What can we say except that this spot is a gem within so many other restaurants. To begin, the parking is fairly easy to find, we recommend the street parking and not the train station parking. The location, "very Cuban", lol. My wife is Cuban and can vouche for the sense of authenticity within the restaurant and its exterior design. The host, usually the owner or manager and both were pleasant to speak with. To start, the waiter was very professional, patient, kind and paid attention to detail. The water (was warm so not a good look). The bread, was not the best as it was sorta cheap BUT the butter was delicious. Appetizers - the "Cuba to Westfield" was very filling and worth it for a table of 5 but be warned, it was very filling and flavorful, lol. If you want to get a non-alcoholic drink, get the Materva, which tastes very similiar to the "Colombiana" drink. The Bistec de Palomilla was a bit too grey for my liking and lacked flavor vs other restaurants (Colombian as an example) that pack a punch of flavor. The Ropa Vieja was delivious and worth every penny. The Salmon a la Plancha was amazing and fresh. Overall, the food was good and I would come back BUT there is this ONE thing bothering me and it is this "Operating Fee" that I was not made aware of and that we noticed after we got home. That should have been disclosed prior to making payment but it was not. Overall, I recommend this place if you like a good time, a loud crowd, great management and overall and experience out of the boat!
The food atmosphere and service was top notch. We started off with the Cuba 🇨🇺 to Westfield and it was delicious. The sausage was very tasty and the yuca was outstanding. The Lechon was very good. For dessert we kept it simple and ate a churrro and my youngest son enjoyed it. Also the Bistec De Pollo was great.

Genuinely amazing Cuban food I wish I could inject the flavors in my bloodstream. Haha but all jokes aside, this is definitely an authentic Cuban restaurant, I am Cuban myself the flavors are absolutely parallel to my Abuela’s cooking. I had Macitas de Puerco (Pork Cubes) & Lechon Asado (Roast Pork) and it was AMAZING!!. I came with my mother and we also ordered Chorizo al Vino as an appetizer as well. Our food had lerfectly moist congri, perfectly cooked platano maduro, tostones, and yuca con mojo as well. My mother had Shrinp in a Creole sauce that was soooo good as well! For dessert we had coffee & Guava Cheese empanadas. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUSSSS i cannot stress that enough!! (see pictures attatched) The managers & staff are so sweet and personable and willing to make conversation as well! This restaurant gives you a true Cuban experience full of amazing food, hospitality, and comfort. It may be a tad pricey but good food is worth it. We went around 3:45pm. Definitely pay a visit and possibly become a regular 🫶🏻

Food was very tasty. I had the Vaca frita and my husband had the empanizado. The vaca frita was delicious and I would without question order it again. The empanizado was good but very greasy which caused it to become soggy. We shared the papa rellenos for an app and they were delicious, but the meat in the center was still cold. The rice and beans are to die for… I’m Cuban and it’s hard to find beans that taste similar to my grandmothers - and these are pretty close! The tostones were huge and very crispy. The flaked salt on top was a nice touch. Over all, the food was good. We would return, but it is very very small inside

This is one of the best Spanish restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. The atmosphere was accompanied by great salsa, and intentional servicing. The food was superb! Specially the empanadas de carne, salmon, and pernil were the standouts. There was literally not a bad meal choice here from any of what we had. I would highly recommend this establishment.
