Beril EsenNovember 7, 2015Carnivores 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.
Yera HaAugust 10, 2014ropa 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.
Jaimee EstrellerJune 13, 2015All 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- ElisaMarch 7, 2019Paella 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.
Aditi LuthraSeptember 27, 2017Got 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!
Sara 🌈⚔🍾July 9, 2017Great drinks- try the frozen mojito and the spicy tequila and blackberry margarita. Yummy snacks too!- Sara 🌈⚔🍾July 9, 2017Great drinks- try the frozen mojito and the spicy tequila and blackberry margarita. Yummy snacks too!
- DoubleDeuceAugust 29, 2014All of the shareable items are fantastic. Plus, Tuesday & Thursday nights are dancing nights. Phenomenal dancing. Plus, the barstools are drums!
- Nate FolkertMay 26, 2016grilled chicken sandwich with hearts of palm and avocado, served with herb fries
GinaJune 8, 2011Possibly the best salsa party left in the city these days - Tuesday nights. Watermelon Caipirinhas are dangerously delicious & fresh! But hurry, it's seasonal.
MarioJuly 26, 2013Even if you don't want to eat just try their great appetizer!! Please try croqueta de chorizo !!!!
Kimberly FisherDecember 2, 2012Beautiful little spot with amazing food, understated comfortable ambiance and the nicest waitstaff.
Harish HoonJanuary 29, 2015You can't go wrong mixing Cuban and Brazilian! I enjoyed the Ropa Vieja and the Camarao a Baiana
Thiago LinsMarch 5, 20211 - ropa vieja, 2 - lechón. Decent selection of wines by the glass. Ask for the homemade hot sauce.
Germanczd GalvisAugust 5, 2015Service , location, personnel , ambience & most important... Food's delicious and the service it's quick
Amazing $5 happy hour drinks and food. Try the plantains and empanadas - both are really good!
Elizabeth BursteinApril 17, 2017Nice outdoor setting but wasn't a huge fan of the Cuban sandwich. Too much pork and not much flavor. Good guacamole
Port Harbor HomesJuly 5, 2013Lovers of Cuban food need to come here. Authentic food, great music and nicest waitresses/waiters/bartenders.
s vMarch 21, 2015Picky bottomless policy -- have to order before 2:30 ...and if table is greater than 6 ALL have to order
Melissa SepeOctober 3, 2011The braised pulled pork shoulder was one of the most delicious dinners I've eaten in a long time. Read more- Adam SiroisJune 14, 2011Cuban Eggs Benedict is one of the best breakfast dishes in the city. Smoked pulled pork on poached eggs.
CristyMay 12, 2018Food is good- service is horrendous! With 5 other Caribbean restaurants near by, it’s so NOT worth it.
Violeta FMApril 10, 2013Drinks are extra strong?? Awesome live music and half a strawberry daikiri!boom
Adriana TormosSeptember 19, 2011Lunch Special is great! Half a sandwich, a soup and a mixed green salad all for $10! 11am-4pm
