Hard to find, and nothing to look at. Went there only because of Tripadvisor rating. Not disappointed.

I have tried a couple of different dishes at this place and I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed them all!!! Never knew what yuca was but found out I really like it!!! The pork is awesome, the people are awesome!! Will definitely go back!!!

Lots of locals here, so get there early. Sandwiches very tasty and soup delicious! Good value and great service.

One of the best Cuban sandwiches since Miami! The pork is a favorite of mine - always good! The lunch take out was convenient and fast. We always bring friends here when they visit us and are not disappointed. Love the tastes, smells, and atmosphere. Great job, Jose!
