    Lechon hit the spot, but do not skip the mariquitas with mojo!!! They were the stars. Not my favorite papa rellena. Pastelito was decent. Cortadito was great!

    Nice clean restaurant and decor. Ordered the lechon. Good flavor and very juicy. I enjoy the mojo sauce, which is a garlic and olive oil combo. Service was friendly, but a little slow and the waitress seemed overwhelmed, despite only having a couple tables. She forgot to bring drinks multiple times and the drinks that arrived, were warmer than I would like. Definitely recommend the food, but hoping they can improve service. I hope I can upgrade to a 5 star next time.

    The empanadas are buttery, flaky, and full of flavor. They are stuffed just right , and you can taste that quality. Will be back !!!

    This place is an absolute gem! I have had the pleasure of meeting both the mother and son who own this location and you can absolutely tell that they pour their hearts into it. The food is phenomenal, truly transports you to Cuba, the drinks are fantastic, and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend to try their Cubano espresso martini, the cubano sandwich and their empanadas!
