Great food with classic and robust flavors. Versatility on menu and ordering was easy and without resistance. Lots of fresh ingredients; tastes authentic because it is. Owned by a local Gkenciew resident who loved his heritage and culture that wants to bless his neighbors and community with incredible Cuban food. They also have a food truck too for private parties. Great spot for dine-in, carry out or delivery (check who does their delivery service.). I love their shrimp tacos also their fish tacos. Classic torts was so balanced and authentic. My young son even devoured all his food and rice with beans. They also have amazing flan dessert along with Michicanana palettas and other desserts. Head over and see what all the buzz is about.

We went out with some friends today to grab some tacos. We also had guacamole and chips, as well as rice and beans. Steak Tacos were good.  Everything else was average. We weren't crazy about the rice and beans.  The service was very good, however the atmosphere felt like it was more of a fast food pickup restaurant.

Nice little restaurant! The food is good. I was expecting it to be Ecuadorian food given the name of the restaurant and the name of the plate "hornado", but it's more Mexican than anything else. Great place for tacos and good service. I LOVED the tostones!

Review is for their FOOD TRUCK NOT ACTUAL RESTAURANT. A taco was $5. I would rather starve.

Great prices and ever greater quality!!! The tacos are amazing I always get them on taco Tuesday, but the regular tacos are also really good and massive (which explains the price). The burritos are amazing, it my delivery go to!!!

First timers! I can’t say enough good things about the flavor of this food! We ordered chicken/beef quesadillas, el pastor and brisket tacos, a chicken tamale and the plantains. We loved everything!! We will be back!!

The food is great, very tasty.Services you order thru by scanning a QRCode. So i gave service 3 stars cause they bring out the food and don't check in on you at all, so i think they need to improve in that aspect. At least check if you need something or have any questions about the menu.
