5 /5 Marta Merino: We had an amazing experience at this Cuban restaurant — from start to finish, it was warm, welcoming, and delicious in every way. We had a reservation and were greeted promptly with friendly service. Our server, Malia, was absolutely fantastic. She took time to walk us through her favorite drinks and dishes, which made our evening feel even more personalized.
My husband is a rum enthusiast, and he was thrilled to see a curated selection from around the world — not your typical mass-produced brands. We were lucky to have Justin stop by our table, and he gave us what felt like a mini masterclass on rum and the restaurant’s history. He’s such a fun and knowledgeable guy — his recommendations for both food and drinks were spot on!
We started with some unforgettable appetizers. The ceviche was a standout — the smoky flavor of the watermelon was such a unique and refreshing twist. The potatoes with andouille sauce delivered a bold punch of flavor, all packed into a crispy, satisfying potato "vessel."
For mains, I had the lechón, which was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned — it instantly transported me back to Guavate in Puerto Rico. The rice was flavorful, but the beans? Truly out of world.
My husband went with the ropa vieja, and it did not disappoint — the tomato-based sauce was rich and deeply developed, and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender.
To top it all off, we shared the toasted coconut rum cake — and what a show! The tableside flambé of the lemon curd was dramatic and delicious. It was a fantastic night out, full of flavor, fun, and great company. We’ll definitely be back!
