★★★★★ 5.0 Danny Cosa · Feb 2026

This place finally opened after much anticipation and it was worth the wait!!! The food here is tasty and made fresh! The servers are still learning their machines but they are so pleasant it didnt cost me anything to show them grace. Best puerto rican pastilillos and venezuelan empanadas in town, hands down! Prices are really good for the amount of food you’re getting. For example the pastilillos are full of protein and not air like many others.

Literally, the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had! They are still developing their menu, and I will come back to try other options. Beer and wine available. Also, open Saturday nights. I am already planning to return for an indulgent night of empanadas and wine. Very nice and engaging folks.

As a Cuban, this food is top notch! The cuban sandwich is perfect, you can barely taste the pickles (which I personally love) and the passion fruit juice was soooo good and not overly sweet. Wanda was so cute and helpful in serving us! Definitely give them a try!

I am Puerto Rican and this place makes me feel at home. I live down the street but this place has filled the hole missing. My grandma went to work on her house in PR this past month and I haven’t had any of her food since. The sancocho had thrown me into a nostalgic flashback. It is a homey place for those of you are Hispanic. The menu and food are a mix of Hispanic cultures
