While that wasn't a major problem, I do want to point out that the potato balls were overcooked, which was disappointing. However, Marcie was really nice and gave me a refund for them. I also ordered white rice, beans, empanadas, and pepper steak, and I felt like I received a lot of food for the price I paid.

It was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had outside of Miami! Everything was bursting with flavor and had that delightful homemade quality. My husband and I visited for a lunch date, but we will definitely be bringing our boys along next time!

It ended up being quite firm, which was a surprise since it was my first experience with it, and I’m not an expert. However, the steak that came with it was exceptional—cooked to perfection and full of flavor! The staff were incredibly friendly, offering helpful suggestions and checking on customers at their tables multiple times. I definitely plan to return to try the Cuban sandwich and their house-made juices!
