    Entrance. First time visiting. Will review afterwords!

    Came here for the first time on a very excited note, however, that was not the case. The food is over priced and they serve what called kids size food. I ordered Vaca frita with yuca and arroz congri and a fruit shake. The congri came cold but tried to eat it and couldn't. The vaca frita meat came cold as well and I tried to eat it cold as well but I felt like I was going to get sick. I called the lady waitress and explained to her that my food was cold. She took my plate and a few minutes later, the same food came back. Rice was as hot as it should've been but the vaca frita meat was a little warm. I ate it because I was hungry but, I won't be visiting this place that I was hoping with excitement and expectations. Recommendations: 1-if you're going to charge over $17 for a very small amount of food that includes a very small amount of cheap rice and flavorless vaca frita, it should at least be served hot to customers. Additionally, your portions are for kids. My wife had to ask for more yuca since she was given three pieces for a plate that cost $17. I have attached a photo of Vaca Frita! The place is small and they have a Latin American grocery store next door! In closing, this is one of the few places that I have given a two or less stars and would hope that you take this constructive review to improve your food portions & prizes.

    The restaurant is located next door to a Cuban grocery store. It has a colorful outside exterior and inside is a quant and welcoming spot with steady traffic. The staff is friendly and attentive. I ordered the Cubano sandwich with fries and my friend ordered the pork plate with Yucatan fries and plantains. The food arrived quickly and was seasoned well. The portion and the value was spot on. My sandwich was big and the bread was excellent. Crusty and soft at the same time. Her pork was tender and she really liked her food. A cool spot to check out.

    We happen to be in the area of Converse at the Cuban grocery store and we saw that this restaurant next-door so we walked in because we figured it was a Cuban restaurant. It's a very cutely laid out restaurant with room for quite a few people. The staff was accommodating and friendly. We were the first I guess to come in at mid afternoon and we were well taken care of. We ordered the Cuban sandwich to divide between my wife and I. We also ordered some empanadas and I had a "café con leche" which was very good and well-made. The Cuban sandwich was one of the best. I have tried in all of San Antonio so I would most likely recommend this restaurant to anybody who is looking for a very good Cuban sandwich. Our server was more than welcoming and wanting to make sure that our request was adhered to, and it was. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the Cuban sandwich, therefore you'll have to just go there and try it. We will definitely return to this restaurant although it's a bit away from where we live. It was well worth the trip.

    Being a Cuban from Miami, I am disappointed in myself for not knowing there was a Cuban restaurant just minutes from my house. This place is hidden and almost missed it. The staff here is very friendly and the restaurant has some very nice decor, cool modern style. We ordered the Q Bola basket and a Cuban sandwich. The basket came out quick but the sandwich did take a bit long. However it was worth it! All if it was freshly made, tasted like real good Cuban food! Q Bola got this Cubans seal of approval! We will be regulars here!

    From the moment we walked in, the service was incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The entire place was also very clean and well kept, which made the experience even better. I'm already excited to bring my mother in law here for her birthday.

    Cuban sandwich

    First time here and I was craving a Cuban sandwich since my trip to Florida. Was a bit confused as you can't see the restaurant from the street. It is right next to China Express and right next door is also a small Cuban market. I didn't check it out though. I came here for the sandwich only, but I did order the Cuban croquettes. Ambiance was calming and cozy. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it was empty. You can still see the Halloween decors. It looks like they have a small selfie area or something. Nice wall decorations and I love the penny bar countertop. Really cool! I ordered my food to go and the wait time wasn't too long. Maybe a good 10-15 minites. Service was nice and friendly. I didn't have any problems with them. They speak English too. The croquettes were good, decent, with the basic mayo-ketchup dip. Nothing that stood out to me, but still good. The Cuban sandwich was just okay, not something I will order again. I didn't have too much of a high expectation, but I also didn't expect it to be meh. One of my favorite things of a Cuban sandwich is the pickles. This sandwich didn't have much pickles, just a few round cuts of pickles like what you would get from ordering a hamburger. It could use more swiss cheese also. The fries that came with the sandwich were not salted either. Overall, it was a simple Cuban sandwich that didn't have the wow factor for me as it had in Tampa. Would I recommend? Not sure yet. I would like to order other menu items to really decide if this restaurant is something I would recommend. Would I go back? Yes, I'm open to trying other menu items.

    I love this place since it offers authentic Cuban food. Today, I had the roast pork with Moro rice and yucca. It was amazingly delicious and reminded me of Cuban restaurants in Miami. The waitresses are extremely nice and friendly. If you love Cuban food you won't be disappointed.

    First time going to a Cuban restaurant and it didn't fail. The food was delicious and very flavorful. I got the Cuban sandwich and it was perfect. It was light, not heavy and perfectly well balanced. Our server was attentive and nice- no complaints there. It's a great restaurant for lunch or an early afternoon dinner. Haven't gone at night, but they had a small stage at the front- not sure for what. One of people with me is Cuban and he verified the food was authentic and would go back again!

They have some nice hot bread they bring out. We decided on Veal Piccata and Saltimbocca. Both were tender and had a flavorful sauce over spaghetti noodles cooked al dente. And the tossed salad with balsamic dressing was very tasty.

    Was craving an Italian dinner for my birthday and since this was my daughter's favorite place, I…read moredecided I must try it for myself. This place is located in not-so-easy to find, around the corner of an outdoor shopping area. I am truly glad we found it. Arrived for an early dinner, 6 PM, happened to be one of the first to arrive. Fair warning as of this post, they do not have a liquor license, therefore outside wine and beer is currently acceptable. We brought two bottles of wine which they chilled for us. Ordered the Calamari as an appetizer along with the Balsamic Bruschetta. Really a great start. Both very delicious. Wish we had ordered another of the Bruschetta. This place is a definite Mom & Pop shop, so service can be a little slow. Be patient, they are working very hard. We were a table of 5, but around 6:45 they started setting up for a party of 16! We hurried to place our food order. I have issues with Dairy but paid no mind to this issue for all the freshly made food. Chicken Cacciatore for my daughter and Chicken Piccata for Me! So good, my son ordered a Large Margherita pizza, we each had a slice and he still had some to take home. AND the crust was fresh, baked to perfection. Really a good pizza. Someone else ordered the Baked Ziti, it looked really good presentation wise. Definitely recommend finding this out-of-the-way place, good food with reasonable prices. Oh we also had dessert, Tiramisu and Black Forest Cheesecake. Perfect way to end a really good meal.

Food: the salads looked fantastic. Fresh lettuce and veggies and quite large in size. Everyone that got a salad said they were very good and hearty. Employees: the ones that delivered our food were friendly but very much a self service place. Pizza: the sauce lacked flavor, not enough cheese and toppings were minimal. The crust you can tell is cooked on a brick fire. When the pizza was initially delivered, I grabbed a slice and tried it. While it was hot it was edible but not wow this is fantastic. But after 1 slice the crust the pizza cooled off and the crust was so hard that I could barely chew it. I carry my own hot sauce and I put it on the pizza to eat it. When we got home my husband was in the bathroom all evening. It upset my stomach. I did not eat the crushed red pepper flakes and he did, be careful of the table side toppings. Restaurant cleanliness: average Bathroom cleanliness: average even though there was standing water in the ladies bathroom stalls.

Food: Although the pizzas looked good, they are far below average (think cardboard with a few toppings). Sauce was minimal and dismal. Toppings were sparse. And the pizza was inconsistently cooked, one part of the pizza was overcooked, another part undercooked. Overall, I've had better frozen pizzas. Service: order at the counter, servers bring your food to the table Ambiance: striving for a New York vibe but it comes off more like a sports bar Overall cleanliness: average Bathroom cleanliness: average
