Ilsairis F.Ilsairis Falcon Torres: The food is great. Be patient, the waiting time is long. Food is made on the spot as you order. Sweet plantain, piononos are delicious as well as the Alcapurrias, bacalitos and the empanadillas!!!!!

aMerryPranksteraMerryPrankster: Delicious congris (literally means "with gray"- when black beans are cooked with white rice) and maduros (sweet plantains). The Cuban picadillo (ground beef) was yum! Skip the ceviche appetizer.

Victor T.Victor Tran: Their rice plates are delicious. They are made to order. It is fresh and worth the wait. Best deal also.
