Interesting food that's more american than cuban, but still good. The open bar and scary looking bartenders distract.

The food is authentic and a nice change of pace from many of the other "poser" restaurants in the area. There is a cool vibe throughout the restaurant, but the outdoor area is the place to be. The service is good and the drinks are tasty.

Just what I look for in a casual restaurant. Great food, service and prices. Not to be missed.

What a surprise. I expected an impersonation of Cubano gourmet, but this is the real deal. Without a doubt the best Cuban style food that I have eaten in California. The service is slow, the restaurant too dark, but the kitchen is serious. This place is underrated!

Best outdoor patio dining on SoCal. They created just the right table spacing plus high vegetation arouind the border to make the fresh air environment exciting without being noisy. The other member reviews say it all - perfect mojitos & sangria [flavorful and not just sweet] and great Cuban beef and pork meals, including the veggies. Definitely worth a trip.
