“The cuban sandwich is delicious but more recently I've settled on yellow rice, pinto beans, spicy chicken, and hot sauce.”
“Roast pork, beef steak, oxtail, plantains, beans, etc. You basically get a mound of food for not too much $.”
“Wow, I'm surprised that I could find such great Dominican food in Brooklyn.”

This was close by to where we were staying during our visit. On the last day prior to our departure we decided to have lunch here based on the reviews on Yelp.
This is a local hole in the wall with a B rating posted outside of their shop. Sometimes the better foods come from places that aren't rated A for cleanliness. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and their baked chicken meal with rice and mashed potatoes, and a side order of fried plantains.
The Cuban sandwich is the real winner. They really load the sandwich up with pork. Portion size is enough to share between two. The bakes chicken was good as well but the breast piece was on the dry side. The rice was decent, had some flavors. The mashed potato was disappointing as it lacked any flavor or seasoning and was only served on its own. The fired plantains was also kind of disappointing as it didn't taste fresh from the fryer.
This place is kind of off ways for most people as there's not much around the neighborhood. I told my friend to check it out but he said they don't open on weekends. If you're around for lunch I'd recommend giving their Cuban sandwich a try. It's cheap, service is friendly and the Cuban is worth getting.
The Cuban sandwich is hella good. Sometimes they run out of the roast pork, though. This happened to me at 3pm on a Thursday. I got a Cuban with pork chop instead.
THE BEST CUBAN SANDWICH. Period.
I was hesitant to write a review, because I don't want anyone else to know about this place. The price is very reasonable, $8 for the cuban sandwich. It was stuffed with tender and juicy pork, complimented with the perfect crispy pork skin and pork fat, topped with slice of ham and swiss cheese, and smeared with just the right amount of mayo and mustard. It was simple but soooo damn good! I wish I worked in Dumbo so I could have this for lunch everyday. Unreal.
They have other lunch options, all looked delicious. I will definitely be back.
