The only thing missing for me is the hot sauce which is easily added. This is a solid plate of food and on point for other Cuban restaurants I've been to. My wife ordered the Cuban sandwich. It has just the right ration of meat to cheese to bread and was perfectly pressed. If you're looking for a solid Cuban restaurant experience, this is your place!

When you enter the gas station store turn right, walk ahead and you'll end up at the counter for Belkis. Fast, super friendly service. Great portion size and prices. Exceptional food! No contest the BEST cuban sandwich I have ever had. Exemplary meat/filling to bread ratio. The bread was fresh and perfectly crisp with garlic (I'm pretty certain) grilled onto the outside of it. The meat was tender and not at all greasy. There was the perfect amount of ham to pork to cheese to pickles to mustard. All around there was not a single thing I did not love about my cuban! I also got a very large portion of plantains. They were hot and cooked to the best texture. The Cuban and the plantains cost me $22 and supplied me with two and a half meals.

She was very friendly and made it fresh in front of you. The smell of roasted garlic when she is making it makes you so ready to dig in. The sandwich was also huge and well worth the $15 price. Only thing I'd say is I was in need of a little more spice or hot sauce, which is more on me than her. Definitely coming back

Some things to be aware of, they increase the price of each item if paying by credit card and then tax on top of that new total. Paying is done by a handheld device brought by the server with tip amounts starting at 20% and going up to just under 30%. Servers are very nice, but this may keep me from returning.
