   Our server Louis was great! We went for brunch; the menu was limited but we really enjoyed the nachos. I would go back again.

   Food was incredibly meh. It’s OKAY. Way too expensive for what it is. Lacking flavor. The best thing that hit the table all night were the sauces that come alongside a few of the apps. Atmosphere is fun and semi-chaotic. Our server was very nice, but we sat with dirty dishes on our table for way too long in between courses. Not worth the money. Would be fun to go for just drinks at the bar!! But not food. Have had much better Cuban food elsewhere.

   Excellent food, better than average service, average surroundings, way too noisy (over-amped band, but probably expected by some)

    We went as a family for Mother’s Day and it was very nice! The live band is fun, but can be very loud at times. The service was slow and our appetizers never came out. But moving here from Miami the food was authentic and delicious!

    The waiter needs improvement on his customer service. Very minimal communication, it was like pulling teeth. The ambience and environment was very nice and welcoming.

    Our first time dining there and the food was fantastic. Generally liked everything we had. Our service was spotty - difficulty communicating with the waitress, entrees came out minutes after appetizers were served, etc. Manager addressed it, made it work and was very pleasant. Will absolutely return - better prepared to manage the pace by not ordering apps and entrees at the same time. Empanadas were best I've had!!

    The food was clearly pre-made (half chicken, rice and beans, and fish were all severely over cooked). My pregnant wife ordered a mock tail and they brought her a drink with alcohol in it (luckily she realized it after one sip)… Keep in mind that we ordered a virgin pina colada and told the server that she was pregnant. It seemed to us that there was a language barrier after bringing the issue to our servers attention. That experience ruined the evening. The server apologized and brought out the correct drink, but it was too late. The decor and ambience were very appealing, but the pre made taste of the food and the issue with our drinks couldn’t revive the experience. We won’t be returning or recommending this one; which is unfortunate because it has real potential.

    Live music is a nice touch. But they were too loud. Impossible to talk and hear over the music. We asked to be outside and they lied and said they had a big party coming. No large party came while we were there. Disappointing. Would recommend sharing a few appetizers and two entrees per 4 people. Food is heavy and startch focused. They really need some green vegetable sides. Salads are $18, so not a viable first course.

    Servicio? Fenomenal ambiente? excepcional Comida? Muy muy buena Valor de la comida? Para ciertos platos, apropiado- las entradas tienen un buen precio, por ejemplo, pero los platos principales son muy caros. $30 para la ropa vieja fue demasiado. Les súper recomiendo “bolitas de la vecina” Fueron increíbles y quiero hacérmelas en casa pero no creo que sea posible!!

    Amazing, we will definitely be back. The live music was fun and energetic, however it can be a bit loud if you are close to the stage. The food portions were large and flavorful, there were 4 in our group and we tried lots of apps and main courses. We look forward to our next visit.

    This place is a hidden gem in Charlotte--a little out of the center of action, you'd never know to expect such an experience. Upon entering the restaurant, you're transported to an upscale, lively Cuban lounge with music, decor, and great food to fit the theme. Even patio seating doesn't feel like you're in a strip mall on South Blvd. Will be going back here again and again! There were a couple tables with kids, but generally speaking I wouldn't recommend it for families with younger kids in tow. The noise level is also pretty heavy, so it's not a place to have a quiet conversation.
