My friends live next to the owner of this restaurant and as he is such a lovely man, I thought his restaurant must be as nice! I was right! The food was incredible. I had never eaten Cuban nor Dominican dishes and they do not disappoint! The flavors and freshness were divine! I highly suggest checking this place out!

omg!!! everything was soooo good! the garlic sauce that comes with the yuca fries is amazingg. I poured it all over the loaded tostones. the croquetas are best with ham v chicken. mmm the el cubano and plantains are so yummy. guava smoothie bomb.

First sip was a dream, like a freshly picked Tamarindo fruit and blended with water to perfection later sifted for pulp removal. Highly recommend the Tamarindo Juice ?I don't know but the owner might have a Tamarindo tree out back, just sayin'.

Tried their most popular dish which was steak. The flavors were amazing! My first time trying Cuban food and this place did not disappoint people b

Everything was delicious!! My husband's favorite was my beans and rice ?! Excellent fish but the plantains, my favorite. My husband had a Cuban sandwich that was also very good. The menu is not huge which I like usually that means good quality, freshly made food. We can't wait until we can drive back to the cities just to eat there again.

Had the El Cubano. As someone who grew up in the city that started Cubans (Tampa), their sandwich is pretty authentic and the cuban bread is great. I would recommend to anyone around as it's the best Cuban I've had in the Midwest.

Take out or eat in! Authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. Fish was delicious and sancocho as well! Best tostones I’ve had in the USA. Highly recommended.

El Cubano sandwich was good! Bread toasted perfectly blended with that roast pork and ham meat. Would come back and try the other sandwiches.

This place is a small joint, but I think it's just perfect! Come spring, summer, and fall I can see this place being super busy. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Menu isn't too big, but this is a must stop! I had the pargo con crema de coco, which is Dominican style snapper fillet in coconut cream. And all I have to say is wow! I was able to make two meals out of this. The flavor was there and just popped. You can def taste the coconut. The fish was not dry. I had a bite of the El Cubano as well and it was good as well. I highly recommend coming here. The staff is so nice. The food came out at a reasonable time!

The food is so soo good. Authentic, delicious, home cooked vibes. I adore this place.
