Cecilia Waikoko-WhippleDecember 18, 2015Mariscada - seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams, calamari) stew in island spices and coconut milk. Optional: add rice. Delicious!
Ralph HirschDecember 17, 2011Very small; liquor license? no; bring your own. Guacamole? The best I've ever had!! Puerco Asado is generous, delicious, amazing with the best caramelized onions Don has ever had. Early or late 2 sit.
AliAugust 14, 2018Best food I’ve had in Boston ( yet), period. Service COULD be a bit better. Place doesn’t like a high end restaurant. But with food like that, who cares.
Rich SarchioniFebruary 13, 2018First time here tried the Braised Oxtail, pulpo a la Gallega, and camarones al ajillo, all excellent!!!
A SMarch 31, 2017Everything was a hit! Especially the Cuban whim sandwich. Plantains in an egg sandwich? Yes, please!!!
anna simmonsMarch 18, 2015small plates rock the house - get the short ribs, camarones, pulpa de galega, and the best was the chicharones - sooo good
Kaely GFebruary 23, 2016Really good plantain chips and Cuban sandwich! And the empanada is a must, very delicious.
Attila KissMay 27, 2016Ropa Vieja was delicious. Churros wth chocolate sauce for desert were amazing as well.
Francisco RuscalledaDecember 8, 2017Try the tortilla española, skip the empanadas. Pork shoulder highly recommended.
Jeremy KrantzMay 4, 2014This restaurant's Cuban fare is absolutely divine. And it's BYOB! A real hidden gem.
Authentic Cuban small plates and entrées. I've never had anything bad!
- Everything is delicious and the best part? BYOB!!

One of the very few restaurants in the Boston area offering authentic Cuban cuisine. For lunch, a great selection of sandwiches, soups and salads. At dinnertime with the most succulent Cuban meals!
