Anne NJuly 31, 2018Empanadas, All The Way. Don’t waste your time with the Cuban sandwich or anything else on the menu. Get all empanadas, and you’ll be set. They are deep-fried and flaky...the greatest I’ve ever had 👑
Léah ChungFebruary 13, 2017The beef empanada (picadillo) and the sauce that comes with it is amazing. Love the flaky crust. Highly recommend the guava & cheese pastelitos as well.
MiguelJune 3, 2017I can't say enough good things about this place. Try the Juanito to drink and the passion fruit tea cake.
Dellvon FordMay 12, 2022One of the best, if not the best Cuban quick spot to come and socialize.... while eating and drinking authentic Cuban bites...
David KirschJuly 20, 2017Delicious veggie Cuban sandwich, feels a little healthier than the traditional ham and cheese version. Corn empanadas also nice.
Anna HJanuary 4, 2023Love the veggie Cuban and the avocado salad. Would eat the tres leches and key lime pie in a jar every day 🧁
Diana BrodyOctober 4, 2021Love the coffee here, plus it has lovely little outdoor patios in front and upstairs.
Lianne MarieMarch 27, 2018The mango iced tea is amazing. No idea how they make it, but the mango flavor is is so refreshing.
Elizabeth BursteinJune 16, 2018Good spot for hard pina coladas. Brady got one and i got a house wine that was decent
kim foxSeptember 5, 2022Not the service! Sadly unattentive and unwelcoming. Drink was not even average.

"Authentic Cuban cuisine. Great Mojito too."

"Lecheno (sp) (pulled pork) was great! Flank steak also great. Little buzz from the 2 margaritas I had but hubby's 3 mojitos made him quite jolly. No room for desert"

"The oxtail was to die for! Guacamole was also very good, but only if you like spicy food."

"They have Dolcezza ice creams and sorbets, albeit at twice the price of Haagen Dasz. But what I get there all the time are Palapa's watermelon popsicles and Dolci's amazing strawberry lavender sorbet"
