    If you don't know what to order get the sampler (4 stuff) and the entree combo (chicken, pork and beef). The portion here is huge so be prepared to ask for a to go box. I love their fresh juice too.

    This place was great! Atmosphere was warm, service was fantastic. Gluten free options were plentiful and portions were big. You should go here and eat til your heart is full with Cuban culture & food

    Make sure that you come here on the weekend for breakfast/brunch. Great place to start your Saturday morning or Sunday/Fun day.

    Go with the fried Yucca for your appetizer and the bistec habana.—they're delicious and authentic. Trust me, I'm Cuban.

    The Vaca Frita is awesome! And you can't go wrong with the original Mojito!

    Don't order the omelet with plantains - opt for potatoes. You will have so many plantains, you will have more than your fill.
