What Clients Say

This place does not look like much outside but the magic is inside. Their food is ammmmaaazziinngg and their cortaditos are the best around. This was my favorite spot in NJ and I highly recommend for anyone who wants authentic Cuban food without being sold on commercial nonsense.

The pernil sandwich here is A1. So if you’re picky with your sandwiches like I am, this is the place. And the place is pretty spotless.

Found this hidden gem while I was going to home depot nearby. I paid $6.95 for an amazing pernil, jarritos (soda), and an empanada. Definitely worth coming here. It's cheap and taste amazing. Other places I would have probably spent $15+.

In today's food restaurants the model is you get less then what you paid in respects to quantity and quality of food. Fortunately the opposite still exist in this back to basics restaurant. Breakfast is to the point., lunch specials and its selections are honestly like the way you would eat at your grandma's house. Must try...
