"YUM!
Visited after a Mecum event at the nearby facility. Wow! Food was FANTASTIC!
I highly recommend you give the spot a try. The Cuban sandwich was amazing. Yellow rice & plantains were awesome. The bakery was SO GOOD! Prices were more than fair.
Give it a try and leave a rating to help others. 😎"

"it was nice, i ordered on the little screen u saw like near the door because i didn’t see the menu anywhere except on the walls but i understood it. took like 15-20 minutes to get there but i assume since we did it online then maybe that might’ve contributed? i dont know. food was amazing, and frappee too. good stuff and worth ur money. and it was actually cheap for what i got? but anyway. would recommend. gives off puerto rican vibes which i really enjoy seeing representation of us around here . would recommend!! super nice"

"Great food. They were very busy. Bought some pastries (quesititos, doughnuts, pastelillos de guayaba). Quesitos were not crispy, they were good enough. Ladies were very friendly."
