I love this spot. This was my 3rd time here, once at the bar and twice to sit and eat dinner. They play great music. When they have a band perform, they are fantastic. The service is amazing. The food is even better! I've eaten the shrimp in garlic sauce & the churrasco, both are so delicious! Even their fries are SO GOOD! It is a small location but it's worth it. I even enjoy the lighting and the decor. Great Ambiance!

Great Cuban food! The staff is very friendly and the menu has great selections. There was music which started in the evening, it was a great atmosphere. Our meals were very good, the drinks were spot on and we had tres leches for dessert, also very good. This is a great little place, don't miss it!

This special place has been my favorite place for about 10 years, love everything about it, the live music, the food, but I can't lie, their mojitos are top top top!!! Freshly made, with natural ingredients, and yummy like no other in NYC, and I just keep coming back for it every chance I get!

Excellent first experience at a Cuban restaurant. Had the lechon and a chicken dish both recommended by the staff member. Monday happy hour meant cheap drinks too. Good sized portions and tasty food. Service was attentive

Nothing beats live Cuban music, strong mojitos, great service, friendly people, delicious food and Cuban salsa!! Great place for a birthday or celebration. Not a ton of gf options but there were some things to eat. The garlic calamari was tasty.

The sandwich I had -- the"best Cuban sandwich in town" according to The Eater -- was nothing to rave about, but it was fine. Keep in mind though that I'm not a great fan of Cuban food, it's too bland for my taste.

Loved the food and the cozy feel of this place. Went last weekend for dinner. The live music was awesome and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Reservations are needed. Keep in mind.

We arrived at 7:30pm for dinner, the music was playing and the restaurant was filled to capacity. The Cuban art, music and decor made one feel at ease. As I looked around there was not an empty seat in sight. Lots of birthday celebrations going on and when they sing to you, everyone is involved. So much fun!

Excellent food good prices and very comfortable dining room. I met cousins from NC and we at lunch and visited for 2+ hours and never felt rushed, they continued refilling our water glasses.

The food is amazing! Even the chicken soup and calamari seemed better than most. Food is on the pricier end, and the restaurant can be a bit drafty though. The music and vibes make up for it, and I'm sure even more so if you get to stay for the live band! Also note that happy hour is only at the bar.

Food is very good. But, very overpriced for wine, appetizers, & side dishes.Very overpriced.Recommend you see menu on Yelp on their website. To understand what I mean.The staff and decor was very nice, our waiter Jose was good. But, could check on his customers every ten minutes or so to see if we want drinks, water refills, or anything. Just saying...

Good spot for Cuban food and good service. The plantain fries are delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked. I also really liked the flan dessert.
