This is real food and based on the taste its prepared by real people with real roots in Cuban cuisine/culture. The Pork Chunks *Mamas de Puerco are like chicharron in Central America. Perfectly prepared fatty chunks of meat. The Cuban is as good as you'll find outside of south Florida. The Sweet Plantains *Platanos Maduros are prepared to perfection and it's actually difficult to find plantains that are even able to be cooked this well in NC. My only concern is with the Pork Chunks *Masas de Puerco- the dish lacks condiments. It's basically just perfectly cooked fatty pork chunks with a few sautéed onions and a ton of white rice. Black beans and some chilero(fermented vegetables) would make this one the best dishes in Asheville.
We've lived in south Florida, and all throughout Central America and we'll be ordering again. Like I said- real food.
Lots of love to the good people that prepared this food!

This is a no for me, super greasy and burnt empanadas (grease dripping from the bag) patacones were ok (I make them at home and are better) and their dipping sauce? I am not sure what that was it was like lemon dip (not good at all with patacones) and then the chicken was meh…I basically wasted some $$$. Will be my first and last. If you want good Cuban cuisine go to “cousins” in Black mountain.

It was amazing, almost as good as my abuelas (almost). The Pork Chunks *Masas de Puerco are perfectly fried, the rice and beans are delicious. The Twice Fried Plantains *Tostones are crispy and the Chef's Cilantro Sauce is perfect to dip with. The Milk Custard *Flan (V) is sweet and creamy. I will definitely be getting this all again!
