    this place doesn't feel like a restaurant, but some Cuban family's kitchen and they're inviting you in to eat with them.

    Yellow rice is great but the chicken chunks were dry. I went an hour before close, so maybe try prime time

    Be nice to the staff and the food flies out of the kitchen. 'Muchas gracias' goes a long way. The Cuban is fantastic.

    Cuban sandwich is 6.75, not 4.75 like it says here. And I've definitely had better for cheaper.
