   I was under the impression that all the locations had live entertainment, this particular location was very small and busy and did not. There is only 2 restroom (1 male & 1 female), they really needed tending to, quite dirty.

   This place was mediocre. Felt like a Cuban version of Chilis. The appetizer sampler was not very good. The special chicken was solid though.

   We sat outside and the ambiance was very pleasant, although our table for two was so tiny that it could barely fit our plates and drinks. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was very good but not outstanding. I am Cuban so my expectations are probably very high because of my familiarity with the cuisine. The prices, however, are very reasonable. All in all, a good experience and I would recommend it.

   Francisco was our waiter. He was great! The food was tasty and the drinks were on point! It was a busy Saturday so we were seated at the last table at the corner, opposite the entrance in a table for two. There was no barrier between us and the pedestrian traffic. That felt uncomfortable especially when a derelict offered to clean your sneakers or shoes. I understand that real estate is limited but please put up some kind of separation to distinguish your establishment. Thank you!

   Other than the part where we booked an outdoor table and they gave it away to someone else while we were standing there waiting to check in for our reservation, no notes. Food is outstanding, the giant mason jars of mojitos are great and just what you want, staff are able to handle a busy night.

   Very good Cuban food on the quaint Espanola street. We loved our dishes (roast chicken and roast pork) which were more tasty than you imagine roast meat would be! The side dishes were a perfect complement and the drink selection was expansive. Service was also great!

    Really solid food; skirt steak, rice & beans, pork shoulder, plantains, chicken & mojitos were all really good. Would definitely recommend. Only real down side is the cigar bar next door and the smoke that blows over. Really takes away from the dinner.
