Amazing service and the food was delicious. We had the empanadas and bowls with chicken, beef and shrimp. I would have loved to have some yellow rice added with some pineapples. Just my preference and the plantain bowls to be a little sweeter. We had the red snapper and lasagna. Drinks and desserts were amazing. We will definitely come back.

This restaurant has always been one of our favorites to celebrate special occasions at but this last time was awful. Menu has been cut down severely and quality of food is just not there anymore. Food was served cold and appetizers were stale. Real shame that we have nowhere to get genuine Cuban food in Boston.

The food was so amazing we went back a second night. This restaurant should be packed nightly. The service was great! My family thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. Don’t miss out. It’s spectacular…
