"This corner restaurant is a great lunch or casual dinner spot for tasty chorizo and goat cheese empanadas, Cubanos, and ropa vieja platters loaded with rice, beans, and plantains. The interior decked out in murals and old framed photos is small, but their dual patios always have plenty of room—there’s a sunny front area and a busy covered space in the back for anyone who wants to check out their occasional live DJ sets. It’s also BYOB with a small corkage fee if you want a six-pack or wine and rum to pair with their refreshing mojito and sangria mixes." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen
