Wow! Where do I even begin? This place is so warm and inviting, making you feel right at home. The home-cooked food is incredible; you can really taste the love that goes into every dish. The portions are generous, and be sure to save room for dessert— the flan is outstanding! I can't wait to return on my next visit.

Seen this little gem as we drove by. On our way back we stopped in and this place is just fantabulous! If you ever get a chance to stop in here to eat , do so. Owners and staff are so pleasant and the atmosphere is welcomign. Clean restaurant and restroom and kitchen. My husband and I will be back (and we live in a different county) and we will bring family with us.. thank you for the great food

We had a fantastic meal that was skillfully prepared. Everything was fresh, from the meats to the vegetables. I tried the 'heavy shrimp' soup, and it came in a huge bowl, overflowing with shrimp, rice, and spices. Despite its name, it wasn’t heavy at all; the broth was incredibly flavorful. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is small but very clean. I highly recommend this place.

I ordered the mini pastelillos and pernin sandwich (roast pork). The food is made fresh and it was delicious. The young man that waited on my table was kind, respectful and attentive.

Definitely give it a try! This restaurant is charming and clean, creating a truly welcoming and homey atmosphere. The Cuban sandwich was absolutely phenomenal! I’ve had many variations of this dish, but this one completely won me over. The bread was fresh and the meat was incredibly tasty! My husband ordered the pastelón (a sweet plantain hot dish) and couldn’t stop raving about how delicious it was. The presentation of the dishes was simply perfect. It’s clear that the owner and her team take great pride in the food they serve. My two small children shared the red beans and rice and finished every last bite. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant—you simply have to give it a try!
