    I’m cuban and I have to say this is the WORST Cuban food I’ve ever had. We placed an online order and the food was completely inedible. The black beans were awful, the palomilla was just as bad, even the churrasco was tasteless, nothing had any flavor. The entire order went directly to the trash. We basically wasted $100. Definitely never ordering from here again.

    I ordered picadillo which I consider to be Cuban comfort food and something I always enjoy. Unfortunately this dish was very salty and was missing the raisins which compliment the briny olives. My husband enjoyed his ropa vieja though and we thought the flan was quite good. The service was excellent but the restaurant itself was very noisy. We were there on a Tuesday evening.

    The website says 17.00 for arroz relleno They charged us 19.00 for a portion that was so small it was enough for my kid Shame on this place for overcharging for extremely small portions Two entrees were enough for an adult and a child

    Absolutely terrible experience at this restaurant. My food wasn’t ready until 1.5 hours after I ordered, even though it had clearly been sitting there the whole time. The woman working the front—who seemed to be the manager—was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I showed her the timestamp of my order, and she still acted like she had no idea who I was or what I was talking about. Instead of simply handing me the bag that was literally right in front of her, she told me it “should be ready shortly,” walked to the back for all of two seconds, and came right back out with the exact same bag. If they had just admitted the mistake, it would’ve been fine. But the attitude, the disrespect, and the total lack of accountability made this one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had. I will not be returning.

    I had a bad experience this time. The food was excellent as always, but the service was disappointing. The waitress, Noheli G, had a disgruntled expression and was inattentive. She asked how many glasses we needed and brought extra ones, which was quite inconvenient. She didn't bother apologizing and simply vaguely explained that this was how it was supposed to be. It was a bad experience, even though the other waiters here are fantastic.
