    Excellent food! Tamal was delicious and filling as a meal by itself. Wonderful flavors and excellent service. We've enjoyed our time here each time we've had the opportunity to go.

    So good! The live music was right by our table, but we could still talk. We loved their tiny guitar case tip jar. Cute!! We ate empandas, croquettes, and picahna steak. Delicious and ample portions. Thanks, abbie and alia.

    Our server was amazing! Everything she recommended was spot on and delicious! 😋 Definitely recommend the passion fruit mojitos and the short rib! 💯 It comes out in a can but don’t let it fool you or scare you away! 🤤 The ambiance feels like you are on vacation. I’m from Cincinnati area and hope to make it back again soon! 🇨🇺 The NuLu area is up and coming!

    I can’t recommend this Cuban restaurant in Louisville enough! My group and I traveled all the way from Springboro, Ohio, twice in one month, to enjoy their incredible dishes, and every visit exceeded our expectations. Jennifer was so kind and accommodating, suggesting the perfect table for us on our first visit. Her thoughtfulness really set the tone for the night. And then there was Abby, our server during the first visit she was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience. What truly stood out was Abby’s personal touch. When we returned the second week, even though it wasn’t her table, she remembered us, came over to greet us, and again made the experience unforgettable. Her warmth and genuine care are rare to find. I wish I had her as our server again, but next time, I’ll be sure to request her, and if you are reading this, make sure to request her, you will thank me for this recommendation! The food? Absolutely delicious, authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and so satisfying that it’s worth every mile of the drive. This restaurant is a true gem, and the staff makes it even better. We’ll definitely be back!
