Great food. We split the paella especial and it could have easily fed 4 or 5 people. Fun and easily sat. Service was incredible and Pedro was so kind and helpful. Would recommend this place. Also they do really fun birthday celebrations.

Great authentic Cuban food. Quaint and perfect for family feeding. Make sure you say hi to Pedro. Probably one of the best servers I’ve seen in a while. Attentive and gratuitous. Had a fabulous meal.
