Any and every chance I get to come eat over here. Who's ever recipes or whoever the cook is they got it going on. Best barbacoa that I've tasted anywhere, and that is including different states. They may have a mistake every so often, but it is forgivable because the food itself is so well worth it. Their hospitality is awesome always welcoming with a smile a

Got three incredibly delicious asada burritos at the drive-thru. Comes standard with onions, cilantro, lettuce, and tomato. The carne asada was well seasoned and cooked so the edges were a little crispy, just how I like it. Salsa verde included was amazing as well. I'll definitely be stopping by for more if we're ever in the area again. Highly recommend.

The food here is really good, the torta cubana is the best, tacos are small but flavorful and tasty. They only take cash but that’s not an issue, I’ve ordered by phone and picked up my food within 15 minutes after ordering. The place is clean, service is fast and I’ve personally never had any issues.

I loved it!. This is my first time ever trying a torta. I ordered the Cubana torta. It did not disappoint me. The bread was fantastic, it was tender but yet, not crumbly and held everything together. The salsa I really liked too. It was just spicy enough to get my eyes watering.
