E A T.

STOP. Come here IMMEDIATELY. I popped in for brunch on a Sunday, no wait, Sat right at the bar. Vibrant bright sun filling the place, upbeat tunes playing. Handful of tables occupied. The vibes were 10/10 I pulled up a barstool and the menu had a lot of solid, tempting options. I went with a pressed Cuban sandwich topped with fried egg, bacon strips, hollandaise and sliced avocado. Had a beer and a shit, tasty. It was PERFECT. I'm coming back again, frequently, before this place POPS OFF. Gotta be a regular for me going forward. It is just GREAT!!!

Enticed by all the good reviews for this place and a hankering for Latin American food, I needed to…read morecheck them out. They're quiet on a Friday afternoon. Their space is very colorful and has a lot of fun energy. Their menu is pretty focused but the items all sound very tasty. We went with an Empanada of the day, The Cubano, and the Bandeja. Their focused menu certainly paid off when you see how fresh and well-executed their dishes were. The empanada of the day was a mushroom and cheese. It's made fresh so the cheese was nice and gooey. Their crust is different from what I'm used to. It seems to be a mix of maize and cornmeal rather than flour. I think it gave a nice crunchy crust and slightly chewy inside. A bit small for the price though. The Cubano was again made fresh. Bread was nice and crispy. Inside was filled with hearty meat and cheese. A solid sandwich, especially when paired with their pico de gallo. The start of the meal was easily the Bandeja. You can choose between chicken and flat iron steak for the Bandeja; we went with the steak and we weren't disappointed. It's cooked medium-rare, making the steak super tender. The outside crust was well-seasoned and flavorful. The Plato came with a lot of other tasty things like a perfect over-easy egg, rice and beans, avocado, and the best chicharron I've had. It's small but packed a punch. The outside was crispy all around while the fat layer was still melt-in-your-mouth soft. This dish had everything, perfect for sharing. The staff were attentive and friendly. Happy hour is from 3-5PM on weekdays. All in all, we had an amazing meal and will be spreading the word of their goodness for sure.

First off, I love that this place has gluten free and dairy free for almost everything…read more My boyfriend wanted to try this place out as his family is from Nicaragua and he said it's very similar to Cuban style food. I have not really had Cuban food before so I didn't really have any expectations and or knowing to what to expect for flavor. However, both of us were blown away by the food and we're totally eat here again. We both left content and bellies full. I got the coconut margarita and he got the mango Mojito for our drinks . Both of the drinks were freshly made ( no pre mix here) and equally delicious. I ordered the spicy Mojo shrimp bowl with yellow rice. This was the first time I've ever had tostones and fell in love. The flavors of the whole bowl were amazing and I didn't even put hot sauce or salt on it to begin with. My boyfriend got the Roma vieja plate with fried yuca. The fried yuca was soooo good with the garlic dipping sauce. The brisket was tasty to The prices were really reasonable for the area. Just know that the Mississippi District , you gotta find street parking down a side street as it is usually crowded on the Main Street or limited. There's plenty of things to do in the neighborhood before and after.

Very fast and tasty place to grab lunch during a shopping day! Got the pan con lechon with…read moretostones. Nice and convenient with a paid parking lot right next door.

Great place to stop in and snag some lunch if you happen to be in the area. I was serving for jury…read moreduty and this place caught my eye. I'm glad I went in. The atmosphere itself is classic for what you'd expect of a family run restaurant. There's nice decor on the walls and welcoming music playing. It's not a huge establishment but definitely big enough for multiple parties to sit. I wound up getting the pork sandwich which came out in around 10 min with a small lunch rush. The sandwich was rich in flavor and the meat itself was super tender. The bread was also delicious as I know it's made fresh locally. Some of the bbq flavor and the mayo I couldn't taste so it might have felt slightly one note but it was a good note to say the least. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

Great food, fair prices, and just steps from the waterfront--this spot is a solid choice for lunch,…read moreespecially if you find yourself near the courthouse. I've been here twice now while serving jury duty (it's less than two blocks away), and both visits were well worth it. The first time, I had the Cuban sandwich--absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly grilled and buttery, and the fillings were generous without overwhelming the sandwich. Today, I gave their tacos a shot, and they didn't disappoint. What really stood out was the red sauce--bold, flavorful, with just the right amount of heat to wake up your taste buds. Definitely a solid lunch option if you're in the area!
