Alrighty then, I will have the beef with an egg on top. We were off to a bad start. This quickly turned around with fantastically friendly service with huge smiles. And it turns out the beef was very tasty. Three of us had it and three of us liked it. It felt authentic. My only complaint is the beef could have been more tender and leaner, but maybe that is personal preference.

It's not on the higher end of the spectrum when it comes to Cuban joints but it's great to have some food diversity in IF. The owner was working the order counter and was delightful, enjoyed a short conversation with her. I ordered the Cuban Sandwich. The meat was prepared well and they used the right bread, however, there weren't any pickles and the dipping sauce was a departure from what I'm accustomed to for this meal. I believe it was a butter based garlic sauce but I'd rather have something creamier and spicier for my sandwich. It was served with a side of plantains that were thin and crispy which was great. Also, ordered a side of Arroz Congris that was flavorful but on the verge on being too dry. I looked around for some hot sauce to spice it up and provided some much needed moisture but came up empty handed. Overall, was happy with the meal but my socks weren't blown off. Will come back again.
