    The plantains are amazing! Def order while you're scouring the menu! Also the Key Lime pie is legit. I don't do meat but the portobello chop was fabulous!

    The Signature Embargo Grill style has the standard Cuban dishes with Chopped Leaf Greens and Diced Tomatoes. Very interesting and makes them a bit healthier without sacrificing taste.

    Very good and very authentic Puerto Rican food. I’m a Puerto Rican from NY and this takes me back to my childhood.
