This small casual Cuban Diner is truly special. This food, especially the pork ripiado, is excellent. For sides I love the yuca in garlic sauce and Moro, a mix of black beans and rice. The prices are low, portions large, and service always good and fast. A hole in the wall is authentic and worth a visit!

Great food and large portions. Went for lunch and it wasn't very busy so this may be a hidden gem but I'm guessing not for long.

The only had tilapia, no other fish available but it was delicious. The yellow rice was very good but the black beans were just ok. The Tres Leche cake was meh.

I am so thrilled to find this place. Unassuming and just plain GREAT! I had the daily special: goat, beans, rice and plantains. I'll be back.

This great little Cuban restaurant is tucked in behind Saigon Paris Bistro. Though it,s a bit difficult to locate, many manage to do so. It is very welcoming and authentic. This is a breakfast and lunch place and we were happy to have breakfast there. We each had a No. 1 and the serving was ample and very reasonable, and it included a large cup of excellent Cuban coffee. We like this place, Location: 4 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Food: 4 stars Value: 5 stars
