Customer Reviews
I did not expect this restaurant to be as nice as it is. I thought it was a quick sandwich shop... It is a somewhat fancy, sit down restaurant that is well versed in Cuban cuisine. Yucca fries with an oil Cuban sauce dip are amazing! Cuban sandwich is perfect-a-mundo! The Cuban coffee was super tasty 👌. This would be a great place to take family or friends or a special date. Nice atmosphere, Cubano dance music playing in the background. Very nice folks running the restaurant, too. Highly recommended!
Second time here and does not disappoint. This place is tucked away in the NW corner of Daskalos shopping center. We got there around 2:30 pm and there were about 5-6 tables with people waiting for their food. There was only 1 waitress working, so it did take her some time to bring us menus and take our drink orders. We're pretty patient, so we just chilled, and people watched for a bit. Waitress was very nice and spoke little English. So we conversated in Spanish. We ordered the Guava smoothie and a Cortada (Cuban coffee). So right from the start, the drinks were amazing. Guava smoothie had intense flavor. We would get this again for sure. The coffee was super hot and amazingly strong and sweet. Exactly like I prefer my coffee. Would highly recommend it if you're a coffee lover. Left ther
Authentic Cuban cuisine the food was delicious. The place was quaint,clean, and pleasant. The pace was slow and ony one server. I didn't feel rushed to get out the door.
The food is missing flavor. I got a chicken sandwich. be sure to clarify whether the yucca is fried/soft. I expected fried & was brought something soft. The plátanos fritos are served barely crispy with no sauces on the side I had to request ketchup which normally I wouldn't eat them with. Did not like the food. the itemized bill wasn't added up correctly, so I left cash instead of paying via my credit card. Overall not a restaurant I would recommend. And although I am American I've eaten a lot of Cuban, Puerto Rican and Dominican food that's flavorful & far better.
This was my first experience eating Cuban food and it was soooo good! I had the palomilla steak with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. I also tried the IronBeer (like a fruity, lighter, Dr. Pepper) and Materva (like a cream soda), both of which were delicious. The steak was on the dry side, but I assume that's how the very thin slice of steak is supposed to be cooked. Paired with the grilled onions on top, the flavor was very rich and tasty. I've never been a fan of plantains, but the way they cook theirs has converted me! I believe they are lightly fried, not overdone, and the slight sweet flavor paired well with the flavor of the steak and beans. The plating of the food was nicely presented. Unfortunately the menu did not have descriptions of what the food was (just the names of the dis
