I really enjoy they're oxtails, the ham croquettes, the sandwiches and of course they're wonderful coffee. The service has always been fast and efficient... Basically just a good honest meal with a Cuban flair and flavor.

For starters, I appreciated the complimentary Cuban bread (which they graciously gave us another serving of)! I had the Bistec de Palomilla, the traditional skirt steak, with a generous serving of black rice and beans and yummy plantains which were a sweet treat to end the meal with. My partner had the ropa vieja, the sauteed shredded beef with onions and peppers, along with some garlic yucca. Overall, I recommend this place to Cuban food seekers in the area. With a great price point, traditional menu, and fantastic service, this place can't be beat.

The place itself was nice and inviting. We had a good dining experience in that aspect. Food and drinks: Food was well seasoned and had good flavours. I enjoyed pairing of ingredients in the beet salad with goats cheese. Initially I was pleased to see that majority of red wines on the drink menu were from Italy and Spain. I ordered Tempranillo but learnt quickly that they didn't have any Italian or Spanish wines to serve during our visit. I guess the restaurant keeps them only for display in the bar area. Pricing: $$ the food is not overpriced. I wish we had a chance to sample their wines (priced around $13-$15 per glass).

However the yucca both fried and con mojo lacked flavor. I had the pernil asado and it was moist and well seasoned. I also enjoy my congris but was a little disappointed when I had to salt my yucca con mojo bc it lacked flavor. It just tasted like boiled yucca. That would be my only complaint in regard to the food. The service started off good and they were very friendly. However it took forever to get our check as it seemed like there were only 2 waitresses but only one of them could take orders and produce the bill. It would be better not to have to wait so long when you're ready to go. With that being said I would still come back!

The food was delicious, wait staff courteous, just spectacular. The Cuban sampler with the tamale was superb as was the pernil and everything else. Prices were high on the Cuban sandwich 18$ for a Cubano and fries should be $12. Also, $9 for fries yucca (5 sticks), should be $5 max, other than that it was great.

FYI, they also have great prices. $1.25 and 60 cents hah! I bought them by the dozen. Last time I was in Miami it was easily 3 times that and not as good. This is truly a Hidden gem.

I do find it interesting that they charge $10 for it, even if you're ordering food. The food was actually pretty good too, I was skeptical at first because of the rating on yelp and mixed reviews. My friend and I shared the Cameron's al Ajillo and it was soo delicious, we ended up ordering a other one! The sides we got were the Tostones and Arroz Amarillo con Vegetales and they were soo yum too! We also asked if they had a spicy sauce and they did, my mouth is watering thinking about it!

I also ordered their strawberry lemonade, which had a thicker consistency for juice. It was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness and tartness. Their drinks are solid. I tried the Cuban sandwich, which was okay in my opinion. As I dove right into it, the pork flavor was interesting & every few pieces of the outer meat were a tad bit hard. When I ate it later for dinner though, the sandwich tasted so much better for some reason. Lol maybe cuz everything was marinating and softening idk. It's good, but I wouldn't order this sandwich again. I prefer chicken. I tried some of my dad's fricasa de cerdo. Loved it! Reminded me of a stew, but I would not drink the whole bowl because it is on the saltier side. It was served extra hot, and the chicken was tender. For the sides, my dad got the fried ripe plantains (sweet and soft) and the fried yucca sticks (tastes like potatoes - crispy on the outside), which paired nicely with a garlic sauce. Service was great! They are very warm and kind to their customers. I highlyyyy recommend this place to anyone looking for good Cuban cuisine. It's never too busy or loud when we go. Plenty of parking!

Authentic Dominican/Caribbean food in Willowbrook. Who knew?…read more I remember this place from a birthday party decades ago. The space was a bit bigger (they've since redesigned it smaller), but the crowds were smaller. Success hasn't tarnished their food. It was a very rainy and soggy afternoons and the place was packed. We managed a table and ordered. Can't go wrong with the delicious shrimp mofongo. I honestly think the sauce is the icing on that cake, made all the more delicious with a squeeze of lemon. Whew! Service was fast and dinner came out at a reasonable pace. The owner is so friendly and stopped by our table to make sure things were good. Better than good! If you're in the Willowbrook area do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner. Prices are a little steep, but what's isn't these days?

I ordered the pollo guisado and moro, both were good and we have a little left over. My partner ordered the pica pollo and the fried chicken was decent. The food does take some time, and servers did not check in too often so I would recommend ordering ahead of time (unless you have a long lunch break), There are plenty of tables, but it is a little dark inside, 2 bathrooms inside. The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point. Plenty of parking as it's in located along other stores.
