This restaurant never fails! The plantain chips (mariquitas) took me straight back to evenings in Santiago de Cuba. The plaintain «”maduros” were perfect, as always. A vegetarian’s paradise!

flavor of the Arroz con Pollo is pretty good very nice , its not spicy yet its still super flavorful. The chicken is dry but the sauce makes up for it kinda , 7.7/10. The fried plantains are pretty good too, 7.9/10 . The rice is eh, there is a lot of it and i never get close to finishing it all. Theres also sometimes stale bits so 6.1/10. Overall this dish is only good if your craving it and I do be craving it quite often for some reason

I ordered the Cuban sandwich, croquetas, and the flan. Here is my honest review.
The croquetas were uncontrollably delicious. Crunchy to touch but soft as you bite right into them. The jálepeno sauce has a strong taste of tomato with a great hit of spicy at the end.
The Cuban sandwich came deliciously prepared. But after a few bites, it becomes quite overwhelming as the curated pork takes over the entire sandwich-making each bite boring and undesirable.
Flan..well the flan was definitely worth its $10. Creamy, soft, and a hint of a homemade taste.
Skip the Cuban sandwich and get yourself a plate worth every penny. Overall 8/10.
True and honest latino review.

Worst food ever. Mashed Potatoes were SWEET potatoes, not at all what they imply, and the braised beef #1 rated item was TERRIBLE. Super sweet as well as everything else and not worth the money. I can truly say I will never be ordering food from here again
