    No thanks. Most people around me with very loud voices talking on FaceTime and others watching reels on full volume. I mentioned it to the server how rude and tacky this was and she just shrugged her shoulders. Gross

    The food was seasoned perfectly. My family enjoyed trying different meats and all were tender and delicious! It was my first time having a Cuban coffee and I’m now hooked. Only difficulty here was our server knew very little English, which made it hard to communicate with her. Otherwise, highly recommend this restaurant.

    Starting with when I arrived, I was alone, and even though there were open tables, they only offered me seating at the bar. Then they asked me to wait for two men who were leaving. I was seated at a corner table, a table for two, right next to the restroom entrance. I watched constantly as people went in and out of the restroom. I ordered two different appetizers. I was very excited to try the Cuban tamales, but to my surprise, they were extremely hard. I told the staff this, but they said it is supposed to be that way. Also, it was served at room temperature, not even heated. They still charged me for it even after I decided to return it because of how difficult it was to even go through. I don’t usually ask for discounts on the check, and the restaurant didn’t offer one. I don’t think it’s worth my time or my patience. The oven pork was not flavorful but very tender and tasty. The service was great from my waitress and two other workers, but, of course, you can only give your feedback to the staff, who can’t do much about it. It was very disappointing that my tamal situation was not taken care of. It’s definitely not worth the price. The waitresses always try their best, but I don’t know their names. I believe they put in a lot of effort, and overall, everything looked pretty much as I described before. To me, it falls under management’s responsibility, as they can only do what the manager or people in charge tell them. I will not return if I have the opportunity.
