★★★★★ 5.0 Jenny Chun · Nov 2025

We found this place by accident because we got lost. Surprisingly, this restaurant was really nice. The food was great and the staff was really friendly. We really enjoyed it.

Came here for dessert and loved it! Had a chocolate cake slice, but really need to come back for their dinner options (which looked and smelled incredible). The cake slice seemed a bit stale but still perfectly good to eat.

I’ve been to New Orleans so I know good food for great prices. And let me tell you this place has good food for great prices. I got a steak sandwich and my partner got steak with black rice and coffee. My sandwich was cooked to perfection with roasted tomatoes, onions and thin fries. It wasn’t hard to chew and ripped apart easily. Fantastic! They also have excellent service here. They are quick to accommodate and multiple people came to our table to ask if we were good in addition to our waitress. Definitely returning. Be aware that they do have a parking lot but it only has about 6 or so spots so don’t bank on it.

Best Cuban spot on a budget. Their food is so good!! And the amount is big. The only thing to know is that their salad is not a real big salad so not my favorite but it's the only choice for a salad. It has shredded iceberg lettuce with 2 Cucumbers and 1 sliced tomatoes and some red sliced onions on top and a choice of an avocado slice. For their dressing they give you vinegar and oil. But besides that everything is sooo good!

I've been coming here for years and enjoy the food. What i dont like is thier new so called company policy. If you get take-out make sure to check your receipt. No sign posted or anything but they will charge you a tip for your to go order. For that ill get delivery no extras fee cause I get free delivery.
