★★★★★ 5.0 devil herself · Dec 2025

I come here soooo often & as a vegan I always get the same combo of sides: white rice, black beans (which have no meat in them, yay!!), regular salad which comes with avocado (not to be mistaken with avocado salad), & maduros (but sometimes I’ll switch that up for tostones or yuca fries)! I really appreciate the service here, they are always helpful in making sure there’s no cross contamination as I’m very allergic to dairy as well! I hope this review can help other vegans discover this amazing staple small business in our community. Amazing prices as well honestly, can’t beat a full lunch where you’re almost rolling out the door for a total of $20 (which includes the tip!)

★★★★★ 5.0 Food Critic Police · Sep 2025

The first time I ever came here I was seven years old so it holds a special place in my heart. Privately owned mom and Pop place it’s been around forever a staple in this town. Everything you’ll have here is delicious, especially their churros. Today I ordered the steak sandwich with a cafe con Leche. Attentive service and very nice staff.

★★★★★ 5.0 Juan Perez Jr · Oct 2025

Great food and good prices. Try the Cuban sandwich and the mojito. You won't be disappointed. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly too.

★★★★★ 5.0 Joan Yparraguirre · Dec 2025

I’ve been coming here for years with my parents since I was a child . Has always been delicious each time I come . Service is great.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Michelle Kang · May 2025

This is the place I sometimes visit when I miss Cuban food. However, we cannot blame the restaurant for the higher food prices and lower quantity compared to the previous day, but it is not pleasant to add credit card fees. And ox tail was very tough at this time.
