This is actually my 3rd time visiting in the last 3 weeks. The first time, I picked up a to go order of "Pechuga a la plancha" with white rice and black beans for my daughter. According to my 9 years old daughter, it was delicious. The second time, We had a family get together and we decided to go there. Once again, to be fair,I didn't have a change to eat that day. BUT the first thing that stood out, was fact that they DO NOT give you "Pan con Mantequilla". Being that this is a Cuban Restaurant that is expected from them. I asked the waiter, if I could buy an order Pan con mantequilla. He said I CAN NOT, since they don't have bread for that. I was very disappointed. Needless to say my family ordered kids meals, steak sandwich and a steak with rice and black bean. They don't have "pan con mantequilla" bread, BUT they have it for a Steak Sandwich. This is odd because is the same type of bread. The restaurant is looks very nice and they had a guy playing live music. The family loved that food and the service was also good. On today's visit, I went with my girlfriend. She ordered the Oxtail and she was going to ask for rice and beans, but the bar tender/waiter told her ONLY one side is included. This was also weird because it's always two sides. I ordered a "Pechuga de pollo empalizado" with rice and I also asked for an order of black beans. According to my girlfriend her food was AMAZING. on the other hand the size of my pechuga empanizada looked exactly like the pechuga from last week's kids menu. I was also NOT impressed with the flavor nor size of the pechuga. It was cut REALLY THIN and the rice and the beans I was only able to get two and a half spoons of beans, everything else was juice. I got the bill. The first thing I looked for, was for price of the two and a half spoons of black beans. But I couldn't find it. To my surprise, it's already included with the original order. This means that either the bartender did not know the menu or we were misinformed in order to get us to buy something else. I would NEVER know.

My friends and I came in on a Saturday evening. We tried making a reservation the night before for a group of 8 but were told they were full and we'd have to come in the day of as a walk-in & wait. Not a problem. We did find out the day of that they didn't take reservations? Regardless, we were sat in under 10 minutes after being told there was an 1.5 HR wait. No complaints there! Let's start with the drinks, the margaritas were on the sweeter side but very strong. I originally ordered a tamarind margarita but they were out and tried substituting this with strawberry without asking me. I ended up requesting a pina marg in place of the tamarind. After the margs we did a pitcher of a mango-guava sangria. Again, a little sweet but very tasty and strong. We'd definitely order it again. The food was very good. We ordered the Havanero appetizer and loved the little fried Ham & cheese bites, the corn fritters were also tasty. We really enjoyed the app. We also ordered tostones rellenos de camerones and ropa vieja. Both were very good. For entrees, we ordered the ropa vieja, Salmon Havanero, 2 churrascos, and a bistec de palomilla. We all really enjoyed our entrees. One skirt steak was bland, the other had really great flavor and melted in your mouth. We also ordered dessert, the coppa catalana which was phenomenal. My favorite bite of the evening and the creme brûlée. The creme brûlée was a bit gritty and wasn't as creamy as I'd expect it to be, it still had good flavor. There was a live band and a full dance floor! This is what we came for and the atmosphere did not disappoint. We will definitely be returning.

Came here for a small celebratory luncheon with family. To begin, the waitstaff was very friendly and courteous... very attentive and a big reason why I offered 3 stars. We ordered some guacamole with chips. What we got was some mashed avocados and a sprig of cilantro. Had to be the most bland guacamole ever... no chopped onions, no tomatoes, no lime juice, no garlic, just the sprig of cilantro (not a bunch chopped up and added) and no jalapeños!! The chips were good. My wife and SIL had the boneless chicken breast topped with sautéed onions... which was sent back. the breast was pounded to thin... and then overcooked... served with veggies that my wife insists were frozen. (Me... I can't tell the difference) My BIL and I had the Cuban sandwich... which was 'ok'... but not great. The only good dish (I understand) at the table was the skirt steak... which was 'melt in your mouth good' and I ALMOST ordered. Oh, the empanadas were also pretty good.,, As was the Sangria and the margaritas... made with real lime juice (not packaged) There is a band setup waiting for the weekend and this place does look like it rocks on Sat/Sunday. Good drinks, friendly and attentive service and a kitchen that needs to 'kick it up a notch'... I might even come back.

Always a great place to eat with friends on a Sunday brunch, service is great n food is just tasty..You have try out the mango sangrias they are exquisite to have. Live Salsa nights are from Thursday through Saturdays, if you have that special date night with your significant other.

A good place to celebrate a birthday but be prepared to celebrate 50 other birthdays with each one greeted with a full birthday song. Not a good deal if you have to listen to a birthday song 50 times. Food was ok but not exemplary. The sangria we ordered didn’t seem to have any alcohol in it. Once dancing got going it was a great atmosphere but then the band would stop at 2 songs and a long lull would ensue. The least they could do was to play DJ dance music in between.
