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.

The ropa vieja is really good here.

Small little Cuban restaurant.
I feel like when you come in you just sit yourself down because we waited to be seated but nobody came.

We ordered chicharron, it was abit dry.
The ropa vieja was really good, portion was good also. We had also ordered the queso empanada but we never got it...when we went to pay the guy finally said that they didn't have.

I feel like we weren't really looked at because they tought we dont speak Spanish. But we do.

At the end they gave us marker to write on the wall, it was nice to see all the customers writing on the wall.

It was our first time we tried Cuban food, the taste & combination of food was really new for me & I like it, like to try again other dishes in future, it was like homemade cook, really simple design, the guy who work on door to pass samples was really friendly but other staffs couldn't speak English, we didn't like indoor area because the smell of cleaning product was a lot & also air circulation was not good, also the interior was not well design & that clean it was a bit messy there & we prefer to sit outside
