  • Tiny and always packed I sat at the counter, since I travel for business I often eat alone, not an issue here, although busy the staff made me feel welcome and let me tell you the food was outstanding. by Seb the "FoodDude" Sat 12/31/2011 12:00 AM Middletown, NJ Joined Dec 2011 114 Posts 170 Restaurant Visits
  • Another one of my stops on May Minnesota Triple D Roadtrip. We went here for late dinner after b-fast at Colasal Cafe, and lunch at Blue Door Pub. So we were actually pretty full by time got here. But Guy said on show if you live within so many miles to plan vacation around this place. I belive was last night in Minneapolis so had no choice. And he wasn't wrong either. First Cuban food I've had and was amazing. I had the Piccadillo A La Cubano, and my buddy had the Cuban Sandwich both featured on show. We both finished our plates so must have been good if we ate it all on such full stomachs. Loved the building too, a must to visit again. by U2chaser Fri 11/18/2011 12:00 AM Grand Forks Joined Nov 2011 48 Posts 46 Restaurant Visits

    Always get the Cuban toast. Always get a mimosa (any will do), and you can't go wrong with the the sweet plantain omelette for brunch.

    Everything here is amazing. Even though I live nowhere by it anymore I make a point to drive out. My boyfriend liked his Cuban sandwich so much he got up and hugged the chef.

    Cuban hash is the best breakfast in town.

    Ropa Vieja, Picadillo a la Cubana and the Sandwich Cubano were the three dishes chosen when "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" was filmed here.
