RJ CaldarazzoSeptember 14, 2014This place is phenomenal! I recommend the Cuban chorizo burger, with sweet chili mayo, muenster cheese, cilantro-lime salsa, avocado spread, shoestring French fries, and a sunny side up egg.

DannSeptember 17, 2016They serve delicious Frita(Cuban hamburger) and batidos(shakes). All their menu is worth the try. I recently enjoyed the black bean frita with silantro-lime salsa.(Also, try Make it loco sometime!)
Hannah NouDecember 3, 2015Best meal all month. But watch out: Your breath will REAK like garlic for the next 24 hours, no matter how many times you brush your teeth. I'm talking PUNGENT garlic breath. But the fries are tasty!!
Samantha HillOctober 30, 2019Amazing sandwiches, drinks and sides. Don’t forget to load up you sandwich with the tropical slaw, avocado spread and a fried egg. Also, the shakes are amazing with a shot of rum!
OMG. Cuban foodie paradise. Grab a chicken frita with some garlic fries and a sunny side egg on top. Have a Batido it wash it down with. Worth the wait if going during peak times!
Jean TorresMarch 13, 2015Don't even think about it, just get a Chorizo Frita Loco with a thick alice of Bacon. As a side you can have either the amazing double fried sweet plantains or the garlic french fries.- Sharon KarahanApril 11, 2015The Best Snack Ever is just that. Delicious + satisfying. Love the plain fries. Everything I've ever had here is excellent. A little pricey but worth every penny.
Don't ever leave without trying "The best snack ever". You will thank me later for the best tip ever. Plaintain lovers, get the "Twice fried ripe plaintains" and bust a couple of arteries doing so.
Erich BrubakerMay 23, 2015Definitely go during happy hour (Sun-Thurs 4-6 and 10pm Sun-Wed/11pm Thurs-Sat)--it's way less crowded and a pretty sweet deal.
Sam IdenNovember 21, 2014one of a kind place, have to get the beef frita with the egg on top. Atmosphere is very upbeat and modern and makes it a fun palce to attend.
Beni ChhunNovember 27, 2013Delicious little slice of sunshine that's a great respite from the A2 winter. Ginger lime juice packs a fresh ginger punch. Get plaintains with cilantro. Best calorie bomb ever.
Hinh TranSeptember 17, 2016Chorizo burger with the works 👌🏼. The Batidos smoothie/milkshake is amazing. Must get. Also super cheap churros that is huuuuuge.
Jeb GavinJune 9, 2013EAT A FRITA. Oh, unless they up the amount of conch in the conch fritters, you can probably skip them, but the fries are killer, as is the soda, the batidos, and the churros (they're vaguely orangey.)
Chorizo Frita with cheese and an egg, can't go wrong. Add a side of fries and the fresh lemonade is great too.
black bean frita with avocado spread + coconut cream batido. and don't miss the "best snack ever." This place is a gem
Get the Frita on a lettuce bed instead of bread for GF options ✌️ also the Best Snack Ever
Try the chorizo frita with avocado and Muenster. I also love the hibiscus batido 🌺 and the best snack ever!- Mark B.December 15, 2015If you're in Ann Arbor, do yourself a favor and go here. Get chorizo frita, add muenster and egg, with a lime and rum batido.
Happy Hour: 4-6 and last hour of service. $5 Beef Frita, $2 Cuba Libre (rum+coke+lime), $1.5 Cilantro Lime Fries = Awesome early/late dinner for under $10!!!!!!
DJ SkeezOctober 14, 2012I've tried it all, but the fish frita w/ tropical slaw and avocado might have been the best fish sandwich I've ever had...well done...never disappoints
Ryan CohickMay 25, 2017If you get a burger to go, don't forget to put on the delicious mayo that comes with it, which will be packaged separately.
The black bean fritas with Munster cheese is amazing. Get it with a chocolate espanol with a dash of rum.
Tanushree ShirodkarSeptember 21, 2015All the fritas are amazing and coconut cream batido is just soothing.. Get ur fritas with all the toppings "make it a Loco"
Bianca NgAugust 21, 2016The burgers are wonderful, but too messy for me. The drinks are also great. Heavy meal when you're in the mood for it!
Ross RobertsonApril 21, 2015I had fried plantains, and a caipirinha. The food was amazing. The drink not so much. Will definitely go back again.- NOM NOM BorisJanuary 15, 2013wow one of the best places ever! Chorizo Frita is simply amazing and must try
Christina KyrillosNovember 2, 2014The passion fruit batido is to die for! Don't forget the crispy plantains.
Alex SederApril 3, 2016Really cool place with unique offerings. The chorizo was great. Could use more seating.
Malachi CraneAugust 4, 2018The fries are amazing. Make sure you specify how you want your beef cooked. They default to medium rare.
Logan QuigleyJuly 2, 2016The black bean frita. SO good... But by the end, I wished I had made it lighter and just eaten it on Romaine.
John WheelerNovember 23, 2015So good. Don't miss the garlic and cilantro fries. Unbelievably good with the yellow sauce.
Sandro PuglieseOctober 7, 2011Can't recommend the batido enough - I went with passionfruit & a splash of rum. Cuban is quite fine with thick cut bacon, roast pork & cornichon. Frita ruled too.
Blake StrattonNovember 2, 2013Incred. Worth the wait. Best burger I've had in a long, long time. And garlic cilantro fries? Stupid good!- Shayla GreenApril 17, 2013So good! Garlic cilantro fries are out of this world. Ginger lime juice with Don Julio tequila, so refreshing :)
Sam ConstanceSeptember 25, 2017The Best Snack Ever is aptly named. Get it with an Inspired Cuban 1/2 sandwich.
Jenny H.July 8, 2013The staff was fun and the food unique and delicious. Try the Coconut Cream Baroda with Rum!
Zahrah FadelJanuary 22, 2016Go loco on any of the fritas. The Best Snack Ever is actually the best meal ever
Brian JeongAugust 10, 2014The fries are amazing here. Make sure to try a batido as well because they are very refreshing.
Cindy S.November 22, 2012The mango pineapple tropical soda is delicious! Also, get an egg on your frita...it's incredibly messy but worth it.
Ar HiriartApril 10, 2019Passion fruit Batido is the best I have ever tasted. The rest of the food is just ok.
Lisa RayleJanuary 11, 2016Get the chorizo frita. Not something to eat everyday but a delicious treat!
Shayla MenaMarch 2, 2016Ridiculous prices, expensive burgers... But let me tell you something: I'm pretty sure I've never had a better burger. If you're a UM student you HAVE to try them out.
carolyn williamsOctober 18, 2012Casual, but cool, and tasty food. Bean soup was good. The mango batido overflowed the top the of glass, brain freeze.
Juliette McNiven-PerryAugust 22, 2013Deliciousness at its best...guac, Cuban sammy, gazpacho, & yummy drinks!
