Customer Reviews
The cashier was nice . The appearance of the place was not pretty. The rice and empanadas could be better. The acapurias were good. It's a Cuban restaurant not a Puerto Rican restaurant
I really only get breakfast from here. Prices are decent. There's always packed in the morning.
The food here is horrible and the workers have attitude plus the health department keeps shutting them down
This place is a hidden gem. I've been going here since I was a little child and it's always been the same owner. The place needs a complete remodel and could use a deep cleaning. BUT the food is always acceptable and consistent. They always open really early so it's great for those early before-work sandwiches on the go.
The food is awesome. I love the empanadas, alcapurias, papas rellenas... the service was friendly. Love the place
