Breakfast and lunch are both really good. I have dined here many times while waiting for a flight and service has always been friendly and quick. I love their 1905 salad and the cuban is good too.

Darb Enif

Best airport meal I have had in a long time, possibly best ever. Authentic Cuban sandwich is a must and the original salad is a great compliment. Great grub.

Jean McCarthy

Good service , found it to be fast and delicious. Sangria , The mojo chicken with no Swiss and yellow rice , do it.

Lisa D'Mekko

They ran out of sour mix so the margarita was made with fresh squeezed lime , yum. Also recommend the black bean cakes . Extremely tasty. Key lime pie also excellent.

Melanie Casey

Amazing food & menu, wine list , excellent staff , atmosphere it’s perfect

The Cuban bread was delicious. I had the Spanish bean soup and the tostones and I felt the food lacked a little flavor. Overall it's okay for airport food .

Moe Dexler

Chicken and rice is especially good with a crisp local IPA .

Ok, Cuban is amazing.Yes! But, the 1985 salad is mind blowing. Oh, and the Sangria de Cava is perfect with it.

Lisa Bishop

Left in asada is the best besides the staff . They always recognize me and know my name!!

Penny Miller

I had the combo - salad & sandwich . The salad tasted okay but it made me very sick. Luckily I was off the plane when this happened. Would not recommend the salad .

Carlos Ortiz

Food, manager, Erika. Great people. Amanda, not good at all. Slow in taking our order. Too much bad attitude after we requested to change servers. Don't like Amanda's service and lack thereof.

Patricia White

Ask for Natalie. She's the best!
