The latte was a perfect blend of coffee and frothy milk, sprinkled with cinnamon powder. The pastel de guava paired well with my latte. The bread was warm and soft, and the center was filled with the slightly sweet guava. I stopped in for an afternoon coffee. With it being my first time in, I walked in about 10 minutes to close. I try not to do drop in so close to closing time so I asked if it was okay that I order. The staff were welcoming and friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. The cafe has a nice selection of pasteles & breads, offering both savory and sweet options. It's a small cafe but a very cozy place to enjoy a coffee and a snack. With so many different choices, I cannot wait to go back.

Second, I left my ID in the car and in order to get inside, everybody must show an ID to the bouncer. I have to run back to the car and get it. The place was packed and with 3 groups of people before me, the food took 40 minutes to be ready. We got the eggplant croquette, cassava fries, sweet plantains and rice and beans with tofu and fried plantain. The croquette were AMAZING! Also, the garlic oil that comes with the fries is absolutely delicious. I wish they offered as a side condiment to add to the rice and beans. Since the rice, beans and tofu, don't have to much flavor. Maybe a little bit of that garlic oil on top of the tofu will make a difference. The portions are just enough for one person that don't eat a lot. The prices are right for the quality of food they offer. I didn't see any deserts on the menu, so I'm not sure if they offer them.

It's nice to get to experience diverse restaurants in Denver. Although this was Cuban food, there was a lot of other Latin inspirations on the menu as well. I got the old Cuban with less simple syrup. At first I thought it was too citrusy as I don't like sweet/sour drinks but after the first sip the prosecco and orange bitters paired so well together and it was refreshing. I also got the steak sandwich with chimichurri on the side. The shoestring fries are fun. It's all on the pricey end but it was a lot of food leftover so it's worth the price!

The menu is no fuss, to the ignorant it may be confusing but if you go in with a curious heart, ready to ask the staff questions, you're in for a treat. Based on our servers recommendation, I got the Puerco Frito, and WOW. Every bite was light and flavorful. I've been told that you really can't go wrong with any of the menu items, and based on what I tried, I have to agree with that sentiment. If you are lucky, they'll seat you in this massive room with one wall that's just windows, which makes for an even more relaxing dining experience. Give this place a try!

2 out of 5 stars "Had high hopes, but the flavor just didn't…read morefollow through." The Jerk Pit Smokehouse definitely gives off that classic hole-in-the-wall vibe that foodies like us live for. It's tucked into a very nice part of Denver, surrounded by other restaurants, with people strolling and enjoying the neighborhood. The outdoor seating was actually a highlight--great atmosphere for soaking in the city while waiting on food. Inside, it's a cozy little spot, probably seats about 30 max, and has that smokehouse/jerk shack energy going for it. We were a party of five, and since we travel to eat, we always do family-style and sample a wide range of menu items. Here's what stood out (and what didn't): * Catfish Nuggets: The best thing we had--crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. * Jerk Wings (flats): Solid flavor and texture. Unfortunately, the small drumsticks were dry and overcooked. * BBQ Rib Tips: Good smoky taste, but they weren't as tender as we hoped. * Fried Okra: Cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, not a trace of sliminess. Definitely appreciated this one! * Fried Pickles: Crunchy but lacked a flavor punch. * Smoked Brisket Chili: Disappointing--missing depth and any memorable flavor. * Mac & Cheese: Just okay. Needed more creaminess or seasoning to shine. * Chicken Wrap, Chicken Tenders & Fries: Tenders were overcooked and dry, and the wrap didn't stand out. Overall, the menu didn't deliver that "we've got to come back" experience we look for on our foodie adventures. There wasn't a standout dish that wowed us or made us want to tell our friends to try it. We also overheard what sounded like the chef in the back expressing frustration. Could've been an off day, but it felt like that tension showed up in the food. Sometimes you can taste when the kitchen isn't quite in harmony. This spot has potential, and the location really sets a nice scene, but for us, it missed the mark. Nothing was terrible, but nothing made us want more. Just didn't have that "wow" factor we look for when we eat our way through a new city.
