The Chickendilla is always perfect with plenty of chicken, cheese, etc. The bbq sauce is quie tasty. The chicken is well marinated/seasoned, not bland or too salty like many places. Sweet Plantains are always the perfect treat when I want a sweet bite thatas god flavor besides just pure sugar. Everything always arrives fresh, accurate, and warm! Will def order again!

This food was on point. Food arrived warm and looked fantastic and tasted even better. Loved the sauce on top of the Loaded Seasoned Tots. The Classic Cubano really hit the spot. Let me tell you the Yuca Churro Fries were excellent probably the best churros I have had. The Sweet Plantains were super sweet and tasted great. The chocolate mint patties were an unexpected little treat with my order. Will definitely order from this place again. Highly recommended!

The Chickendilla was dang good!The perfect amount of each ingredient and well cooked. Yuca Churro Fries with their house caramel sauce was better than any churro fries I've had. Sweet Plantains were phenominal. Cuban Corn was tasty and unique. Literally a stellar meal all around, that arrived hot and fresh, full of flavor and quality ingredients, with good-sized portions.Can't say enough good things about this meal!
