| - If you are expecting a wonderfully authentic Cuban meal, you will be sorely disappointed.
DECOR: This is a former dive bar, and it still looks like a dive bar. It's poorly lit, with aging tables. Looks more like a seedy bar you would see in the beginning of Scarface, when they are still trying to rise to the top.
SERVICE: We ordered a Jerk Chicken and another chicken dish. Since you could see into the kitchen, we observed they had one person preparing the meals. Our food too about 30 minutes to come out of the kitchen. We were the only guests in the place when we ordered.
The bar staff was very friendly.
FOOD: Meh. My jerk chicken portion was large, but very dry. Instead of marinating the chicken breast, they merely poured a very sweet, but not very flavorful sauce over it. There was no heat to it. The same could be said of my guest's meal. Very dry and not very flavorful.
I also had rice and beans. They were cooked properly, but again, did not have the flavor profile you would expect from a Latin-themed restaurant. Very bland.
Most of the options are beef or pork, which is to be expected from a Latin restaurant. If you do not eat red meat, or are vegetarian, your options will be limited.
PRICES: For the portions you receive, they are fair. The quality of food, however, made us feel they were overpriced.
OVERALL: Great theme, but the mediocre food and depressing decor will likely lead me to not return. Disappointed, because I had high expectations from the other reviews.
