Disappointing Experience
I waited approximately two minutes before being greeted at the door. After being seated and receiving my drink, two other guests arrived and also waited more than three minutes to be greeted.
One of the guests came to my table and said she was really thirsty. I had an untouched glass of water that I was not using, so I gave it to her.
The bread and butter arrived next. The bread was burnt and dry. Of the four pieces, I ate one and about half of another. I informed my server that the bread was dry and not good. He offered to remove it from the check. I initially declined, but he insisted, so I gave him the plate.
The server ultimately forgot to remove the bread from the check. I noticed it, but I did not make an issue of it and paid for it anyway.
For my main course, I ordered the Bistec a la Milanesa with two fried eggs over black rice without olives and a house salad. Unfortunately, the bistec was not good, and the rice was flavorless. I also found several pieces of very hard rice.
The total was approximately $30, and I left a $9 tip.
To be fair, my server did offer to comp the entire meal, but I declined. I was not looking for a free meal; I simply expected the food and service to be better.
I had not eaten all day, had worked out, and was extremely hungry when I arrived. Even then, the food was still disappointing.
Three people had warned me about this restaurant before I went. I chose not to believe them. Unfortunately, on Wednesday, September 16, at approximately 3:45 PM, my experience confirmed what they had told me.
Service: disappointing. Food: disappointing.

Absolutely loved! The food was delicious and truly authentic. The black beans were to die for, tasted just like my Cuban mother-in-law’s, which is about the highest compliment I can give. 🇨🇺❤️ ¡De lo mejor!
A special shout-out to Juan, our server, who was polite, professional, friendly, and attentive. He made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
Fantastic food, wonderful service, and a genuine Cuban experience. I loved it and will definitely be back!
