Really good food! Get super packed in the mornings. Cuban coffee is phenomenal, their sandwiches are pretty good. Fresh OJ is mad expensive. The lady’s that take care of you are gorgeous.

Amazing food, great portions for a great price. Very nice staff. Will be back for sure!!

One of my secret places to visit. The food is always fresh, tasty and they have quick service. Highly recommend.

Honestly the food was so good and there’s always a large selection! Got both the regular Cuban and the media noche, the regular was better to me becuase it was made with regular Cuban bread. The media noche is with almost a brioche roll, pressed. All around delicious and everyone’s nice .

The food is delicious and the portions to price is on point.. I had the fried rice with plantains and oxtail.. sorry for the picture I had already started lol
