| - I've been to some pretty authentic Cuban restaurants and in all honesty, just by looking at some menus of the Cuban restaurants in downtown Toronto, it's not all that appealing to me. This place however, has a very simple yet authentic menu (with the exception of their fries). First thing that caught my eye were the churros, second are the churros. If you know me well, you know my undying love for churros. After being told by a couple of friends about this place, I finally made it out and on the stormiest Spring day. I heard that they are generally quite busy but because of the storm, I was able to have a chat with one of the owners, Michelle, who is obviously passionate about the place. And their food proves just that.
Churros - They were freshly fried and I personally also love just the plain ones with the cinnamon sugar. And ohmahgoodniz, they were amazing. The size was generous and the price was just right. Had the perfect crunch on the outside and moisture inside. I also love how it's not overly greasy like how some are. Will DEFINITELY go back for these. 5/5.
Cubano Sandwich - Probably my most favourite sandwich. I would even drive 1.5 to 2 hours for a Cubano sandwich (@ Cheesecake Factory at Walden Galleria). Now I won't have to anymore since this is only a 15 minute drive away! It is also very simple with the regular ingredients. What I love about this sandwich is their choice of lean pork slices. For once I didn't sit here cutting out the fat. It was also a very very generous size. Very generous that I only had half of the sandwich. 5/5.
Fries - All sandwiches come with regular/plain fries and it was also quite enjoyable. They're similar to Costco fries but with seasoning and just the right amount. Although just eating the fries on its own was delicious, some kind of condiment would go nicely with it. I made myself some mayo & ketchup to dip it in. Was also quite a generous serving. 5/5.
