Had the ropa vieja and beef empanadas. Both excellent and large portions. I added the very, very hot hot sauce. Delicious. And excellent service.

The vaca frita was delish. Everything was well seasoned and the flavor of each component unique and balanced.

I have had Cuban food previously in Florida. When I tried the ropa vieja plate here it was even more delicious. The food was so fresh and tasty. The tostones were even better. I cant wait to come back and try their other options. Great customer service as well!
