Not impressed and so not coming back. The tables are very small and chairs were very uncomfortable. They have no ice or straws for drinks. Now the food...Ordered a simple potato ball and it came out cold and got the second one burnt (like charcoal). They forgot to bring the chicken soup which was a specialty and we had to wait longer for it to arrive (isn't soup made in large batches). To end it all if you pay cash you don't pay tax but they will charge you tax on your final bill if you pay with credit card The only positive thing I could say is the music was good.

The food it's ok.OK., but they charge you whatever they wish. I order a "rabo encendido" and I only got two small pieces. I also order a tamal cubano and it was only dough (la carne brilló por su aucencia). This is going to be the last time I would order from this restaurant. Please stay away from them. They close the restaurant to go on vacation, and then open when they wish to. If you want authentic cuban food you need to go to South Florida or go to El Rican Criollo on hwy 6 here in Houston. I gave only one start because you have to give some. Otherwise they would get cero

Delicious cuban food, don’t hesitate to visit

Don’t walk away RUN! There are plenty of authentic Cuban food trucks around the same area, this people charge you whatever they are feeling, don’t order based on the prices in their menu, THEY WONT CHARGE YOU WHAT IS LISTED ON THEIR OWN MENU, just spend almost $100 on a lunch for 2, when it was supposed to be roughly $65, they ended up charging $5 for a side of avocado (that was 3 slices!!!) if you don’t want to get ripped off STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

Pretty good Food! Very authentic to Cuba and the traffic of people coming in dies indicate they do a good job, however the food is even better. Will definitely go back.

Price are outrageous & they will not give you a glass of water. You have to buy the tiny bottled water for 2 dollars. Never again!

Food isn't very good. Pricing not bad¡

Cuban ? % love it

Food too salt y bad customer service

1st time at this place and everything was super delicious ? ordered pork fricase with rice and wow. I'll recommend this little hidden Cuban food restaurant. No, I didn't take photos, but food presentation was key ?
