Fresh, hot, yet soft crispy bread - the way a Cuban is to be! I also got the Devil crab and a side of collards. It was all great! One of the best part is the owner, Mr. Jim Anderson himself shares all his family treasures, lifestyle, music, and stories with guest. The decor in the restaurant is musician heaven with different instruments and artifacts - very jazzy/blues feel. Come to find out from the very informative lady working, that Saturday afternoons they have live acoustic music from one of the band members?!? I need more info tooooo- ! I was there on my lunch break, so I need to go back to update more photos and hidden gem stories I just know this man has! This is the kind of history I love and cafes I want to keep around!! He also does tours and will walk you through his shop, which from the outside looks small but there's a whole area you didn't even know exist, with I believe, every machine that helped develop the history of printed production. Kinda cool! Very Personal and Real Education on REAL history!

I ordered tacos and my gf got a chicken burrito. The tacos came on double corn tortillas. There was a lot of meat on the tacos, despite the variety I had ordered. I got al pastor and beef. They were amazing, not gourmet, but tasty and plenty. The burrito was also very good and plentiful, with nice rice and beans inside. Everything was well cooked. I would say the food was not exotic or outrageous, just perfect. I ended my meal with a in-house flan. It was delicious just like everything else. I can't believe I would find this gem in this small town. I highly recommend it.

They do not have iced tea- fair selection of bottled drinks tho. I did not get a drink so i do not know if they have cups with ice. Its a carnival type of trailer serving food from a window. Do not let this stop you- food was worthy of any sit-down place. Everything was served "to go" in a bag. When i sat down to eat i discovered napkins and silverware were not included- only 4 stars for service. Cole slaw without a fork is difficult. I would go again, just more aware that i need to pay attention. Seating is outside with generous picnic tables and umbrellas. Hot or rainy days might be less comfortable, but a sunny January day was perfect.
