    Authentic Cuban in the heart of Bayside with spectacular service and incredibly friendly staff. Each dish is freshly prepared with just the right portion. Live music on weekend evenings and boy is it lively. If you looking for great food, music and dancing then look no further.

    I came here for breakfast with my stepmom after we went to our running club. We were starving! The restaurant was really nice inside. Our server was sweet. She took our order and brought us everything we needed throughout the meal. I ordered the French toast and my stepmom got pancakes. We also each got a kid's meal that came with bacon, eggs, hash browns, and a side of toast. I told you, we were starving! All the food was delicious. I definitely want to come back for dinner.

    Churrasco Cubano

    Went to this place for a bday dinner and I was pleasantly surprised! The decor and vibes were super fun! They have live music upstairs which is where we were. I got the Churrasco Cubano with the pickled onions on the side. It was so good I didn't even need the sauce! Honestly it was perfect and totally hit the spot for me! I'd go back for this. Only reason I'm giving this place a 4 is because the service was super super slow! It took us 30 min to get the check after we asked for it.

    I love the guacamole here. Sometimes they prepare it by table side. The food is solid here. They have a good happy hour and they also have live band on weekends. I've been here before...so far the oxtail stew and seafood paella are my favorites

    I came on a Saturday afternoon. It was fairly empty and we were seated fast. The food was very good and they have great portion sizes. I've passed by this place at night and see it gets very busy so I'm excited to give it another try when it's more active.

    Had a wonderful time here. Came for someone's birthday. There is dinner and a show. See video for the show. Several dancers perform. The food is delicious! I ordered a Cuban sandwich. Drinks are wonderful. I would return without a doubt! Highly recommend coming here!

    Came here for my friends birthday dinner a few weeks ago. We got a few dishes to share- willy's guacamole, fried calamari, cubanito, mixto ceviche, churrasco Cubano and the paella cubana. All the food was really good! BUT My friend and I got a mojito and it was the worst thing I've ever had. It was soooooo strong. I should've asked them to add some sweetener or flavor but just gave it to my bf. The red sangria was really good though and something I would get again They do have live music which I thought would be nice but it was super loud. We could barely hear each other!

    Awesome food ambiance service all very outstanding! I ordered pialla, shrimp and a coconut margarita i enjoyed everything i will definitely come again it was worth the money and drive.yaaaaas. Five stars

    Red sangria,, chicken wings.

    Food was flavorful! Service was okay. They have a Happy Hour menu available. Red Sangria was just perfect. Wing's were okay. Pollo Rumbero was delicious , tons of flavor. Churro was okay, expected better...

    Made reservations via Open table for a brunch for 5. We arrived and only had to wait 5 minutes for a table. CoVid friendly -they took our temperatures when we entered and followed proper seating and mask guidelines as well as equipped each table with hand sanitizer. Super cute place that screams Cuban filled with authenticity! The decor, music, staff and food was superb. 3 of us chose the unlimited drink menu for an additional 12.50 a person. (Note-their website says 10.95) we had champagne punch and mimosas. Both were good. Desserts were delish! They offer outdoor seating if you want to eat outdoors. We would def go back!

    Fantastic party venue
    Niurka M.

    We love The Cuban! The food can't be beat, the waitstaff is super fun and friendly, and the decor is fantastic. I recommend the Churrasco. Will definitely be back.

    I went here for brunch with my girlfriends and we had such a great time!…read more The food was delicious - from the apps to entrees, and the service was great. Our server kept checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. The calamari and shrimp ceviche were both delicious - the calamari was well battered and the ceviche was fresh. My entree, chicken baraki, was a large portion (had to take it home) and it was delicious. The drinks looked amazing but we didn't try any this time - definitely on our next visit! The spot is somewhat busy but not super noisy, which I liked. Parking is street parking and it does get busy in this area. Overall, a great spot with cool drinks and good food!

We got the bottomless mimosas. They gave us two glasses and a picture of mimosas. Everything was really good. As an appetizer we ordered the focaccia grilled cheese bites. The vodka sauce dip was so amazing. Honestly, that was hands-down, the best thing. For our main, I ordered the Mediterranean Benedict. They made the Benedict. Perfect, I love the prosciutto with it. It does come on top of a focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the sweet potato fry squares. I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes and I didn't read the menu to see to get something else. Also, the Greek churro was so good with the feta whip. This is definitely a really cute place. Everyone who works there is so kind and polite. It is definitely worth a stop in for brunch.

I got the blueberry pancakes, eggs, turkey bacon and cold cream ice latte in the flavor mocha crumb. The food was phenomenal.

The service was fast and the restaurant was clean. Definitely worth the visit.

    Been wanting to try this brunch place on Bell Boulevard in Queens for awhile! Came on a Saturday…read moreafternoon with friends and we got seated right away. The place is known for their pancakes and they have a huge variety! I was debating between the blueberry pancakes or the banana brulee pancakes. I went with the blueberry pancakes and it was delicious! Lots of blueberry inside the pancakes and blueberry compote on top. The pancakes were fluffy and flavorful without being too sweet or overload. My boyfriend and I also shared a salmon eggs benedict on the seasonal menu. It was one of the best salmon eggs benedict I've ever had. The portion was perfect - two decent sized Benedicts with a small salad on the side. The best thing is that the Benedict is not on an English muffin, but a hash brown. The service was great as they came by several times to ask if we were ready to order before we actually ordered. They were also very attentive in refilling our water cups. The place is relatively small so I can see how it gets crowded. There is a restroom in the rear for customers. One final tip is that this place does not accept credit cards - only cash, Venmo or Zelle! Would definitely be back for the salmon eggs Benedict, to try other pancakes, and their drinks as well.

I remember coming to this place in its previous iteration (think it was called Jackson Hole)..and was excited to be trying a new spot (at least it was new to us!) I ordered my chicken souvlaki platter, but asked them to hold the fries (and just add extra salad). Others at the table had the chicken avocado club sandwich and a BLT (no tomato). Everything arrived very quickly....super hot and fresh. The food was excellent! My souvlaki was cooked perfectly and the giant chunk of feta on top of the salad was delightful. I probably should've asked them to hold the pita, but I did indulge in most of it. The tzatziki sauce was also just right. Nice to know that there's another good diner to choose from in the old hood!
