Carnivores should come here and when they do, they should either get Ropa Vieja for a traditional dish or Gaucho steak if they feel more carnivorous. The maduros and yucca fries here were outstanding.

ropa vieja is a dream come true. don't be afraid to abandon your lady manners and dump that rice onto your plate, mix it all up, and eat til your plate's spotless. because that's what i did.

Paella is good and large portioned. Their seafood dishes are also generally great. There is a shrimp and coconut milk main which is great, and the clam appetizer dish is amazing and large portioned.

All you can drink brunch - they only serve you a new drink when you are finished with the other one. Food was actually good, I devoured my beef and rice. Not crowded on a Sunday, perf for boozy brunch

Got the veggie sandwich, loved the gooey goat cheese. The salad besides it was plain and uninteresting though. But + the ambiance and juice options, will come again!

All of the shareable items are fantastic. Plus, Tuesday & Thursday nights are dancing nights. Phenomenal dancing. Plus, the barstools are drums!

Possibly the best salsa party left in the city these days - Tuesday nights. Watermelon Caipirinhas are dangerously delicious & fresh! But hurry, it's seasonal.

Great drinks- try the frozen mojito and the spicy tequila and blackberry margarita. Yummy snacks too!

1 - ropa vieja, 2 - lechón. Decent selection of wines by the glass. Ask for the homemade hot sauce.

You can't go wrong mixing Cuban and Brazilian! I enjoyed the Ropa Vieja and the Camarao a Baiana

Nice outdoor setting but wasn't a huge fan of the Cuban sandwich. Too much pork and not much flavor. Good guacamole

Amazing $5 happy hour drinks and food. Try the plantains and empanadas - both are really good!
Lakshmi SSeptember 16, 2013
The blueberry caipirinha is not drinkable. The Bellini? Fabulous.

Lovers of Cuban food need to come here. Authentic food, great music and nicest waitresses/waiters/bartenders.

Their brunch deal is a good value but the food is just alright

Cuban Eggs Benedict is one of the best breakfast dishes in the city. Smoked pulled pork on poached eggs.
Lauren JohnsonMarch 16, 2013
Palmito salad is the perfect lunch - and the waitstaff are so pleasant!

The braised pulled pork shoulder was one of the most delicious dinners I've eaten in a long time. Read more

Food is good- service is horrendous! With 5 other Caribbean restaurants near by, it’s so NOT worth it.

Favela Breakfast wrap is a must have and they also have free wifi!

DJs on Tuesday and Thursday was a surprise (unexpected) discovery

I definitely want to come back for the Cuban sandwich 😍
Willy RivasMarch 24, 2013
The Cuban eggs Benedict are absolutely delicious
Alex GordonFebruary 11, 2012
Chef is either incompetent, vindictive, or both: ordered a steak medium rare, it came medium well. I sent it back, it returned raw. I gave up.
Esther LeibelMay 3, 2010
Good tuna and shrimp ceviche. The house white wine is pretty decent, too. Great music on Sunday nights.
Nick HumphriesSeptember 15, 2012
Sparkling blueberry caipirinha - boom!

The mussels are amazing!
Cristian GonzalezAugust 10, 2014
Came for brunch - super slow service even though place wasn't full. Disappointed by the empanadas - the ropa vieja is good when nursing a hangover.
Lizzie BAugust 12, 2016
Try the herb fries
Carolyn ColeSeptember 13, 2014
Absolutely horrible service. We were overcharged. Orders also came out incorrect. When we brought it to the waiter's attention HE SNATCHED the receipt out of my friend's hand and ripped it up.
