Real Shame for the Caribbean Cuisine. Stay AWAY!!!. I am Cuban; i was raised eating Caribbean food. I used to come to this restaurant couple year ago and was good. Now in my last visit i found a place with a lot of issues: - Server was not polite and not caring for the customers (real BAD attitude).

- No more plantains chips on the table (at least for me and my companion).

- Have to wait more than 45 minutes for the meal.

- When i got the food, was cold and blend.

From been one of the places to go in order to get some decent food, had become a place to definitely avoid.

Positive about the place: I didn't die of food poisoning.

Latino no no nada q ver,. He visitado este restaurant en tres ocasiones.La primera vez, pedi ropa vieja y estaba fria y picante.la segunda vez fui y el arroz blanco estaba duro.y el dia de fathers day invite a mi esposo, pensando q habia mejorado la cocina y fue peor q las veces anteriores.tuve q devolver los frijoles era pura agua y tres granos de frijol nada mas,el congry le dieron la raspa o la parte pegada del caldero.no era fresco.El churrasco lo pedi bien cocinado y estaba crudo...ya no voy mas.El sandwich cubano caroooo y que va mejor es el de Cuba Bakery en round rock.

it was alright.. i was born in the dominican republic, so believe me, i know dominican food well. their ropa vieja was not as good as i expected and the magu was nothing like the mangu i eat in the dominican republic. everything was extremely over salted. however, there were some good things: boiled yuca, arroz con guandules, chicharrones de pollo, and their mojo. the staff was friendly, but slow. it was also over priced, considering the quality of the food.

Food Is Always Served Cold. The restaurant has potential to be excellent. The staff is friendly, and they are understanding when the complaints are valid. However, the kitchen has some major drawbacks. Expect to wait an incredibly long time, as they have limited staff. When the food does arrive, it is ALWAYS cold!!! The rice and beans are always room temperature, as if they just pulled it out of a pot that has been sitting on the stove!! Two times my dish was returned, before I just gave up! By the time the rice and beans were warm, everything else was cold. They refried my tostones, and gave it back with a bite I had taken from it. I, unfortunately can't recommend a place that offers this service.

Awesome place to eat and enjoy!. I loved the food, Service and that it is like a hole in the wall. Thats what makes it awesome. Aside of course the great tasting food. I am a Puerto Rican from NYC and this is the closest i can get to home cooked meals from home. It takes me back to my grandma cooking int he kitchen :)
