Went for coffee and toast for breakfast. What beautiful people. Thought this was a Cuban restaurant but was pleasantly surprised to find Dominican food. Will definitely be back for lunch.

This is an amazing little local place tucked away cooking up some legit Dominican food. Came for breakfast on a early Saturday morning. Had a few different things to eat and also take home. We had the omelet with ham and veggies, ham/egg/cheese sandwich, and a Cuban. Like I said...we wanted take home too...lol! Service is quick and friendly and the owner interacts with her customers. Great spot for quick, easy, and affordable food. Enjoy!

Anytime I'm in S. Florida I've immediately got to get Cuban and Dominican food. This place does not disappoint. Flavors were fantastic. And maybe the best sweet plantains I've ever had. I'll be back.

This feels like one of those "hole-in-the-wall" places you find and never forget. In fact, we are already talking about when we can go back next! Super friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. We had the Saturday specials of chicken stew and beef stew (carne guisada). We also had a side of fried plantains, black beans, and a beef empanada. All were incredibly, incredibly good. Go go go!!

OMG. It was so good! I had the Weds special which was picadillo and OMG it was sooo good. Annie had the Cuban sandwich as the bite I stole was delicious. The flan was light and not super sweet like most places. It's a tiny hole in the wall for real but it is worth standing in line and you can get it to go if you want. The pretty young lady behind the counter was very nice even if her English wasn't fluent. I'm definitely going to eat here again the next time I am in south Florida. Not fancy but great food and service.
