Great food and excellent service! Everyone was super friendly and helpful! Not sure if that was the chef or the owner even came out and checked us! We visited on Thanksgiving and they were open! That really saved us and we appreciate it a lot!

🏠A restaurant where “mi casa es su casa”- lots of regulars known by name and sharing camaraderie, as an out of town er this was very wholesome to witness. 🌯 VEGETARIAN OPTIONS! I enjoyed 3 different kinds of veggie burritos and chilaquiles. The beans and rice were so 🤤 🇨🇺 Alex the owner is from Cuba and word has it there’s a secret Cuban menu. Otherwise, his menu includes all the best from 🇲🇽 I went there multiple times while there on work when I typically try to go to places only once. That says a lot.

Perfection! Fluffy rice, perfect beans, fabulous everything. Mexican soul food. The epitome of Mexican food is the Rosa plate -- I think it's called-- with relleno, tamale, taco and enchilada with beans and rice. They don't put the prices on the menu which I always hate, but $13.99 was great for fine dining. I've never been much of a fan of flan, but the flan was sublime, astronomically better than any other.

I do not know why this place wasn’t packed! The staff was friendly and quick. I had the bisteca. The meat was crazy flavorful and cooked with fresh onion, jalapeño and tomato. Even the rice was a step above. The sign lights weren’t on and the place was hard to find in the dark…that’s the only possible way you could overlook this gem!!

Excellent Cuban food. Without a doubt, I recommend visiting this restaurant that is unknown to many. The waitress who provides service must fully know the Mexican menu even if she is Cuban, this will allow her to provide a better quality service.
