Food was tasty but a bit too oily for my taste. I love Cuban cuisine so this spot has been a godsend in this town. It's conveniently located next to trains, the food is tasty & the service was friendly & helpful.

Had a great experience. We tried the paella fruit de mer, croquettes & fricassé de poulet. Everything was delicious & full of flavor. The only miss for me was the tres leches, which didn't quite hit the mark.

The staff were very welcoming & the food arrived quickly. Plus, it's conveniently located near Jean-Talon metro & Plaza St-Hubert

Everytime i go or even call, they are either closed or they dont answer their phone. Even though it states that they are open on google & the hours at the restaurant, they always seem to be closed. 😶
