A co worker has been bringing me these amazing guava pastries from here so when the need to order a cake arose they were my first thought. We were able to order a large tres leches cake with 48 hours notice, no issue. The food is phenomenal and the people working are incredibly kind. Would recommend them a hundred times over.

Sweet mystery of Life, at last I found You! Songs should be composed and sung about this Cuban sandwich I have just eaten, and the tres leches and flan are beyond delicious.

Last Sunday I called ahead and made sure the bakery had guava flavored King Cakes in stock. I made the much anticipated round trip from Hammond. My cake was there and the cashier bragged about how good it would be. When we finally cut the cake to savor this much anticipated flavor, WHAT A DiSAPPOINTMENT. No GUAVA.

I went for the Bakery and it was Amazing, first time trying Pastelitos de Carne Cubanos 10/10 the people there were nice and amazing customer service, people dancing with the music and just enjoying the moment, you have were to sit and enjoy your cafe con pan definitely coming back.

The food is good and the supermarket products are fresh but the old lady at the register is so rude and watch her, she over charge you very fast. Look over your receipt. Be careful!!

Delicious Cubano and pastries. Looking forward to taste the Honduran tamales.

Came here to get their famous highly rated tres leches and was very disappointed for the second time. The last time I thought it was just by chance that it tasted different/dry and not as sweet, but sadly it seems like this is the new norm. It was dull tasting then and is now. The last time I remember it being delicious was at their old location.
