Capri has lovely sandwiches and coffee, I have to say--it always has! Until last month, I hadn't visited Capri for several years and wasn't sure whether it had remained his quality over the years. But in terms of the food, the cuban chicken sandwich, cafe con leche and cortado especially, I was not disappointed. The chicken had been pounded to make it nice and flat and had a lovely flavor. The bread and accompanying peppers and onions made for a nice touch and overall delicious taste. I enjoyed my sandwich and coffee so much, that I went back later that day to grab another for my flight home! I would recommend these two items but also, if history serves, that many other food items on the menu, including the ropa vieja, are worth having on your visit. While I do give the food 5 stars, I am not able to give the same of the service. Eventhough I had called my order in and gave a good 20 minute notice, I was still waiting at the counter upon arrival. The staff was friendly, and clearly well meaning, but they were also quite slow, not the best when you have a flight to catch! While the interior of the restaurante has always been pleasant--giving you a kind of at home in a warm kitchen with your grandmother kind of feel, I was a bit disappointed in the music which played only american tunes including "Brown Eyed Girl" which seemed to be on a loop! This is a cuban cafe and a good one at that--celebrate your heritage & play music that resembles your native land, and that allows us to travel to a different place and culture when we enter! (IThat's my humble advice). I was sad and deeply troubled that the street where Capri resides had been changed to the name of a corrupt criminal, convicted felon president but definitely don't let that stop you from coming here and enjoying...
Read moreFirst off, I should have just noticed by the alarmingly loud music playing right outside and dirtness of the entrance. I walked in with an open mind and expecting a traditional meal. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and a grilled cheese with a side of fries. Also a club sandwich with fries. When she began to prepare our order she never used gloves or washed her hands after touching the register. She was bare hand with extra long nails preparing our sandwiches. I was going to say something but noticed the manager touching the cheese with her bare hands with long nails and finishing our sandwiches. What I didn't see was she actually put the side of fries for the grilled cheese inside the actual sandwich. Totally wrong did not ask for that and another thing to top it off she microwaved the sandwiches for some reason. And than pressed them down with a sandwich press. I paid $25 not including tip for the meal. Which is affordable for the food but was less than impress. It's a dump sorry to say it but the basic hygiene for handling food and cross contamination is happening all around. This place needs to be under a microscope, many many violations with food storage and handling. I can only imagine the back kitchen. We did not eat but a few bites, I'm sorry to say we even...
