All you can drink brunch is great.
Thomas GreenMarch 9, 2012
Ropa vieja was fabulous. Also the avocado pineapple salad
ElifOctober 9, 2012

Annie AdamsJune 16, 2011
I could live off their skirt steak with chimmichurri sauce... Best I've had!
Maya CortesAugust 31, 2015
Great steak and eggs and bottomless brunch!
Ameerah FordAugust 22, 2013
Don't look for excellent service but the food is great !!!
Chad LewisJuly 8, 2017
The service is despicable. Someone threw up next to our table, the manager offered to take the meals off our hill and 5 minutes later claimed she had no idea what happened

Get the calentado with unlimited cocktails for brunch. Really good food
Match ThisflyMarch 27, 2015
Waiter was lovely. Manager informed us that we could only split the bill between 2 credit cards! No sign posted about this rule, and our party wasn't alerted beforehand. A bit rude.
Thomas WoodDecember 7, 2013

Just had Huevos de las cabanas... Amazing! Love the owners/hosts here too!
Brittney JacksonSeptember 14, 2014
Almost forgot. Food is decent but they treat you like a criminal if you get unlimited brunch. Never coming back.
AditiApril 18, 2016
Okay I come here to drink not eat. My steak was cold so no Bueno but I can survive on their black beans alone (how are they so good?!)
Janine DsMay 12, 2012
My favorite brunch spot! Lobster Benedict!!!
Larry LJuly 29, 2016
They refused to accept an expired groupon until after 6pm. I called groupon; they said there is no restriction. I offered to let the restaurant speak to Groupon, but they just got nasty. How terrible.
Dan TorresOctober 16, 2014
Get the vaca frita!
Diana GomezMarch 2, 2012
nice quaint spot for dates
Lauren SteinkeDecember 15, 2013
Food is ok. Brunch deal is pretty good, but the options for drinks are sugary pitchers. Got drunk, but not drunk enough. Service was slow and rude.
Teresa LeeJuly 1, 2012
Get the bottomless guava mimosas!
Mary SomersDecember 11, 2010
The brunch holgin is amazing. Don't think, just get it.
Candice MaultsbyJuly 21, 2013
Great for brunch outings!
Rafael GonzaqueJune 4, 2014
This place looks shutdown. Closed on a Tuesday at 9 pm!
Candy PoloOctober 20, 2012
Empanaditas de carne, so good!
Angel DeAndaOctober 26, 2014
Bottomless brunch til 6!
Bernadette Aguirre LilhanandOctober 12, 2010
Empanaditas are great and yuca fries are a treat!
Giselle ValdezMay 10, 2014
Don't go to brunch here if you're actually hungry! Very small entrees. Too small if your having unlimited drinks.
Faye HAugust 22, 2015
Mediocre in every way. At least at brunch.
Pam SimmMarch 1, 2012

Their 'Calentado' + unlimited drinks never fails.
Jastine KhoNovember 28, 2015
This place is a shit show but I LOVE IT

Ok seriously, the BEST beans and rice EVER. so simple, yet so perfect.
jenni robinsonMarch 2, 2010
During the day, sip on some cuban coffee. Its so awesome, its like crack.
Michelle RoachSeptember 29, 2013
Food is great. Service is pretty terrible.
TeresaAugust 4, 2014
Terrible service for brunch. Took them 30+ min to bring out my mediocre grilled shrimp salad. I would rather go to the Cardinal just a couple blocks away.
JulianaApril 25, 2017
DRINKS - Bottomless brunch had a good selection, mimosa, margheritta, bloody mary and etc, but glasses are not clean, just refilled, the glasses that you drink and the bottles
Christopher LornJanuary 13, 2013
Food was great, waitress wasn't.
Fanny ChanOctober 4, 2012
Cuban oxtail
Lloyd MJuly 19, 2014
Worst service ever. Over an hour & 1/2 for food. The drink carafes were not refilled in a timely manner. Never coming here again.
Ted SinkSeptember 22, 2009
try their veggie plate - plantains are delicious.
AlbertoNovember 29, 2015
Overpriced and not that good either...ambience and staff was nice though.
Lisa SOctober 27, 2011
Don't do parties with more than 6+ they absolutely screw you. Food is fine but honestly? Honor your patrons.
JMay 5, 2013
Bad service. Would not suggest for brunch
JulianaApril 25, 2017
AMBIANCE - Super tinny, super packed, LOUD, very lound, music was terrible (very loud EDM - isnt this a cuban restaurant?) and tables are all shared between random people
JulianaApril 25, 2017
SERVICE - I understand it was brunch, busy saturday, but still we waited 45 minutes when the hostess said would be 5, and did not even came back to check on us.
JulianaApril 25, 2017
(Cont)SERVICE - After eating after only 1.5 hours (which was the limit of the bottomless) brunch we got "invited to leave" because they ha md another party coming.
JulianaApril 25, 2017
FOOD - Terrible. Looks like a TV Diner, has no real taste, had hair in 2 of the 4 plates we ordered, poached egg is not even poached, steak not cooked.
