You walk into this place to be greeted simultaneously by the most appetizing aroma and the friendliest staff you've ever met. You look at the menu and everything sounds delicious. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes. They suggest the red wine sangria. You say yes please and thank you. Dessert? Absolutely. 10/10 would dine again.

Never had a bad dish here. My favorites includes the house specialty (ropa vieja) with a side of sweet plantains and their Cuban sandwich.

Been here once before, I enjoyed the food then. Not so much this time. I had the Pork Lechon, it need more seasoning. The server was great she had a great attitude. Overall I won't be back.

Friendly staff, and great food. The slow roasted pork was excellent, breaded chicken very good. Cafe latte was top notch too. Definitely a must try when in Silver Lake. Cuban cuisine family-owned, nutrin fancy & has outdoor patio seating in the parking lot.

I'm first generation Cuban American and born/raised in Miami, so I can authoritatively say that this place is authentic quality. Best Cuban food on the west coast, hands down. Fantastic lechon, and the bistec empanizado is spot on. Great batidos too. Will definitely come here again

Indoors is too dark but the food is extremely good. Fresh and authentic and filllled with flavor. The yuca con mojo the best I've tried in L.A. Palomilla steak really soft, juicy and tender. Just right!

This place is such a gem! I had such an amazing experience. The waitres was sweet, knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. I had the carne con papas and platano fritos, it was a huge portion and delicious. My husband had the rabo. I highly recommend this place. Is cozy, it makes you feel like abuelas house. I will be returning....

I had been craving a Cubano sandwich and was near this place when lunch rolled around so I gave it a try. There is decent parking (for lunch at least). Their converted patio made for a nice place to sit. And the Cubano sandwich I had was excellent. They have a nice menu and if I wasn't looking for a lighter lunch I would have tried some sides or even a plate. I'd like to visit again.

One of the best sandwiches I’ve had in LA. The most tender pork you could imagine nestled between two slices of toasted bread and baked plantains mixed in. Simple dish, amazing result. Their flan was also stupendous with a hint of burnt sugar, just the way it should be. Would definitely return!
