Really good, and I think reasonable for what I got. Beef and rice was very flavorful. Will be going back. Bit of a language barrier, so I ordred from pictures on line, and the video they show inside.

The atmosphere is nice - very relaxed. We went on a Saturday around 6pm. They had live music and he sings beautifully. Loved it.
There were two other occupied tables. It took longer than it should have for someone to acknowledge us and provide menus.
I was surprised to see tostones only offered as an appetizer and not a side dish. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and asked if I could swap out the French fries for tostones. The answer was a firm, “no”. I believe (if I remember correctly), the waitress said I could sub the fries for the plantain chips only. Again, I could be wrong, but I know for a fact they would not allow us to sub the fries for tostones. Rather than being inflexible, allow your customers the option to make substitutions, just tell them they’ll incur an upcharge. I would have been fine with that. I realize making tostones is harder and probably more expensive than throwing frozen fries into a fryer, but giving people the option while making them aware of an upcharge is more customer friendly while still being profitable. We ended up ordering the tostones appetizer: three enormous, delicious tostones. Those were the best part of my meal. The fries that came with the sandwich were like the fries you get at a freezer section of any grocery store. Not awful, but for the price, I would have expected something better.
The other issue I had that the pork meat in the sandwich (not the ham, but the other pork meat), was dry. It had a texture as though it had been sitting under a heated lamp and dried out. Again, I could be wrong. I’m just making an observation that the edges were dry and stale. Given that the bread was toasty and crunchy (and done nicely), if the meat wasn’t as dry, it would have been more enjoyable.
We weren’t specifically offered any drink refills (the sodas are canned, not fountain drinks), but the waitress came by once to ask if we needed anything. I don’t know how true it is, but another reviewer posted that they charge for water. Makes me glad I didn’t ask for any.
My other critique is the flan: it was edible, but it had this odd, overly sweet taste that I couldn’t put my finger on. My husband said it might be boxed. I didn’t even know you could make flan from boxed contents. But when he mentioned that, it made sense. It had this “boxed-cake-like” flavor to it. I could only have two bites.
When the bill came: $77+ for three meals, one alcoholic drink, two nonalcoholic drinks, and three tostones. I feel that’s too pricey for what we got. It’s not like the portions were huge (other than the Cuban sandwich, which was quite large).
Frankly, I don’t know if I’d go back just for the food. The atmosphere would entice me.

Great place!!! I would of gave this place a 5 star if the main dish was hot but it was luke warm like it was sitting underneath a warm as it waited for the rice to finish cooking because that was the only thing that was steaming. But other than that our waitress was super sweet and friendly.

First time. Good coffee! The croqueta sandwich was an interesting creation. I love trying new takes on traditional dishes. I’ll be back for the Cubano for sure! Marian was very helpful. She showed me pictures of the sandwich on her phone before i ordered it because I didn’t know what it was. Very helpful! Gracias!

I’m a sucker for Ropa Vieja and this one was delicious! I ate the beans, the maduros, and white rice! I also tried the Cuban sandwich and it’s honestly the best one I’ve had. It was a lovely place to try during the week.
They only had 1 person serving and working the front but she did an amazing job and was so kind. I like that they have live music on Fridays so I’ll have to come back to check it out.
It was nice, quiet spot and I truly enjoyed my first visit here.
