Cubano sandwich is the best one I've ever had. Delicious maduros, tostones (the garlic sauce tho!) and lechon pork too. Cute outdoor seating. Reservations recommended.

The Cuban sandwich is the most famous thing here and justifiably so. It’s not dry and there is a lot of meat. The black bean soup is ok. There is a tiny parking lot. They do have take out.

For a LA Cuban spot it's good! I only wish that the Cafe was done the Old School way, allow the milk to thicken in the Pot and then Poured into coffee. Other wise I really enjoy it.

Wow oh wow. The Cubano was so good, my husband really enjoyed it! The chicken sandwich was really good too. The flan. Oh yummy the flan.

Great spot for caribbean cravings. Beans and congrí rice lacked flavor but everything else was on point! Ropa vieja is a winner!

I love this place. Not to many real Cuban food spots in LA. This is one of the best.

Fantastic roasted pork and ropa vieja. Make sure to order tostones!

Get the Pan Con Lechon or the Cochinito sandwich (slow roasted pulled pork and plantain)

The only Cuban place I'll eat at in LA. I'm from Miami, so my standards for Cuban food are high.

Ask for the Vaca Frita....it's not on the menu and they don't make it everyday....but when they do it's definitely the dish to get!

I did not care for the food. And I had high hopes as I am looking for a good cuban place.
