I really like this place, the food is consistenly good and the prices are reasonable. The only thing that sucks is that is not in the best neighborhood and the parking can be sparse. Other than that, I highly recommend the Chuletas Fritas, Carne con Papas or the oxtail. I usually order one of those three when I dine here. I also heart the waitress w/ the crazy eye make up 🙂
I can't believe I haven't written a follow up for this place! Since our first visit we've been back multiple times (bringing out-of-towners, to celebrate a birthday and on multiple date nights). Everyone always loves the food! We took the waiters recommendation and ordered the churrasco- definitely one of the best in the area. From the mouth of my boyfriend "I want this place to cater my wedding!" (See, really good food can do some crazy things, like make men think about marriage.) Food and service are both great-we'll keep going back 🙂
– This place was AWESOME! Aside from the great food and awesome pricing was the AMAZING hospitality. The staff was so sweet, attentive and made us feel right at home. I would love to come back here and try the rest of the menu. I had the Pot Roast Sandwich with fries. Our waitress spoke mostly Spanish, but was able to communicate with us enough to make a great lunch.
Can't say I'm a Cuban food expert, but I can tell you the food here is really GOOD!!!
About two weeks ago I came here for a business meeting. It was the immediate halfway point between my buddy and I. While driving there I was nervous as I've never been and honestly it looked a little hoodish. Looked like I took a truckers route lol…..
Anyhow back to the review. This spot is located on a Main Street and its metered parking. If you speak Spanish yall be golden here, if not the menu has numbers and pictures. We order the Garlic shrimp, steak and onions, fried snapper and pork chunks. Everything was awesome. Great seasoning and cool presentation.
I don't really consider this a date spot, but my lady rides with me anywhere and we are definitely coming back here!!! I hope you enjoy as I did.
