Small place with very good, authentic food, it is well served, I recommend the fruit smoothies that are not common to find, such as mamey, guanavana or guayava, in this small place you will be able to find the authentic cafe la llava, they sell it there, if you go quickly, order the Cuban sandwich.

If I could give zero stars, I would without hesitation. From the moment we entered this restaurant, the treatment was deplorable. The young waitress who served us had a facial expression of constant annoyance, as if our presence bothered her. His attitude was rude and arrogant, without the slightest effort to offer good service.
Worst of all was the blatant coercion to force us to consume. Instead of calmly letting us decide, the waitress used manipulative words and a passive aggressive tone to make us feel guilty if we didn't order more. At no point did we feel comfortable, and each interaction with her was more unpleasant than the last.
Customer service here is conspicuous by its absence. Not a smile, not a “thank you,” not the slightest courtesy. It seemed like they were doing us a favor by serving us, when in reality we are customers paying for a service.
I will never return and would not recommend this place to anyone. If you value friendly service and a good dining environment, avoid this place at all costs. One star because you can't give less.

"If you are looking for authentic Cuban flavor, this restaurant is the perfect place. The food is simply delicious, with that homemade touch that transports you directly to Cuba. Each dish is full of flavor and prepared with great love.

Furthermore, the service is unbeatable. 'La Negra', as she is affectionately called, is incredibly friendly and makes you feel at home from the moment you enter. Their energy and attention to detail are the perfect complement to an unforgettable experience.

Definitely a place I recommend to everyone. I'll be back

I called to place a takeout order and they told me that they didn't have congris, after 2 minutes a friend called and they had... I don't understand what the difference is between one dish and another, they want to shove the yellow rice into your eyes... they cook very delicious but In these things they lose, the other thing is the super pedantic, Cuban waitresses had to be... I won't be coming back again
