    Amazing food. The Cochinito Cubano is made with the hopes and dreams of little kids. Also, ask for Maduros!

    I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed the food and more importantly the service. I know they have only been open two days, but hopefully the dedicated customer service will not lessen as time goes on
