    This is a hidden gem around the neighborhood, Food is delicious , very good taste , it takes some time for your food to come out but you will get the best experience, at first if you walk past by it don’t seem like a restaurant from the outside, but when you go inside it’s very cozy , service is exceptional. I go here very often and it’s BYOP. Best dishes: Cuban Fried Rice, Salmon platter, and the steak Appetizers: Shrimp bruschetta, empanadas chicken and beef

    The authenticity of this Cuban Restaurant will have me coming back the next time I visit from DC. The management was very inviting and gave me a sense of family. I will be returning in the warmer months when they open the outside bar.

    Went to Kiwi Cuba for a date and had a great time! Food was fun - a mix between latin and New Zealand, which you don't see often. Worked great together, though! And Cesar, our server, was super attentive and knowledgeable. Definitely coming back soon!
