We didn’t know about this restaurant and it’s a great find. Though we were there for lunch, we understand that the restaurant is open late and is a good choice for dining, drinks, or dessert after performances or concerts nearby. They have quite a few pork dishes and delicious paella. We also had flan which was lovely. The biggest challenge is parking so be prepared to spring for the valet.
Unique dishes that are very tasty. One star lost because the bathroom is off site and shared with the shops around it. The prices are also a bit high when you are going for lunch. Very nice and cozy ambiance. My husband and I enjoyed our lunch.
I first dined here in the early 90's. It is still delicious food served in a great atmosphere. Dinner on the patio was a unique experience. I felt like we were in Cuba. Great place for groups because it is loud. I wouldn't recommend it for a first date or serious conversations. I am looking forward to our next visit.
We enjoyed lunch here. The prices were reasonable and the selection was extensive. The food (to my taste) was authentic Cuban/Caribbean. Some of the dishes reminded me of my country of origin, Brazil. It is an "energetic" place; another word for noisy, which could bother some people. This is because of the high ceilings and reflective floor/walls tiles/wood.
Second time visiting. First time visiting after midnight. The fact that they were open and serving food at that point was alone a five star reason. But the ambiance, service and food doubled down on my rating. The potato balls are delicious with a great salsa over them. The beans and steak and rice and everything is delicious. Plantains are perfect. Still haven't tried dessert, but I have an idea of what it is probably like. Live music is also available, really good, little loud though. Just gotta visit for brunch. Me and my love enjoyed it thoroughly.
