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. 😶

Un petit restaurant authentique qui vous fera voyagé à Cuba.🫶

J'y suis allé hier avec mon copain super petit restaurant. Nous avons commandé des empanadas ainsi qu'un sandwich cubain. Tout a été délicieux & on voit que c'est fait avec amour la viande est tellement tendre & juteuse sans parler qu'elle est super bien assaisonné. L'accueil comme si on était chez des gens qu'on connaît ils nous mettent tout de suite alaise. Vraiment attentionné aux détails super bien servi. Puis avant de partir on peut même laissé un petit mot une trace de notre visite sur le mur.

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.
