First thing that hits you when you enter is the decorated walls and the wonderful smells of the kitchen. The people that run it are incredibly friendly and treat you like family. Very helpful and greet you with a smile. Based on quality, taste, and smell of the food, you know they put love and passion into every dish. We got the ropa veja (shredded beef) and the masitas de puerco (pork chunks) with rice and beans, the homemade tamales, and I have 0 complaints. Full of flavor, spice, and everything nice. And that garlic sauce is the cherry on top. I don't know what your plans are, but you need to go here, and ya gotta go now.

I love this place. We have been eating here for years. Comfort food for sure. Service is always amazing, makes you feel like family. We got the Deviled Crab, Beef Empanada, Stuffed Potatoes, The Miami Cuban, and a Homemade Croquette. Everything was delicious, but I definitely recommend the Stuffed Potatoes and the Empanadas.
