I don't know why I keep ordering from this place except to say that the food is good but the service is horrible. I usually order about 10:30-11:00 am (I'm not too far from them) for a 1:00 pm delivery time but they never get here on time. I'm done this was the last time for me.

Let me start by saying that I am a Cuban girl raised eating authentic Cuban food from my abuela's kitchen.... and although I will NEVER say that anyone's cooking is better than my grandmother's, I CAN say that the food here is good enough to satisfy some major cravings for home cooking. With that said, I order from here quite a bit and the food is pretty good (even after the trip from the restaurant). I usually order the ropa vieja since it is something that takes too much time and effort to make for myself. My boyfriend likes the mustard pork chops and the maduros. As for service, the delivery guys are always very nice and well within the 25-40 minute time frame. The only day it has ever taken longer has been today (Valentine's Day). We called the restaurant after waiting an hour and a half and the manager apologized and said that he was sending some extra appetizers and desserts for us. He was very nice and we appreciated his sincerity. We felt bad for the delivery guy whose bike broke and had to walk our delivery in the cold, so we tipped him a few extra bucks. All in all...mostly a positive experience. I will continue to order from this place.

I love the empanadas, papas rellenas and croquettas! Delivery is reasonable and the food is always yummy.

Arrived within 10 min of ordering, but probably the worst Cuban food I've had. I could probably make better Cuban food; I'm not even Cuban!

The best Cuban food in midtown west. Delivery is fast. Food is high-quality and delicious. I always go with the paella valenciana and cuban sandwiches - both excellent.

Unfortunately they do not deliver to E 49 & Park. However, I have been to the restaurant and absolutely LOVE it! Went there for dinner with my husband on our anniversary and had such a great experience that we returned two days later for on my birthday. Our waitress, Dailyn, was fantastic--love her! The hostess, manager were so nice and caring. Live music by REAL CUBAN SONEROS reminded me of my youth and made me feel completely at home. I recommend this place to anyone wanting truly authentic Cuban cuisine!

Have not eaten yet...but it has been 75 minutes and food has not arrived. Twenty minutes ago we called to check on the order and we were told the delivery person had left 15 minutes ago! Not a pleasing experience so far.

The food would've been a lot more delicious if I didn't have to wait an hour and a half for it. Something to consider...

This place is awesome!!!!! All of the dishes are excellent and very flavorful. Delivery is great too!

Certain items on the menu are pleasant (e.g. salad - great if you are a rabbit) but the main dishes (especially if you are latin) need some "que le ponga salsa" and maybe a little sofrito. Oh lord, and those tostones are sponge of grease - if you are looking for a heart attack I suggest the tostones. By the way there is white, yellow and moro but never orange rice - I suggest you stop spooning off the bijol and try a dash instead. The place has potential they just need a better cook - maybe one that is latin.
