Great food. Shrimp quesadilla and croquettes were delicious. Mango martini and pina colada get a thumbs up. Staff were prompt and polite! Glad I didn't listen to any of the bad reviews

Great, not messy huevos rancheros. Even better, you can turn this dish into two delicious breakfast tacos which is awesome for a neighborhood that lacks a real breakfast taco.

Cheap Cuban food. Get the chicken avocado soup or the sandwich named after a nation. Can't eff it up if you are named after a sandwich/nation.

The aguacate salad is delicio... eh, who am I kidding? Get the cubano sandwich. (Or go sandwich/salad splitty-splitty and feel a little better about yourself)

Amazing good! Fresh, good ingredients, chill, small mom and pop place A+! Great for gluten free and corn free :)

They serve Cuban sandwiches in 1/2 portions which is a godsend for tiny girls. Also get a side of maduros.

Pretty cheap cocktails. Makes me feel like I'm on vacation. Get a side of coconut rice— it's addictive!

Cuban sandwiches are the best! Strong sangria and cocktails. Can't go wrong at this place. Great value.

Vegans - Get the Molete sandwich and swap out the cheese for avocado. Tastes great.

WHOA the batido de coco is insanely amazing. Cachaca plus coconut blended together into a magical concoction of love.

Como mi abuela en Miami, this place nails the classic dishes. Great yuca, maduros and ropa vieja.

Such a fun spot for brunch. Support Brooklyn's family businesses - especially the ones close to the stadium.

The stuffed Poblano is grade A super fantastic. Get it now! Plus, order a Cuba Libra and get a glass of rum with a coke on the side. Nice. :-)

Cash only, but there's an ATM in the back by the bathrooms. #cashonly #atm

The best part of the restaurant was the decor.. I'm sad to say! I ordered a drink I hated, didn't drink and still got charged for it. The food was bland .. I won't be back.

Strawberry batido ("Cuban milkshake") is not too sweet #milkshake #batido

The food is mediocre. The free appetuzer chips are great, and the shrimp, mango salad is excellent, but even the rice and beans can be disappointing.
Neischa BazzeyMay 22, 2011
Great plantain chips appetizers! The Buenaventura Vista chicken was awesome as well!!
Rachel StallworthJune 22, 2011
The white sangria is fantastic. And the mango salsa on various dishes is too.

Great sandwiches and great for small groups.

Beware bait & switch: They often don't have items from their regular menu and make you substitute them for more expensive options
David BrahlerJuly 13, 2015
Get the ceviche and the hanger steak burrito with a refreshing mojito.

Steffon IsaacSeptember 24, 2011
Wow, the shrimp quesadilla is amazing! But the sangria is so-so.
