Pam ☕️ OApril 19, 2015Ropa vieja was a disappointing dish. Don't get it unless you like a scoop of meat with about 3 cups of white rice.
Tonya EvansSeptember 28, 2016Our meal was only discounted -$1. I still left her a big tip because I'm never going back. I just wanted then to see they treated a well paying customer very badly!
allisonDecember 1, 2014DO NOT order the Chocolate Cake! For the price, it's a definite rip-off! They should be ashamed!
Adam LangdonMarch 9, 2017The Cubano tasted like a McDonald's cheeseburger. Not a good thing as there's a $10 difference
Burke WendtApril 5, 2010The crab cake is not the world's best, as the name would have you believe. The empanadas are dank tho
JT RoseJuly 15, 2012Food is great but the music is so loud you cant hear yourself think. When asking them to turn it down they say they cant. Wait staff look like they dont want to be here
Javier Diaz de LeonJuly 31, 2013Tried the picadillo, it was fine. The service left a lot to be desired.
Stuart AllenJune 29, 2012The Santiago is a little bland. All white rice, was hoping for some flavor there.
Kristy TOctober 15, 2011Awful service! Waitress said my meal came w/ rice & beans. It didn't. Requested some rice and was charged for it. Mgr refused to remove it from the bill and chastised me for not understanding the menu
April HauckSeptember 22, 2012Not impressed. Empanadas tasted like they were frozen and reheated... Menu is having an identity crisis.. nice patio if the passerbys took an alternate route
Dayna MusgroveAugust 25, 2012So far, no good! Drinks taste nasty, food menu is ALL over the place, really hard to understand, also very high priced.
- Zach FreshwaterJanuary 17, 2011The service wasn't the best and the food wasn't anything spectacular... We weren't offered a single refill and they restricted the coupon foursquare provided. It was cuban, but not revolutionary.
The managers suck there are only like five good servers, but the food is good.
Brian PateMay 25, 2013Don't be in a hurry here. Slowest service in town. It took over an hour to eat when the restaurant was 1/4 full.
Mary JohnsonJanuary 17, 2011Only one free desert per table and the service is very slow. Also I haven't seen one refill.
Meghan IreneFebruary 8, 2014Older bald bartender is rude and will talk about you with other employees! :( awful experience
Carlos GironFebruary 8, 2016The food was decent and the service was fine. However, the premise of the restaurant and its decor are extremely offensive. They glorify Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, revolutionary thieves and murderers.
Patrick JohnsonJuly 5, 2013Nothing very Cuban about it, unless Cuban food is supposed to be bland and boring.
- Tonya EvansSeptember 28, 2016Nothing! They have redone the whole menu and it's no longer authentic Cuban. 1st the waitress got it drink order wrong. Then everything we tried to order she told us that they were out of.
- Tonya EvansSeptember 28, 2016It's only 12pm how can you be out of everything? Then the food she brought us were missing sides, when asked she apologized then asked if we wanted a salad.
