We're usually…read moregreeted warmly, and although we've had one less-than-great customer service experience, our visits have generally been very positive. The food is pretty good, and we also love their Cuban coffee. The ambiance is another highlight! They're always playing Cuban music, which creates such a fun, welcoming vibe. The inside is elegant and modern while still embracing traditional Cuban touches. My only suggestion would be to be a little more transparent about pricing. During our last visit, we ordered churros for dessert, and our waiter, who was extremely friendly and helpful, offered us a scoop of ice cream to go with them. We were happy to try it, but we were caught by surprise when we realized the single scoop of ice cream cost the same as the churros themselves. It felt a bit pricey for just one scoop, especially since it was something we wouldn't normally order at that price point.

Surprisingly, this was my first time trying Cuban food, and it turned out to be very yummy!…read more I ordered the garlic shrimp, and it was packed with flavor. The onions were cooked really well, and even the yellow rice had tons of flavor. It also came with fried plantains, which had a really interesting texture. I wouldn't say they were my favorite part of the meal, but I enjoyed trying something that's such a staple. My husband ordered the steak sandwich, which was also really well made and very satisfying. The prices were affordable too. Our total came to slightly under $40, and we both left very well fed. Really glad we decided to give this place a try.

My first and last time ordering from here. My first mistake was not checking the bad reviews first…read more The second was thinking I was going to get authentic flavorful Cuban food. I ordered via DoorDash. My food came pipping hot. I ordered the Habana bowl which is Ropa Vieja, black beans, maduros, yellow rice and a salad. It's a nice size portion for one person. However, it was straight trash. A Cuban did not cook this garbage. There was zero flavor. You can't make ropa vieja without sofrito and I tasted none. No tomatoes just giant cut up pieces of green and red bell peppers. The black beans and rice were bland. If you have experienced great Cuban or Puerto Rican food you know that this is an insult to the dish.

Hopefully their catering is better. Waited over an hour for empanadas, rice and plantains. The food was sadly overcooked, skimpy and not worth the cost.

I have to say, I really enjoyed this place!…read more First of all, the ambience is casual but super cute. I felt some theme park/Downtown Disney vibes; bright and festive colors, with charming Latin music playing. You order at the counter, get a number, and pick up your food when it's ready. No table service. The food was quite tasty with fairly healthy real food options, as opposed to fast food. The prices were fair. I got a chicken thigh, pinto beans & rice, green salad and fried plantains. The plantains were amazing. Also, I really liked their hot sauce. It has a mild flavor, but if you put a lot on your food, it actually gets pretty hot. Highly recommended for a pleasant casual dining experience.

We went there for the first time, but pretty soon realized we will be back. We started with mango iced tea and guava lemonade, both are good although guava flavor is just amazing! Our strters were: marbeled potatoes and chicken empanadas. The empanadas are so good and freshly made that you can taste them. I don't particularly like caviar, so other than that topping the potatoes were very good! We ordered jerk chicken sandwich and curry chicken burrito. Both comes with pickled salads on the side, burrito with chips and sandwich with seasoned fries. The burrito is amazing, inside there's chicken in curry, avocado and other vegetables. The outside is little crisp and perfect! The jerk chicken the inside was next level, they really know how to cook their chicken (I always wondered why they be call "jerk chicken", I know now ). The bread was a little bit greasy but the chicken is just phenomenal. For dessert, we ordered coconut gelato. And I never had coconut anything that good, hands down best gelato I have ever tasted. It is not over sweet, creamy and smooth and so perfectly coconut-y. Definitely worth trying out if you haven't. Btw service was great too. Will visit again.

Ate here a few nights ago for a business dinner. Feels like the restaurant is trying too hard…read more Environment is cold and noisy. Tables were too close together. Wait staff was a bit too pretentious. I'm not sure who our server was. One girl seated us. Another took our order. A man took our drink order. A different person brought the drinks. A different person brought the food and then our original server presented the bill. When I ordered a cocktail, the man sorted of dismissed it and said we don't serve that particular alcohol here and made me feel like I was wrong (it was a drink I've had nearly everywhere I've ever eaten). During the course of the dinner it felt like the theme of the night was "no" - no, you can't get that cocktail. No you can't mix the empanadas, no you can't get that dessert to go. The food was good, though it was served past the peak of temperature and was more warm than piping hot. You can't simply have attitude and then be selectively excellent. For the attitude and the price - I would expect more accommodation, kindness and consistent service. When you have 3 Michelin stars you can get uppity. For now it's a good spot with good food - but not a place I'd go to impress.

Our go-to order is the fish tacos, and lately we've been adding a side of fries, which are so good too. I absolutely love the mango passion fruit agua fresca! Sometimes we mix it with strawberry, and that combination is another 10/10. It's the perfect drink to go with our meal. The service is great, and I absolutely love the ambiance! The inside has such a beautiful aesthetic, and I love the decor and the way everything is set up. It has such a welcoming feel that makes eating here even more enjoyable. This is one of those places we're always in the mood for. No matter what, we're always down for some Cholita! It's become one of our comfort foods and an easy choice whenever we're deciding where to eat. Between the delicious food, great service, and lovely atmosphere, we never get tired of coming back. It never misses, and I definitely recommend trying it!
