Mariana AcuñaOctober 27, 2012The vibe outside is way better than inside. The huevos rancheros are AWESOME. It's not a Cuban restaurant it's more Mexican, the shrimp ceviche was super fresh and the watermelon Gives it a nice touch
Gina Blancarte-MillardSeptember 29, 2012Pet friendly restaurant. You can sit out in front at the bar tables or at their big couch. And, they bring you a water bowl for your pooches.

Jonathan ArevaloSeptember 7, 2012First timer grabbing dinner like myself? Grab a table outside; order the chips & guac; to drink, order the Cali Ginger; for app, order their corn; & the dinner entree, get the Carne Asada.
Vanity Fair AgendaJanuary 30, 2012Inspired by Café Habana New York, the famed Cuban/Mexican café. The Grilled Corn Mexican Style with cotija cheese, chili powder, and lime requires at least two napkins but it is a must-try.
Stephanie M.June 20, 2015Pretty good place - southern California take on Cuban cooking, so mostly CA style. The sweet plantains do have the right Cuban flavor, other foods less so.
Sit outside in the garden setting. They can pull the shade above your table if needed. You can have your eggs any style in the huevos rancheros.
Kaelin K.December 29, 2014Fast service and nice atmosphere, definetly recommend brown rice bowl with pork! Don't miss restaraunt parking spots right beside entrance.
Andrew ShultsJanuary 7, 2018Slow and inconsistent service compared to the NoLita (NYC) location (never got some items we asked for). Cuban sandwich is still solid. Maybe a little too dog friendly?
Sammy WongJuly 4, 2012The plantains and the snapper ceviche are both exceptional. So is the guacamole. A reputable ceviche critic said it was the best ceviche she's ever had.
- There is no breakfast menu, but if you come in around breakfast/bruch you can order an amazing breakfast burrito!
Lemon chicken, carne asada and the cubano are what you want. Lemon chicken is only on the dinner menu though.
The prickly pear margarita is delicious. Try the corn, it's really great.- Beta LebeisApril 21, 2015Carne Asada, steak tacos, goat cheese quesadilla, kale salad, and much more
Michael KaneAugust 24, 2014It took 45+ minutes to sit down after our reservation time. The hostess had no idea what she was doing & said "I don't know when we can seat you, I'm just telling people what they want to hear." BAD
- Michelle LeeDecember 28, 2010The corn & Cubano are a must. The steak sandwich is also a fav! (Don't forget to ask for it medium rare!)
The corn alone is worth it. Great location. Love this place!
Brian TothSeptember 2, 2013Worst service EVER. Actually- NO service. 1st time was horrible, just gave 2nd chance: had to ask for server AfTER asking hostess to make sure someone help us.. We left after 15 min..No need to come
Taco Tuesday , karaoke on wensday it's a great place to eat and relax
Daniel R.June 21, 2010Pollo al Limon was the bomb! Too bad appetizers came with it, or even after it. The service here needs LOTS of work!
Paul SteketeeMay 30, 2010Get the corn of course and the cubano. The tuna and the shrimp ceviches are outstanding, too.
- Daniella RNovember 21, 2010Mojitos were yummy and the Cubano sandwich was yummy. Will be back fir more!
Sinem UzJune 10, 2017It's not worth for money. Too expensive and not delicious. Mexican food is not so good. Don't get tacos. I don't suggest sangria either.
Tacos, corn, cocktails.... I haven't had anything bad here.
