Reviews

Although the staff was friendly, I had to get up and go to the back to ask to order.
The sandwiches were very dry with a tiny serving of meat.
The bread was lightly burned on both sides and very dry.
Without a dipping sauce is was not eatable.
I would have asked for a sauce, but could not get anyone to come back to the table.
No refills on drinks.
On the positive side, the french fries were some of the best I have ever tasted.
It came with a very small serving of ketchup, and since no one ever came back to the table, was unable to ask for more.
The restaurant was not busy.
I did notice some tables received much better service than we did.
This was the worst service I have received at a restaurant.
I am not sure what happened, but it was very dissapointing.

I was the only one there at around 1:45 which made me a little nervous.
But more people showed up at around 2:00! I tried the classic Cuban sandwich, which was large, on really good bread with plenty of pork and ham but not quite enough mustard.
A little dry.
Came with good fries or you could get plantains or other sides for an upcharge.
All in all a nice little spot.
I hope enough people try it out so it stays open!

We went for a weekday lunch.
The restaurant was clean and orderly.
We’d already preplanned our order so the pleasant server got our drink and food orders at the same time.
The orders came out in a reasonable time and tasted great.
The Cuban sandwiches were very good and they came with a nice sized portion of battered fries.
The sandwiches were substantial enough that we brought half of each home.
I love me a good Cuban sandwich and this one was exceptionally good.
The silverware was very clean, so we knew the utensils were new or their dishwasher was nice and hot; filmy cutlery is a sign of poorly washed dishes.
Napkins on the table are a big thumbs up.
The drink station was clean and orderly.
We will surely return as there are other items on the menu that look good.
Overall this was a great visit and we will be back.
