Fabulous food. Cuban and Black bean soup is as good as Miami.Noticed To-Go orders appear to take president over dine-in customers. This may be a hangover from the pandemic, but frustrating none the less.

Went for lunch and had one of the express bowls, rope vieja, white rice black beans and fried sweet plantains. $13 with a drink, meat was tender and moist and well seasoned with large chunks of sweet peppers and onion. It was fast and service was fast. Portion was large so I have enough for lunch tomorrow.

Only giving a two for friendly staff. We got there right at close. Posted hours were not correct. Food was cold and not the best. I know it was end of night but still paid $20 for food that was not good.

Service was great and so was the food. Easy parking and welcoming hospitality since you enter the place.

Absolutely rude management and the food is terrible!! This is my first and LAST time coming here. I went here on my break, thinking of getting something quick. So I called in advance, and when I got to the restaurant I was expecting my food to be ready. They ended giving my order to the wrong person so I had to wait another 20mins to make a new one.. the cashier asked the manager if he can pay for my order just to make up the inconvenience, she said no. I asked for a discount because I’m on break and that took up too much of my time, and that wasn’t my fault. The manager also said no. Since they made me a new one I didn’t deserve anything for my inconvenience. So I paid the full $17 for overcooked chicken, and rice that tasted like play-do. The cashier tried to help me out but that manager was RUDE. I don’t appreciate being treated like that. She might be racist.. don’t come here. It’s not worth the money

Good food and priced reasonably. Lost a point for service, they were distracted talking to each other

I had a media noche sandwich with fries--the fries were well seasoned and the sandwich had good flavor! The food was very filling as well. I think this was priced just okay at $12-13. I would definitely consider going back to try more things on the menu!

Tasty Cuban sandwiches! They are $12 so it's kind of pricey, but the portion size is pretty large with lots of tasty fries. The bread is a unique and more crunchy choice that I haven't seen in other Cuban sandwiches before. The pork was a bit tough and chewy, but otherwise it's a solid sandwich. I would love to come back to try some coffee!

Cuban was pretty good! Went here for a quick lunch and service was great and quick too. I wont say it’s the best Cuban on the face of the planet but it was well prepared and a great meal.
