We started with the tostones con carne, which are semi-ripe fried plantains topped with shredded meat, and enjoyed it with an Estrella beer. For the main course, we had a delicious plate of ropa vieja, shredded meat, with congri (Cuban rice with black beans), tiny fried yuca, salad, and an authentic Cuban sandwich. For dessert, we had creme brulee and had a lovely conversation with chef Andres and his wife. They host a Cuban party on the last Saturday of every month with live music, dancers, and food for only $30. I highly recommend this place.

The crab cakes and calamari were delightful. The rice was also very flavorful. I would love to return and try more of the menu at the restaurant. read more The crab cakes and calamari were delightful. The rice was also very flavorful.

Spent $12 for a crab cake and grilled calamari from them but...apparently that wasn’t enough to be a “customer”. The food was fine, but won’t ever go there for dinner just based on this experience.
