Latin food. Great place. Paintings on the wall. Wait staff all gives you the feeling you are some exotic latin island . The plantains , empanadas , and some other sides are great. Will come again.

Alex

chicken palomilla is soooo good. their pork belly is also very delicious. nice vibe here, cozy little joint.

Gideon Olshansky

Best brunch place in the area and super affordable . Just note they only take cash.

Brian Neu

Chicken (avocado ) soup ! Nice atmosphere and great service.

Seth M

Try the Palomilla ... Great flavor and very filling. Definitely a good authentic Cuban restaurant . Cash Only but has an ATM in the back.

Kit Ingui

Outstanding pancakes , fluffy and sweet. Cafe con leche is delish, and all for truly reasonable prices. I love this place.

Meg Lewis

The Cuba Libres are mighty strong and cheap ! Make sure to get a side of coconut rice . Incredible!

Khoa Ma

Everything gets better and better each time I come. The pineapple mash potatoes and the plantains are so good.

Joe Checkler

The Cuban Sandwich with chipotle mayo , and also the picadillo Cubano - the one with ground beef - are the two exceptional menu items. Most other things are solid, but those two are spectacular...

Czarina Behrends

Palomilla sandwich and guac was very good. Service is slow. Cash only . No cocktails obtained so cannot comment on that!

Mike G

Best Cuban sandwich I've had. Though not made with mustard . The coconut rice was on point too. Great service

Irena Pierova

I’m sorry, but if you buy ingredients for mojito in a grocery store and mix it by yourself at the store entrance stairs- you will have MUCH better result. I’m sorry again.

Get their ceviche and sweet plantains for apps! #15 or #19 for entrees! Sangrias are pretty good!

Get their ceviche and sweet plantains as apps! #15 or #19 for entrees! Sangrias are pretty ok!

Nice atmosphere, especially on a hot summer evening, but absolutely deplorable service. It took 30 minutes to get one drink.

Chorizo eggs benedict were awesome. Prices relative to area are reasonable.

Sabrina

The epanadas and the cuban are the way to go.

Amazing Food! I recommend Ensalada De Aguacate with Chicken and Cuban Benedict with Chorizo ! You will not be disappointed so make a trip to Brooklyn!

#19, shredded pork was a delish. Mojito a little weak.

Park Slope Notary

I've been here many times over the years. This time seems the server is the GF of the Mgr. not once did she ask how the food was etc. overall, the food is great, but the service is awful this evening.

The seafood-stuffed poblano pepper is meaty and rich.

Can't beat $5 drinks at brunch !

Tanya Robinson

Not literally outdoors unless you sit on “the porch ” adjacent to the sidewalk. Stay away from the pedestrians and (sparse) traffic by sitting just inside. Feels like visit to an island food shack.

DJ TREATS

Coconut cafe au-lait, I would have never dreamed of a combination of coconut milk and espresso .
