Delicious Cuban food. I had the tostones nachos and it was so flavorful and yummy. The Mojo sauce was excellent - piquant and full of flavor. Service was great. Unbeknownst to us, we came in right before closing, but we would never have known by the way they took care of us. Everyone of the five of us enjoyed our meals.

Fri 12/15/23: Still fabulous. Ordered my favorite: the pork sandwich!! It was great! I wanted to order that fabulous soup they have but felt like I was in too big a hurry. So, next time I'll get again. It is fabulous (chicken dice...)!!! Nice folks! Wed 8/23/23: Youngish couple running the place tonight. Food is still wonderful as is service. The atmosphere has definitely been enhanced. Very pleasant, comfortable sitting inside given the heat outside and eating/talking. Hope we didn't stay too long. Will return. Can't wait for cold weather to have the Chicken Rice Cuban Soup again! Thu 3/9/23: Still fabulous! Covered, outdoor seating. Mon 2/6/23: Food still fabulous! More tables. Chicken rice Cuban soup was amazing!! Chunks of chicken, slow cooked broth, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato. Comfort food! Sat 3/26/22: Pork sandwich and flan. Excellent. (See below) Tues 2/12/22: Great pork sandwich and a pastry (see picture; had guava inside). Wed 1/12/22: Great pork empanadas and pork sandwiches. I ordered online about 4:15 today and went and picked the food up. It was ready when I got there and tasted fabulous. It appeared that there were more tables than the last time I was there. Sat 9/25/21: Great food but today I stood in line 20 minutes and line did not move at all. I'll go back on a weekday. Also, there was no air conditioning. 7/26/21: Excellent pork sandwich. Lots of soft, juicy pork. Also full of the onions and juices it was cooked in. Amazing. The black beans were cooked in a similar broth. I must go back and try more.

The food is so delicious! Ordered the beef empanada, which had the perfect texture and flavor, and the Cuban sandwich, which was classic and exactly what I was hoping for. So flavorful and satisfying. Will definitely go back!

Needed a place to go with a friend. Am I glad we went here! Authentic deliciousness! Highly recommend. The sandwich was fantastic and filling. Tostones were on point with this amazing garlic sauce. I will be back!

2nd time here with my hubby. Empanadas are delicious and the cubano is super filling. The green sauce and red salsa to die for. The owners are friendly and provide great service. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!!

Wonderful spot! Service by the family that owns it is super friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious. Hands down the best Cuban sandwich in the state. We were lucky enough to get the last serving of oxtails that were amazingly flavorful and fall-off-the-bone tender. (Daily specials will sell out.) Also tried the pork chunks that were crispy on the outside and juicy and tender in the middle. The sides are good enough to stand on their own. Gotta get the sweet plantains (caramelized on the outside), mixed black beans & rice and the yucca with mojo. All this left us wondering, why aren't they more Cuban restaurants in Colorado?

My wife and I stumbled across this place while driving. We came in and the staff was welcoming friendly and very nice. We ordered Cubans and chicken empanadas and I cannot express how delicious they were. I almost placed another full order to go. The green sauce they have is to die for and taste so good with the Cuban sandwich and empanadas. Try it out if you're around that area. Definitely worth it.
