The entire restaurant is very small only a handful of tables with a small outdoor area, but it's very cozy with an eclectic interior design, was sat immediately, the entire staff was beyond friendly. I only had two tacos, a carrizo and Gator Alaskan style. I cannot sing the praises of them enough. The flavor was out of this world on both, and the shells were fried to an absurdly crispy degree. If I I wasn't planning on walking around with my shirt off later in the night, I would have eaten 17 more. Well worth the stop.

I decided to order the Cuban French toast though. Generous portion and steaming hot, more than enough for two people. Pillowy soft Cuban bread gently crisped and buttery on the outside. I wasn't so sure that I liked the custard it had been dipped in, but the bread itself was pretty dreamy. I wasn't experiencing major FOMO about the Cubans. Next time, Gadget! The horchata with espresso was blissful. Hits of cinnamon, combined with a smoky espresso and sweet creamy house-made Horchata. Service was straightforward and quick, just the way I like it. .

I walked right up to the counter and ordered. I had a tiny bit of a hard time narrowing down my decision but i ended up going with the roast pork omelette which i loved. It came with my choice of bread and i picked Cuban toast which i loved as well. My husband went with the Mac Daddy which came with fish and grits and the way it smelled in the car omg i wanted to pull over and have some before we even got to our intended destination! I'm so glad we finally stopped in. The pricing was fair and the service was super quick and friendly. There wasn't a paper menu or on online so i took some pics of the screen so i have it for next time. Also, Im super pleased that I was in and out in about 15 minutes!

I've tried a few things here and the roasted pork special is by far the standout. It's very flavorful and definitely worth ordering! I've also had the grilled chicken salad and turkey wrap, but I wasn't a fan of either. If you go, stick to the Cuban or pork-style sandwiches; that's what they do best. Service is fast, prices are great, and it's an easy spot for an easy lunch.
