Have you had our Camarones Enchilados? Jumbo shrimp hand peeled and bathed in a savory tomato based Cuban sofrito (onions, garlic, green peppers + culantro) sauce. Not to be confused with Mexican Enchiladas, both delicious but both very different dishes. If you haven’t had a chance to try it, we’ve got it available for Dine-in, Takeout and Delivery.

Are you a fan of our Ybor City style Cubano Sandwich? Exec Chef Faustino puts in the work EVERY SINGLE DAY. The pork loin is marinated and roasted in house for each sandwich just for you.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month. It’s fall and the perfect time to celebrate one of Cuba’s national dishes - Ropa Vieja. It’s a comforting stew-like dish typically made of braised shredded beef in an aromatic tomato, onion and peppers based broth often served with white rice. A popular dish and eaten around the world in Spain, Puerto Rico and even as far as the Philippines. A recipe for it was recently highlighted by @NYTcooking writer @kenjilopezalt. If you’re not up for making your own - Ropa has been a staple on our menu since day one. https://bit.ly/2XEHf9W

Our Barrio Chino Chicken Wings pays homage to the long history of Chinese diaspora that settled in Cuba starting in 1847. They were brought over to work the sugar cane fields and many settled in and around Barrio Chino de La Habana, the Chinatown in Havana, creating one of the oldest and largest in Latin America. Before fusion cuisine became a trend, Chinese cooking techniques and flavors were naturally incorporated into the Cuban culinary scene which are still present today. https://bit.ly/2XEHf9W
