I went here for lunch today and I ordered a Cuban sandwich. Very tasty and not too heavy. The service was great and I liked the atmosphere. My sister orders from here a lot and she says it's the best Cuban food in the area. Prices are reasonable too. I recommend this restaurant.

The food was very flavorful, with speedy service, nice staff, and a very inviting environment. My mom had the sopa de marisco, kids spilt a cuban sandwich, I had the ropa vieja with white rice and black beans and tostones. Very generous portions, too! It's definitely a must if you're in the area!

I can't get over how much I love their black seafood paella! I thought by dining in I would be persuaded to finally try something else, but it didn't work - I couldn't be bothered by it.

So here we are, with the best paella dish with all its glory. Thankfully it comes with a side salad and swet plantains too! $26.99 before tax and tip.

FYI: When entering from the front door there is a weird step up to enter the building. It might not be as accessible for those who use a wheelchair.

This location was a review pick. It was a great choice. The establishment has been around for a while. Pictures of community officials and Boston sports heroes are on the wall.
The food is reason why the restaurant has been around for a while. It’s worth a visit when in Waltham, MA area.

As a Latino from Miami who moved to NH i really feel for this place because it's hard 2 find real Hispanic good food around NH, even tho this is in MA , the hour trip from where I live now is worth it. I knew this was place was going to be good because the moment we walked in there was 3 grandmas in the kitchen. Also I loved that the staff was honest when they told me yes the croquetas are the boxed ones that you can buy (Goya brand)- but the papá y rellena & empanadas we're made in house and that's definitely true we have them and that was the best papa rellena I've ever had in my life. The food was to die for , epic flavors left us so happy , service to some might seem slow but the food is on point and I really hope this spot gets to grow and i can't want to eat there again

Fantastic food. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share - mofongo, ceviche, cuban sandwich, beef tongue, skirt steak, yellow rice with pigeon peas and plantains, and a couple empanadas. For dessert we got the flan, tres leches, and the guava and cream cheese. Everything was so delicious! Also loved the maple seating and the walls covered in photos and art.

Sweet plantains, lobster and shrimp in garlic sauce, yellow rice and gandules. White rice with red beans and coconut sauce with shrimp and scallop and salad. I west for mother's day and 3 or 4 days later got different dish. The food is well worth it and you get your money 💰 😋 yummy worth with delicious food. I would definitely recommend it. I just wish my money was right I get another dish 😩 this week can't afford it. But run 🏃‍♂️ down the customer service is muy bueno Ms. K sent you.
