This was a really nice dining experience. The food was authentic and very well prepared. The roast pork melted in mouth. The sweet plantains were perfectly fried with that little bit of carnelized crunch. Black beans and rice was delicious. I also had some Cuban coffee to round out my meal. Definitely recommend this Cuban restaurant. The service was friendly and polite.

We are so happy we went here! The food was so delicious and fresh. They brought a little appetizer of plantain chips with two sauces which was amazing. That green sauce is so yummy. Once we ordered the chef even came out to get our order right and then again after it was made to make sure we liked the food. My husband got a meat and black bean dish and I got shrimp fajitas. The black beans were so good as well as the shrimp fajitas. The sides were all just perfect and we ended up eating all our leftovers by the evening time. We got espresso as well which was so so so so so delicious. I had gotten one and then once my husband tasted it, he ordered one too. The employees were so warming and nice. We tried to practice our Spanish with them and they were so patient and informative. Overall 10/

We drove four hours just to eat here after hearing how amazing the food was—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Everything was incredible! The flan was the best I’ve ever had. The music and atmosphere were great, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be coming back.

I was craving a Cuban sandwich and when Google suggested this restaurant I had to try it. The Cuban was different of what I am accustomed however it was well seasoned and tasted good. Then they offered me a cafecito. Oh my goodness! That was delicious 😋 and it woke me up. The staff was very friendly and when they realized I was Boricua they were even more friendly. I am going back for papas rellenas 😋. Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 y Cuba 🇨🇺 dos alas 🪽 del mismo ave. ¡Viva ambas islas Libres!
