Best Cuban Food Since Florida!
After living in Washington for four years, I finally tried this restaurant today and was incredibly impressed. It's legitimately the best Cuban food I've had since leaving Florida. The food was a perfect 5/5, and the service was equally excellent at 5/5. The atmosphere also received a 5/5 rating. This place is suitable for all group sizes and offers plenty of free parking.

Authentic Cuban Food Found!
After living in Key West for 20 years, I was yearning for authentic Cuban food in Seattle. Thank goodness I found this place because the meals are perfect! The Cubano is excellent, and I've yet to find any place in the Seattle area that makes a cafe con leche as good as. Well. Cafe Con Leche. The food and cafe con leche were outstanding, and the service and atmosphere were also top-notch.

Wonderful Stop with Amazing Food!
As visitors from New York, we found this cafe to be a wonderful stop. The cafe con leche tasted just like my mom used to make. The carne frita was absolute perfection and I can’t recommend it enough, rating it a 10/10. We also highly recommend the rice and black beans, also a 10/10. The lechon con pan was very good, earning an 8/10. We were seen fast and the waitress was friendly. We 10 out of 10 recommend this place.

Absolutely Delicious and Amazing Service!
Coming from Miami, Florida, this restaurant truly hit the spot and made me feel like I was back home. Everything, and I mean everything, was delicious! The service was amazing! From the drinks to the food to the dessert, everything was a hit. The food came out fast and fresh. This place is bomb, and I'm definitely coming back!

Delicious Yuca Fries and Hearty Stew!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was always greeted with a smile and haven't had anything I didn't like. The yuca fries and dipping sauce were a perfect combination of texture and flavor. Even on a warm day, the stew was a great option; it was full of flavor, hearty, and generously filled with pork, yuca, and corn. For those looking for a vegetarian option, the vegetarian sandwich is also a good choice, with the caramelized onion and avocado pairing wonderfully.

Authentic Cuban Bread and Food!
As someone who grew up in Florida and lived in Miami for four years, I can confidently say this is the place for authentic Cuban food. They even make their Cuban bread on-site, and it was so good I considered taking a loaf home for toast! The plated dinners were also wonderful.

Pleasant Cuban Sandwich Experience
My wife and I stopped by on National Cuban Sandwich Day 2025 and were quite pleased with our experience. The restaurant was quiet, and we enjoyed a great Cuban sandwich. Our server was incredibly friendly and bubbly.

Authentic Cuban Food & Sweet Service
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. I love this place and we eat in and order out often. The Ropa Vieja is so yummy and always hits the spot, tasting just like my husband's Cuban mother used to make it. The waitress is also the sweetest lady.

Favorite Spot with Yummy Aioli!
This is one of our favorite spots to get food from. The cilantro aioli is so yummy and even changed my mind about cilantro! The only negative is they need more staff during busy times because the wait gets really long.

Best Cuban Food and Yuca Fries!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best Cuban I've had in a very long time. We also shared the Yuca fries, and they were delicious and super crispy!
