On June 04,2017 I went to enjoy a good time on this restaurant with my fiance. We ordered two sandwiches one with chicken and the other was Cuban sandwich. The waiting time was almost 30 minutes. While waiting 4 customers came and there was served before us. The was a bad experience with the food. The sandwiches do not have taste at all theirs , the chicken breath that used for this sandwich was raw. I believed something was wrong inside that kitchen or the chef do not have any experience how to do sandwiches. For all the waiting time no sorry for the delay. I hope they used this information for the future for someone else. I recommend that who ever did the sandwiches uses more condiments for the meat and instead Italian bread used the original Cuban bread and put it in the grill to heat up. was poor, service time very long. The French fries was soggy not well done. I went there for first time and I we are not going back to this restaurant again.

Party of 5 on a Sunday night. place is pretty empty. Ordered a mix of appetizers, it was pretty good. The appetizer meat sliders are very good. the churrasco is not better than Las Palmas. The thin sliced steak was alright. My grandma wasnt wowed by the paella. The service was kind of annoying. Waited would come check on us then go missing for 20 mins. Had to get up and ask for check when we were done. Waiter also added gratuity at this own pleasure when the bill stated parties of 6 or more would be charged automatically. But that was whatever, either way we were tipping for the service provided but annoying service like this would keep a customer away especially when the food is yet to leave a lasting impression. Prices are inexpensive. They do have a bar area.

I am so excited to have this type of restaurant as part of my community. I grew up in this area and had yet to have a cuban place that was exceptionally well in food and service. Amazing staff, service, and great food! I came with my parents and kids and they staff understand the urgency of accommodating out table based on our needs with the kids. Ambiance was fantastic (even for a mom of a toddler) as they have a DJ that also lets you karaoke from time to time. My daughter didnt not want to leave because of the birthday chants and music provided to the celebratory guests. Lastly, I ordered a churrasco which was utter perfection but my mom ordered the BBQ ribs with the guava sauce that was to die for! Definitely coming back for MORE!

Today I had the honor to eat at this fine restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious from the amazing Drinks to the delicious Tapas, you will be extremely satisfied. The minute I got there, I was nicely greeted. The waiter Andy was truly serviceful and a true gentle to all myself but most important my female friends. The owner was very friendly and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. As a group we were able to see the upstairs party lounge and looked extremely classy. Planning our Welcome back party here for sure. Lastly, I highly recommend this place.....go visit you wont regret it.

Excellent!!!! Modern but very well decorated Cuban themed restaurant. Perfect for a dinner date or a casual lunch. The service was quick and friendly! The empanadas for appetizer were not greasy and cooked just right. The ropa vieja was amazing and the black beans were very good. For desert the homemade flan was creamy and just perfect. The portions were just right. This is definitely my first choice for Cuban food in the area!

Before walking in I wasnt too sure what to expect since this place was previously a steakhouse for about 20+ years but as soon as I walked in I was very impressed, they had a side with low seats and another side with high seats (the bar is located in the high seat area) and it very nice atmosphere. The bartender Sam took care of us and I must say the coconut mojitos were delicious we had about 4

Came here on a Sunday afternoon place is semi pack with people waited 20 minutes for the watier to even acknowledge that we were sitting there. Then waited 20 min more for our food to come out.Food is okay regular Cuban food nothing fancy you can get the same thing on Bergenline for much less. The decor is nice. If they have better service then it will be worth it.

This place is fantastic, just had a big birthday party there had 80 people over and the food and service was excellent. The place is beautiful and well decorated . The prices are fair too not too crazy so over all very nice experience I would recommend it.

The servers were cordial and prompt. We got seated immediately and the food did not take too long. The food was delicious. Had a lot of flavor and I left the place with a full stomach. I will definitely be coming back!

Freshly renovated & decorated, friendly service, pretty amazing food. The waiter was still learning the ropes, which led to a little bumpiness. Otherwise, a great experience.

My cousin had her sweet 16 party here and it was great. All the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and attentive! Loved the red and white sangrías too.

They have this small replica of the Cuban Malecón that looks so real. The food is really good with all the traditional plates of Cuba.
