The Cuban, overall, was just ok. This is based completely on the bread. The meat tasted pretty…read moregood, but it was on the salty side. I could taste a little citrus in the pork, giving it a good potential, but the salt quickly killed it. Back to the bread, I like a hard pressed Cuban, this was not that. It was pressed some, like I'd expect from a spatula on a griddle, but the bread was still pretty thick and soft - with a very light toast on it. There really isn't service to speak of - your order at a register. No complaints about service, there's just really none in this style of restaurant. Ambiance isn't impressive, it's literally some tables and booths to sit at, similar to what you'll see at any fast food place. When it comes to Cuban sandwiches, I don't really care about service and ambiance if the sandwich is good. It was just meh. I don't think I'd come back for a Cuban here.

Insanely good Venezuelan cooking…read more The "corniest" cachapas I have ever had in my life. (The English language is not helpful here. Why does one use the word "corny" both for "tastes like corn" and "like a Dad joke"?" ) Here corny means tastes like corn. Corn tastes really really good. I nominally had a pernil cachapa - but most of what filled my cachapa was cheese. Really really good cheese. Add an interesting crema on top and I was one happy boy. * * * An earlier meal involved fried fish and the house black beans. The fried fish was insanely good. It was a whole fish with wedges cut into it to keep the fish flat. I inhaled the whole thing. Okay, maybe not the bones, the tail and the head ... But basically I inhaled the whole thing. Black beans are flavored with some kind of citrus - probably lime. These are also addictive. * * * I did not have dessert - because I waddled out of the restaurant stuffed to the gills each of the times I went. Stuffed to the gills is good. Insanely good is also good. Overall, I would consider this to be a destination location.

Parking was a bit tight with only a few spaces available, but once we stepped inside, the experience more than made up for it. We were greeted by Juli, who also served us, and she immediately set the tone for a great visit. She was patient, welcoming, and took her time walking us through the menu--explaining each dish, how it's prepared, and what makes everything unique. Her commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out. She mentioned that every item on the menu is made in‑house, and it absolutely shows. Management should know what an asset they have in her. My wife ordered the Mago BLT Frita, beans (similar to refried), and a side of three croquetas--and she couldn't stop talking about how incredible everything tasted. I went with the Frita Tradicional and the pea soup of the day. We had never tried a Frita before and honestly didn't even know what to expect, but everything was delicious. The pea soup and the croquetas were real standouts--a perfect example of why in‑house preparation makes such a difference. Since we're not from the area, we weren't sure where to go for lunch, and we truly lucked out choosing El Mago de las Fritas--and having Juli as our server. Thank you, Juli. As the website proudly says, "Making Magic for Over 35 Years," and our visit proved it.

Holy smokes-Shut the front door and the back one too!!!!…read more This place has been around forever and I can't it believe that I have never been here. I had been craving a REAL Cuban frita.old school with potato sticks and all and this place did not disappoint. Making fritas for almost 50 years, Ortelio Cardenas (now over 80 and still coming into work everyday) and his amazing daughter, Martha, have really created something authentic and special. We started off with the croquetas - they are casera, meaning home made. EVERYTHING IS HOMEMADE!! I am picky about my croquetas and these reminded me of the ones I had as a kid with my grandmother using the molinero (grinder) in the kitchen. They were seasoned and fried to a golden perfection. They also have fresh juices and shakes. We opted for Watermelon juice and a Malteado (malted shake). Sooo refreshing and good! Our fritas came out soon after. I had the traditional and the hubs had his "Al caballo" which means it has a fried egg on top. If you don't know what a frita is-- imagine a smash burger but made into a perfect patty and with a blend of Cuban spices topped with your choice of tomato, lettuce, a fried egg, it always with potato sticks on top for crunch beautifully wedged in between to pieces of the best bun you can imagine. THAT is a frita. It's an experience and this is the place in which to experience it. It totally hit the spot and more than satisfied a long time craving. Best thing I've eaten in a while!!! Don't forget the cafecito and dessert. We had the home made flan, and again, I can't say enough. It's creamy and delicious and one of THE best flans I've had since Lila's closed down. I'm obsessed with the food, the very fantastically, Cuban atmosphere, and the wonderful service. There is a Cuban pride that you can't help but feel. - pride of food and pride of culture. It's infectious and I can't wait to go back! DALE'!

We started with the mussels, and they were excellent! huge portion and full of flavor. The buttery white wine sauce was so good, especially with the French fries on the side. Honestly, we could've stopped there and been happy. We also ordered the tuna, which was just as good. Since it was Valentine's Day, we ended up having two bottles of wine to celebrate, and both were delicious. For our main courses, my husband ordered the lamb and I went with the fish special, which was stuffed with cheese and topped with walnuts. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. We finished with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect way to end the meal. Everything was spot on!!! from the food to the wine to the service. We're absolutely coming back, and I already have my next order planned: the duck.

The place was packed, and their pastries looked incredible at the front. The service was quick and attentive, which I liked for a weekday lunch. As for the food, the jamon iberico croquetas were amazing. The jamon iberico and machego platter- how can you get that wrong? The huevos rotos were very good. The pan con tomate could have been crispier and saltier, but other people at the table loved it. The hake on the business lunch was a total miss for me. The fish was overcooked, the sauce was flavorless, and it was this think gelatin like texture that really did not do it for me. Everyone at the table agreed, and the server took it back without question - nice. The paella was good! I thought the rice was cooked perfectly. The cochopo was GREAT and very unique, I'd never had that before. The standout dish was definitely the cuchinillo though - wow.

When we arrived, the restaurant was packed, but the wait was not too bad so we decided to stay. I ordered the Sopa Marinera, a dish I have had before in Chile, and it was delicious. I absolutely recommend it. The seafood tasted fresh, the soup was served very hot but yet the seafood was not overcooked. The service was very attentive and friendly, even though they were extremely busy. It's nice to see that all guests receive the same level of care. My only downside was the parking. The plaza parking fills up quickly, so if you arrive at a busy time, you may have to wait for a spot unless you get lucky.
