“The Ropa Vieja that I had was very flavorful and tender, I love the brininess and acidity coming from the olives, and the Lechon Jabarito was the perfect sandwich, the meat had the perfect fat and lean ratio, and it is grilled to add some crisp to it, perfect”

“It’s like coming to eat at your fav cousins.”
It’s like coming to eat at your fav cousins. The vibes are real, the food is delicious and the coffee was so creamy and hot— perfect ratio of espresso/milk. I had the jibarito de ropa vieja w/cheese — I have no words— yall just gotta try it for yourselves.

I visited for lunch on a cold day and had the perfect food to warm me up. Everything was delicious: fish sandwich, chicken soup with yellow rice, guayba and cheese empañada and coconut cafe con leche. The servings were large so I had leftovers.

Delicious food, between 3 of us we tried some sandwiches, a plate, a soup and one of the puddings and everything was delicious. Loved jibarito style. Omar himself is so friendly and will make you feel so welcome, and the whole vibe of the place is just a great time. Highly recommend.

“Omarcitos is an absolute gem.”
Omarcitos is an absolute gem! Omar’s energy is unmatched — he makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. We called about 15 minutes before closing to let him know we’d be arriving late, and he warmly assured us that everything would still be available except the fish. When we arrived, the place was lively and full of good vibes. The food was incredible — so flavorful and fresh! Even though they had run out of rice, Omar made it right by doubling up on beans and plantains, and he even brought us dessert to try. What a sweetheart! You can tell he’s the heart and soul of this place. We’ll definitely be coming back!

“Amazing food and atmosphere.”
Amazing food and atmosphere! There was a long wait to order, get a table, and to get the food but it was totally worth the wait. Definitely lives up to the hype, and we'll be going back for sure.
