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.

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!

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.

I literally tipped 35% on my lunch that was just ok and for service that was less than friendly today. Yes that's partly on me because I just paid and didn't check my ticket but I mean who expects it to be added on for a party of 3. So moving on, we were in a search for an amazing Cuban sandwich and this place had good reviews. The bread they bring to the table is really good, the empanadas were tasty and the sandwich was just ok. The two men working seemed more interested in the soccer game on tv than anything else and I was just overall disappointed. We were the only people in there, maybe that was our sign, who knows. We came, we saw and we probably won't return.

I had a Guava and Queso and a Guava pastellito and they were perfect. Gooey filling not all pastry and they were not dried out. The Cuban bread was HUGE, flaky but not dried. Of course the experience is pointless without some Cafe con Leche. Unless you need a serous caffeine fix, order a medium or small. They are very generous. 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. So instead of donuts for the office, come by and get a couple dozen, and you will be the office Hero!

Ultimately they're a great addition for the neighborhood and I appreciate the offerings more than this review can express (#1).

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.
