair and her Spanish accent because it was lovely. She recommended the Cuban meatballs and she also recommended two other things of which I picked the fried pork chops or chuletas as we call them. All in all I have to say that as a cafe owner in Miami myself that serves cuban food. The food here is delicious. The pork chops were perfect. (I should've ordered some onions with them) Lol. But the star of the show where the meatballs not dry whatsoever good size and very well seasoned. I plan on going back to Texas to visit my brother soon and I will definitely be dining here again hopefully the same manager is still there and I can't wait to taste what else she suggests. She also told me the story behind the restaurant how they started with a meat market that turned into what it is today and I love that. All in all I recommend this place if you are in the area. Food was great atmosphere was awesome service was fast accurate and very friendly. Great experience. And on top of all that it's hard to find a good Cuban spot in Texas. I tried......
Carlos was our waiter and he was great. Very good food also.

Consistent quality and service for the 15+ years I've been coming here... all the food is amazing and authentic. But I never leave without getting a Cuban coffee and fried cheese. Life changing!!!
