The only thing missing for me is the hot sauce which is easily added. This is a solid plate of food and on point for other Cuban restaurants I've been to. My wife ordered the Cuban sandwich. It has just the right ration of meat to cheese to bread and was perfectly pressed. If you're looking for a solid Cuban restaurant experience, this is your place!

The Cuban sandwich and grilled chicken were excellent…read more The fries weren't the same when I returned for a second visit. The first time they were amazing, shoestring fries. The second time they were breaded and a bit mushy inside. I'm not sure which is the norm. There is indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice. I wish they had a cilantro sauce for the chicken, like many Cuban restaurants in Miami.

The chicken is so flavorful and not dry...it's all so good. The staff is warm and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. The space is a bit cozy, so larger groups might find it a tight fit, and the wait for food can be on the longer side. But trust me, it's worth every minute. The food here truly tastes homemade, as if Abuela made it herself, which makes the wait feel like part of the experience. Highly recommend!

There are the requisite national flags to add to the international flavor. Thumbs up!
