What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"A really cool Cuban cafe in a cool part of the city. They have a take out counter to the left when you first get in plus a decent sized seating area for that part of town. There’s also a bar in the back to the right when you walk in. Food was good. I had the chicken chipotle sandwich and my wife had the “ropa vieja sandwich” and we both had the cafe con lecha. The sandwiches were delicious and the cafe con lecha was sweet so keep that in mind not to add more sugar. The atmosphere is modern and cozy with an attentive staff. We ended up there after visiting the Contemporary Art Museum so I Highly recommend it if you’re in the area and looking for a quick bite."
"Excellent Restaurant. Portions were large, food cooked and seasoned perfectly, and Mojiotos were top notch. Staff were friendly and attentive as well. All around good experience and would definitely return again when in the area."

"Had a great dinner here. This is a hidden gem. Food is excellent. The “nachos” use plantains instead of tortillas, and they’re delicious. It’s a great switch-up. I had a bbq pork sandwich which was delicious."
"This place was very good. Very dim lit and we sat in the back which was really dark. Our waiter, although really nice, only came to see us when we ordered and when it was time to go, despite us letting him know we are waiting for another person. The bartender was able to pick up the slack. Other than that, my food was amazing. I had the guava bbq chicken platter which was amazing. My friends had the chorizo sandwich which was good as well. Coffee was amazing."
"Great spot for some straightforward Cuban food right downtown. I got the GuavaQ Chicken plate which comes with black beans, rice, and sweet plantains. I..."
