Always delicious and greasy. The jibaritos are good and my friends love the Yesenia Fries. They updated the decor inside, looks great!

Very friendly service. Coffee is sweet and delicious. I always go here for the steak sandwiches. They remind me of sandwiches I use to eat when I was younger. Prices did go up a bit but it is worth it.

Very disappointed. Went to get a large cafe con leche. While waiting I’m seeing it be made and notice the guy making my drink pour in old espresso but make fresh espresso but once the milk was finished he never added the fresh espresso so I paid for sugar steamed milk. I always would come there to get a cafe con leche and a jibarito but now never again. I called and the person I spoke with well let’s just say it didn’t get resolved.

The plantain for the sandwich was burned and lacked flavor , the meat had a good taste but because the plantain was burned it ruined the sandwich . The meat was soft and tender and good flavor . We also tried the empanada which was just okay very small for the price . Not sure if I would be willing to give them another try.

My first time here abs they were all SUPER FRIENDLY. I got the Cuban which was good, but the ham, egg, and cheese??? I wish I could eat one EVERYDAY!!!!

Fresh, prompt, cheap and original. There Cuban sandwich was bomb. Plantains were amazing.

They have the most delicious jibarito steak sandwich for the best price! & don’t even get me started on how great their green salsa is. I ALWAYS ask for extra containers of it. My boyfriend loves their Cuban double steak sandwich, I always steal a bite of it. Also, service is great! Everyone is very kind and attentive. There was a time last year where I would go once a week, it’s a must try if you want to taste good Cuban food!

One of the city's hidden gems. The food is stupid delicious! All the wild not hurting your pocketbook. This place honestly was a journey well-traveled

Great food! Great service ! And very cozy place!

I highly recommend it very fresh and delicious
