Our party of five had an absolutely delightful experience at this gem of a restaurant! As someone from Puerto Rico, I was instantly transported back home by the incredible Caribbean flavors. Every dish resonated with authentic taste and care.
We started with the yuca frita and masita de cerdo, and both appetizers were simply amazing – perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor. For my main course, I ventured to try the cubano chino, and wow! This Cuban-style Chinese rice was a revelation. The combination of flavors was unique and utterly delicious. My companions raved about their dishes as well. The roasted pork and pork chops were reportedly juicy and incredibly flavorful, the bistec encebollado was also a hit, and the fish filet was noted for being wonderfully flaky and soft.
The sides were equally impressive. The tostones were perfectly crisp, the arroz congri was rich and satisfying, the platanos maduros offered that wonderful sweetness, and the frijoles negros were hearty and well-seasoned.
And then came the desserts... oh my goodness! They were truly to die for. It turns out our wonderful server is also the talented baker behind these treats. The tres leches was heavenly, and the guava bizcocho cubano was simply incredible. I was so impressed that I actually asked for her number to order a cake for my upcoming birthday!
We also had the pleasure of meeting the new owner Luis, who has been at the helm for just 13 days. It was heartwarming to learn that he was previously a cook at the restaurant and has now taken ownership. You can truly taste the passion he puts into his cooking – it's evident he cooks with his heart.
Beyond the exceptional food, the service was outstanding. Our server was attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about the food she served.
I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Cuban food. The new owner is doing an amazing job, and I wish him all the success in the world. We will definitely be back!
