Had air conditioning. Servers were very nice and answered any questions. Had more tables than staff so need to wait or flag someone down, but the servers are very good with taking down orders and bringing back drinks, food, utensils. Complimentary(? bread basket had warm and soft, lightly toasted buttered bread. The fried pie shell and seasoned ground beef of the empanadaswere a hit, totally recommend for people who like fried empanadas. The plantains (maduros? were a nice sweet treat so didn'tneed to get dessert. The green salsa was delicious and not burn your mouth spicy.

Got a take out order tonight! Ordered the Cubano sandwich, Beef Empanada and Mariquitos! Everything was great, the Empanada was especially good and could have made a meal out of several of them! Walked in and they just had our order to go. So friendly,enjoyed visiting with the gal that took care of the transaction. Would definitely go there again!!
I absolutely love cuban food, but its hard to find fresh cuban food nearby. This place always has fresh food with good service and variety of plates. Everytime I pass by El Monte, I know I have to make a stop here. The area and parking situation are not the best, but the food makes it completely worth it.
I had not had Cuban food before, friend of mine said we should go and try it that she'd been there and it was very good. I have to agree, the food was very tasty and I definitely will be going back next time I'm in the area, and I suggest you do as well. Their sandwiches are absolutely incredible.

The empanadas, plantanos, lengua, and ox tails are pretty good. But the Cuban sandwiches are not good. We were all excited to try the sandwiches and were pretty dissapointed. The sandwiches are dry and use deli meat. There's a better Cuban sandwich downthe street at a brewery.
I went to this place the other day with high hopes for arroz con pollo in short LE FALTO SAZON! Clearly I was disappointed for such an important Cuban dish to come short. I will never order this plate again. They ruined my eating experience.
The food was delicious, but the service could use some work. They are definitely missing out on not having live music. We will definitely eat here again. Delicious mojito! My husband loved the expresso and garbanzo bean soup.
Most authentic to my in laws cooking and tasty! Cuban fried rice, croquettes, empanadas, cuban sandwich, yucca con MOJO, tamale, bistec empanzada are always are go to with plenty of leftovers.
