The owner Dominic is very rude and apparently likes kicking people out of his establishment for no reason. My friends and I went there on Saturday evening to have dinner and needless to say we were refused service and we are still uncertain why. It is also quite obvious that his employees are afraid of him. He came over spoke to us and got very obnoxious with my friend. He did not introduce himself or say who he was. Poor quality service.

  • Racist, abusive, nasty owner. Below average food. Overcrowded, super loud. Do yourself a favor and AVOID this place like The Plague. BOYCOTT! Long story short, we waited 3x longer than were told for a table, and the owner Domonic tried sitting 5 at a table for 2. When we asked for a different table, he exploded. Kicked us out and threatened to get his "Mexican's from the kitchen to kick our white gringo asses." Still in shock! BOYCOTT THIS JERK!

  • I've gone to this establishment for years now, I'm acquainted with the owner and many of the waitstaff. I've never had a negative experience. The food is delicious and the staff friendly and attentive. I'm surprised at the negative reviews and therefore felt a need to write one. The place is lively, loud with a fun atmosphere. It may not be great for a first date because of the noise levels, but other then that, go and enjoy the experience!

  • The first time I went to this restaurant was 2 weeks ago, we were a party of 6, made my reservation and everything perfect, no delays, no cancelations. We had checked the reviews but still want it to give it a try. And no regrets, I have no idea why so many bad reviews, food perfect! I am Cuban and I know my Cuban food, I've been in many Cuban restaurants and this one is simply perfect. The waitress are great we met the owner and he wasn't rude.
