Good Cuban food at a reasonable price. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great happy hour deals, two-for-one margaritas. They have live bands that play salsa and merengue on the weekend.

We came for the grand opening, New Years and this weekend. We have not only enjoyed the music and the appetizers and food is delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant/dance club. We have gone to so many clubs and they are filthy. This renovated place is clean and will thrive big as the word goes out. We will definitely come and support a place that is clean and the food is delicious of course do not forget to come and dance the night away. Cumbias, salsa, regaton and much more.

This place is a party on Saturday nights! The food and drinks are all solid and the prices are not too bad at all, but the real star of the show here is the live band. A dedicated stage with a large dance floor means you should plan on dancing all night long!

First time been here and really really coming back. From the staff at the entrance thru the staff at the restaurant. Everyone so nice and courteous. Offering you what to eat and what to drink. Also giving you some options. Definitely this a place you must come and experience something different something beyond the extra mile.
