Had lunch there last Monday, pleasantly surprised, have driven by many times but never realized that it was a gem of a Cuban restaurant. Small and very clean, the food was excellent. We got there at 11:30 for lunch and it filled up fast. Since it was my first time I ordered the Cuban Sandwich and my lunch partner ordered the Fried Fish platter at the counter where everything is prepared in front of you.

Incredible!! I added a photo but I didn’t take the photo until AFTER I was done eating. This is what was left of my meal thats how wonderful the portion sizes are! I’m saving the rest for lunch.

I have a list I've curated over the years of my favorite restaurants for breakfast, and this has beat out all of them! The food is delicious, and so full of flavor, and large portion size. No wonder people recommend this place! The staff is so warm and kind and the food is so good that I'll probably get it multiple times a month and I don't even eat out like that. Lol. I just know I will crave it...
