From the moment we walked in, the service was prompt and friendly, but it was the food that truly made it. Every dish was absolutely spectacular. The coffee was exceptional. We enjoyed everything we ordered and left wishing this place were closer to home. If you're craving a real Cuban meal, this spot is 100% worth the visit. I'll be back every chance I get.

Food was totally amazing, I would definitely order from here again…read more We've had their truck food and had some delivered and both were great. I've had the pork black beans plantain egg and cheese arepa a few times and it's awesome. I got it recently in bowl form with an arepa on the side and it was a ton of food for the value. My boyfriend had a sliced steak arepa maybe with avocado and it was also very good. The empanadas are also amazing!! Food is knockout and the arepas are stuffed full for what you pay. So good. Definitely would order again!

I didn't know what to expect but we decided to try their Pabellon beef bowl and the beef and pork empanadas. Everything came out quick and the empanadas seemed to have been made to order and were hot when brought out to us. The empanadas were crispy, hot, and full of meat filling. The Pabellon bowl came with an arepa on the side. It was our first times having arepa and we enjoyed the saltiness flavor of it. The denseness of the arepa was a new experience for the both of us, it's something that you just have to try for yourself! The bowl goes well with the light, creamy sauce that is brought out with it. The staff are kind and helpful, glad to have been able to support a local business in Charlottesville!

Not Authentic or Special…read more My friend and I wanted to love this place. When we saw that this place had 4.5 stars, we were stoked. What we go was less than mediocre. Look at the attached photos. The chips clearly came from a bag that I could have gotten at Wal-Mart. The cheese wasn't even queso, it was nacho cheese. The taste reminded me of the cheap, overpriced nachos at a Regal Cinema. I ordered the tacos. The meat tasted like something I could cook at home. Am I an amazing cook? Nope. That's how the chicken and pork tasted. The salsa might have been the worst part. The salsa tasted like tomato paste and salt. Some of the worst salsa I have had at a Mexican/Latino restaurant. My friend's burrito was filled with fresh ingredient, but was blander than drywall. When the primary ingredient you taste in your burrito is the tortilla, then there's a problem. Overall, my friend and I left disappointed and wondering why we didn't just make this same food at my place. The store is nice and so is the service (cute kid working at the register), but the food is not worth paying for.

Although the food actually tasted good the proportions are so atrocious I am giving them 2 stars bc this is just ridiculous. Their burritos are MASSIVE (think old school chipotle) and the sauce on it tastes great. Here are the problems: the amount of rice is criminal. Literally 3/4 of the burrito is JUST rice. Genuinely the food tastes good so they could really scale back a lot on the size and just do a smaller burrito for the same price and just make the proportions make no sense. I don't want to bite into straight rice in a tortilla. The "street corn" was plain corn kernels and the "fajita veggies" were just uncooked bell pepper strips. Not my fav. The platanos black beans rice and chicken all taste good. Another issue is they charge about $4 EXTRA dollars in the burrito for protein. Why not just make the base price inclusive of the meat? Also if I'm paying an extra $4 for meat i expect a decent portion of it since I'm paying for it separately. Again - 3/4 of the burrito was rice and the meat was nowhere to be found. Both burritos had this issue so it was not a one off issue, this is how they're making them. The arepa balls we ordered came with 3. Another ripoff. Food tastes fine but for what you pay for you get 3 billion pounds of rice stuffed into a tortilla with 2 pieces of chicken. The food tastes good but I'm sorry the rice issue is excessive. Would not order from here unless this gets fixed.

We came after the Dairy Market egg hunt for some snacks We ordered the yucca fries which were so delicious my 2yr old screamed for his own order after he was only left one. They come with a slightly spicy jalapeño lime dip but do not be shy to ask for their habanero dip for extra spice or the garlic aioli if you prefer no spice. We also ordered the Cheese Arepa Balls- hot, gooey and delicious. Again, do not be shy about the dips- I loved the habanero dip to cut through deep fried cheesy goodness. Protip- after ordering here use your leftover Jalapeño dipping sauce for the Momo's at Currylicious. *They provide a traditional but basic tomato dipping sauce
