    The best Cuban restaurant we’ve ever eaten at. Started with Empenadas - the meat filling was flavorful and the pastry was crispy - outstanding. My half chicken came with plantains, potatoes, black beans and rice. A great value. The chicken was tender and pulled off the bone with ease. The gravy was delicious. The Vaca Viejo was tasty. Service was attentive and helpful. Flan was the only opportunity for improvement as I prefer mine to be soft and liquidy. Their flan was firm but delicious nonetheless.
