Good real eating, her rice is good enough to slow my keto lifestyle. most of the time I order masa frita, but the Cuban sandwich it is a must if available. yellower rice is good, but the rice and the beans will let them come back.

The funny part about this is that I haven't found a better Cuban restaurant outside of Laredo, Texas. Go figure! It is by far the best priced, best service, and besting Cuban restaurant ever...at least in my opinion. I've been Cuban restaurants in Miami, Atlanta, and New York...no dice...and the flavor isn't even close to this diamond in the rough. I've tried multiple dishes and I always leave full and with a smile on my face. If you are in town, you have to try this place. It's worth it!

The food es increíble! A bit on the greasy side, but still incredible.I'm from the Caribbean and it tasted just as good as mom's cooking. Definitely one of my new favorite spots.Sadly there's no dining in and no parking spaces...

The food at this restaurant is amazing, and the owners are extremely friendly. I especially love their Cuban sandwich. I would give the food, service, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5 rating.

I had the Ropa Vieja plate and another dish that I can't remember the name of, but both were delicious. I highly recommend trying the coffee as well. The service was great, and it was a perfect spot for a lunchtime meal. Prices ranged from $10 to $20 per person.
