fantastic cuban food. i'm not sure what people were expecting in terms of ambience (think local diner), but the food at this place was amazing. we've had home cooked cuban many times and tried dozens of cuban restaurants looking for the good stuff. this, friends, is the good stuff. puerco melted in your mouth, with a fantastic tamale on the side. probably the best friend plantains i've had in years. bf's ropa vieja was equally good, as was the moros. all for under $40 with tax, tip, beer, and a cafe con leche to end. we might go back for a second time this trip!
