Saw this place on groupon so I decided to check it out. This is a very casual restaurant. We ate at the restaurant but it seems like it’s better for take out. Really good food — we ordered the veggie platter and a pork dinner. They only have a few people working so service is somewhat slow. We had some issues redeeming the groupon– not sure if the waitress didn’t understand how to redeem it or if it was a technical issue with the groupon site– but it was redeemed so it worked out. Overall good food but I recommend taking dinner to go.

Been here once, that’s couple days ago and probably not coming back. It’s just a small pizzeria and not so busy yet they have the worse service, turtle-​moving service, I took 40 minutes for a one piece of margarita pizza, Why? why? why?
The taste however is pretty delicious but the slow moving service makes me so disappointed.

Been here 2x, first time was take-​out. I recommend dining in! Ropa vieja is to die for! Rice and beans also tasty. Its a fun casual place that tops many of the other famous cuban places in the city by far.

Really good value for the price. Got the Cuban Sandwich with fries for $ 7.64. Fresh and home made. The interior is no thrills, but who cares. Very simple and very good.

Found this place on Unilocal and decided to check it out. The owner was so nice and cooked everything himself. We ordered the jibarito con ropa vieja, and con bistec. They were both delicious! The meat was tender and there was so MUCH meat on it. Not skimpy at all. We also ordered 2 empanadas de lechon and 1 de carne molida. I personally preferred the carne molida but my boyfriend enjoyed the ones with lechon. I think the carne molida had more flavor.
The restaurant itself is so cute and very clean. Next time we will have to try to the pizza. We will definitely be back! This place is truly a neighborhood gem.

They had a waitress working there that dropped a whole pizza fresh out of the oven on my lap. I didn’t even order a pizza, I ordered a sandwich. She went to the wrong table and spilled it on me. The owner offered to buy me a soda beverage. It was like a slap on the wrist. Poor customer service. My friends and I will not be dining here again.

Tried the Bistec encebollado with white rice and black beans, so delicious I have to say they our did themselves again with this plate. I highly recommend it

I ordered the chorizo pizza (chorizo, onions, queso fresco). It was fantastic! The Cuban fusion is done so well. I can’t wait to try more from the menu

This review is for delivery.
I was blown away at how speedy delivery was. My beef cubano and ham croquetas were still hot– the fries, (which were wholly unimpressive anyway) were lukewarm.
I ordered the cuban beef sandwich. There was a lot of meat, and I could only eat half. The croquetas were on point, although I always do prefer them a little more crispy.
All in all, great meal. I can’t wait to eat my leftovers today.

I went here randomly based on the 5 star Unilocal rating. I was hesitant at first because the menu was so eclectic. However, since my first visit (less than a month ago), I have returned to this place at least 3 – 4 times. Their beef empanadas are incredible and i have yet to have a sandwich I didn’t enjoy. I would highly recommend this restaurant as a quick, carry put option. Not exactly date material but great for a quick, delicious and cheap meal!

Excellent food, and very friendly staff.
Went here with my SO earlier this week and we were both very impressed. My media noche sandwich was superb, and the papas rellenas were seriously heavenly. The yucca with garlic and the wife’s chicken pesto sandwich didn’t disappoint either. Really happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood, and I can’t wait to get back here and try the jibaritos.

This place is great! The staff recommended very good choices. My friends and I all shared sandwiches and all three were delicious! I also got the papaya milkshake and it was very refreshing.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Everything is made fresh to order, and the menu keeps on expanding! I had the veggie jibarito, which was not the on the menu. However, they were happy to accommodate my request; it was delicious! My husband had the media noche sandwich, and he pretty much devoured it!

When you walk your eyes are rewarded with the cleanliness. As soon as you taste the food your tastebuds are satisfied with rich flavors & freshness. I ordered the Ropa Vieja sandwich and was extremely satisfied. The onions & bell peppers are cooked perfectly and meat is fresh, well seasoned and soft. An ill-​prepared Ropa Vieja demands a strong jaw for chewing, but this Ropa Vieja only demands a big appetite. I decided to remove the top bread because I wanted to still fit into my skinny jeans. :) I will definitely be back to try the Cuban… stay tuned.

New to the neighborhood and worth a visit. We had the ropa vieja sandwich with fries and the personal size margherita pizza and both were great. We ordered it for pickup and the service was good. We’ll for sure go back and try other things on the menu. Looks like a good variety.
