"Looking for a cheap breakfast or a couple of empanada snacks? Or maybe it’s chicken soup or beans-and-rice you’re craving. This recently revamped steam table restaurant in the parking lot of a grocery store is better than it needs to be and the price is right. A ten-spot goes far at this clean, well-lighted place, with a cross section of locals and visitors, offering indoor and outdoor seating." - Celia Buckley, Melissa McCart

Amazing!! This place is a must if you are in the area. Authentic latin food made with love. Wish this place was in all US as I don't live here. Prices and food quality are the best! A true gem! Thank you for making food great again!

I heard about how wonderful this place was so I decided to try it today because I was in the neighborhood. The woman at the counter was warm and inviting. There were different food options from fish, beef, and pork. With a variety of sides and desserts. You will not be disappointed with the foods great quality and great taste.

I had ordered here from DoorDash and I’m very disappointed on how inconsiderate this place is they should think about people like me who work and can’t do anything. I had ordered the pork with rice beans and I think it comes with veggies I was so hungry and excited to eat I’m at work it’s lunch time just for them to only send me pork and not the rice and beans how inconsiderate to not check to make sure you had my order right. I’m so angry and disappointed please do better and think of people like me who are working and can’t do anything about this.

First time stopping in today and it was really nice! Super clean and friendly and the food was delicious! I tried a whole fried fish which always seemed exotic and I’ve wanted to try that somewhere for some time. I was very pleased with it! Also nice to know there is a spot for little grab and go handhelds in their warmer here. Thank you!

This place is really good! The service was really good, the workers there are really kind. I tried some of the food and it was top notch. I’m definitely gonna be coming back to this place soon. I really recommend this place since it’s kinda like a chipotle but you get a good amount of food you ask for. If you want to eat out somewhere “affordable” and delicious, then this is the place to go. :)

This place was a pleasant surprise! They were only open a week when i stopped by but they were on top of everything. The service was good. Lots of smiles and the food was freshly made and sooo good and really inexpensive for the amount if food you get! The black beans were yummy but I went back the very next day for the chicken empanadas!!! We got dine in but took it outside to enjoy, so I had leftovers ready to go. I wish them well and hope they're still open the next time I make it down the shore!

This place is a great addition to the neighborhood because most of the Latin options are Mexican and who doesn’t love tacos but this just hits different. The restaurant itself is just great vibes and the location is open and has great lighting and ample seating outside and inside. It’s not a fancy place with table clothes but just a nice, clean and home cooked feel kind of place. The food selection was awesome! Every day they have a different menu so it never a gets repetitive or boring. Everything we ordered was well seasoned and cooked with love. They have great empanadas, releno de papa, chicarron, croquettes if you are looking for a little snack. They have great desserts and also many drink options. They have a fresh juice stand where they press the juice to order and everything is out in the open so you can see what they are doing. The staff was so cool and all had smiles and welcomed us. The portions are great and you will not be left hungry. Looking forward to eating here again.

The food is EXCELLENT !! My go to place to get a nice meal for a very affordable price and I can have leftovers with the amount of food that they serve you. Take a ride and try it out and I’m sure you’ll not be disappointed at all!!

3 of us went for a late lunch. We had the goat, Piccadillo, yucca, Maduros, rice and beans with black beans on top. We had 3 sodas. The bill for 3 was $23!! And we had some food left to take home. Very nice people working there and the the food was delicious, with generous portions. They also have a fresh squeezed orange juice machine. I plan on getting takeout in the future.

This food is sooo good. We got two platters to go, two waters, 4 empanadas, and an iced tea and all that cost me $29. It's sooooo much food and it's good! The people were so kind. They speak English and Spanish. I heard it's Cuban food but i didn't ask today when i went. I didn't see anything either that indicated any nationality or ethnicity. Either way the food is good. Ambience is good. It's small in there. I personally wouldn't eat there but there were a couple people eating there at like "bar tables" They aren't really bars but just high tables and stools to sit at. No alcohol here. BUT there is plenty of outdoor seating. It's also very clean here. Only reason I'm not giving 5/5 is because I felt my pernil was a little on the dry side. Also the chicken wasn't flavorful. Other than that, I'm absolutely eating here again.

Food is really good. Poor lady in there does all the counter work herself. Sometimes she has a good helper and sometimes the help is useless. Owner just watches her struggle and collects the money out of the register. Tuff to wait on line and watch all this go down but food is awesome

Delicious food. Best Cuban sandwiches in New Jersey (other than Union City). Folks are terrific to deal with and never a long wait.

Loved it. The best Cuban sandwiches, and the stews are so perfect. The servers are also so patient and kind to newcomers. Made us feel like regulars.

have been here several times ..... it never disappoints! Flavorful, clean, friendly staff, affordable, more than enough portion size and desserts to die for (flan, tres leche cake)

I used to love to go there. The food is delicious and affordable. However, the last 3 times I went, on Wednesday, they never have enough of my favorite,, the beef stew and I find that absolutely ridiculous. They are always out of it and used to always have it. I went a couple of times around 7 pm and they were out. I went today at 5:00 pm,, and again, they are out. Owner, PLEASE have your staff make enough beef stew for your customers. I can't understand how you run out of it even at the start of dinner time. You lost a customer but I hope for others you pay attention to having enough of your entrees. Very very disappointed.

Great... small place, eat in or take out. food is delicious. Very nice people too. I love it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

This is a small restaurant in a former Sonic location in front of a Latin Supermarket. They serve Daily Specials and a la carte. I stopped in last Thursday for the Ropa Vieja and it was amazing!!! Please keep the Chef, he knows how to cook authentic Cuban food. On Mondays they serve Picadillo which is also very good. You can order Cuban sandwiches and other a la carte items. Their empanadas are Cuban empanadas and the guava and cheese ones are perfect. And best of all, you can't beat the prices. The Daily Specials include rice and beans and another side, the plantains are very good but the Yucca in mojo is delicious. You can eat in at either communal tables or they have a counters running both sides of the restaurant., But there is not a lot of room for a large family. They have a booming take out business.. Parking is NOT a problem.
