This local restaurant is pleasantly surprising, Ive attended here a few times and the first time i thought it looked a bit sketchy and old but i was surprised to find out this traditional restaurant serves very delicious cuban food , the service is great and the price is even better. I would definitely recommend it, the only minor detail is that they only accept cash.
