Such a hidden gem, I'm so glad I found them ! The food is incredible, but the ceviche it's hands down the best I've ever had. I crave it every day! Honestly everything we have tried is amazing. The owners are warm, talented, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you're looking for a great food this is the place to go!

Menu

The food is excellent and reasonably priced, staff is friendly and very nice. I came on a rainy day so I couldn't eat the food here but taking it home didn't ruin the freshness or the quality. The Burger: The bottom bun of the burger did get a little soggy but I mean come on that only happens to food cooked extremely well. The patty tastes like it has a blend of chorizo and kinda like a frita and the sauces are an extra explosion of flavor followed by the sweetness of the maduros. I got it with the yuca fries which I've never had before and are really really good. They're crispy on the outside but super soft and fluffy on the inside. They pair the yuca fries with a side of cilantro sauce that's delicious. 10/10 Tostone Relleno: I wanted to try the pork tostones but my wife isn't a fan of pork so we got chicken instead and let me say I was not disappointed. The tostones were crispy and the chicken on top was nicely shredded with sauce and an Avacado. 8/10 If you're in the area looking for a food truck spot and it's too late to go to Sergio's or Casavana this is definitely a 9/10 spot to try. I have to try the rest of the menu to give it the 10/10 that i feel like it deserves but so far so great!

What a gem!!! We actually stumbled upon this by accident, best accident ever! We were at first discouraged by the location as it's in the middle of a trailer park, but decided to give it a go since we were there. Once you enter the premise of the food truck, you wouldn't even notice the area you are in. The food truck is in a secluded area and has a nice seating area with chickens roaming around the place. The food is some of the best Cuban food I've had. I had the Birria taco (lamb tacos with dip) and other people in my group had the fish tacos, plantains, Cuban burrito, conch fritters, and yuca fries. Everything was amazing, perfection I dare say as everything was stellar and no negatives, and made to order, which is why it took about 15-20 minutes for our food but was absolutely worth the wait. This place is newer and is opened by a husband and wife team. They were super nice and we had a good chat with the husband, Otto. Definitely check this place out, we would absolutely go back to try other things as they have an extensive menu and good variety!

Has a weird location but great food! The pork tostones were great, loved the sauce it came with on top! The chicken burrito was good as well I just personally didn't like the salsas that came with it.

I have heard so much around this place and I can confidently say it lives up to the hype!…read more Finding parking nearby is a bit tricky as it is only street parking and there's only outside dining available. The music selection is fire though and I was jamming out the whole time while waiting for my food. I complimented them on the music selection and they mentioned the owner is dominican and puerto rican which explained the great music selection. I was helped out by Adrian and his service was helpful in finding what dishes to order. I took my food to go and it was piping hot, definitely made fresh to order which I enjoyed. The nachos were what I was most eager to try as they are all the rage on social media. They lived up to the hype and that nacho cheese is absolute gold. I love that it's served in a pizza box. It just makes it iconic. It travels well and everything was still hot when I got home. The Al Pastor taco was just okay, nothing to write home about but now the steak burrito was really really good. I love that they don't have rice in their burritos and instead replace it with potatoes, which is absolutely delicious. They give two different types of salsas with your order plus limes and the green salsa is unreal. Add it to everything for a flavor boost! All in all this place is fire and if you're craving nachos, this is definitely the place you should come to get your fix!

Yesterday we stopped by here to get lunch to go. We did the online order on their app. We were…read moreexpecting to get the same quality and service we got 3 months ago (5 stars) but unfortunately that did not happen this visit. We are very disappointed that the chicken and steak burritos were not seasoned very well (bland) and both were so dry. I couldn't even taste any cheese in the chicken burrito either. I took a few bites and had to give the rest to our dogs. What a shame. My daughter couldn't finish her burrito either. I tasted her steak burrito and it didn't taste like any steak that I have ever tried. So disappointing. The guac and chips were good but they were like a little side dish. So, there went a wasted $50 for lunch. We were still hungry. Since it was a to-go order, we didn't feel like going back all that way again. It was a very hot day. Service was strange. I sat in the car but my daughter went up to the counter to pick up our order. She stood there for a long time in the hot sun and no one helped her. There was a bag sitting on the counter already. Finally when she was helped, the guy said that the bag sitting there was ours!! She was highly irritated fir the poor service. He should have checked to see if his customer was there to pick up the only bag on the counter. In retrospect, we should have tasted our burritos before driving home to taste them but we trusted them. Sorry to say, we won't be going back.

My dinner plans changed last minute due to the weather, which was heavily raining and decided on Lolita despite not having reservations. Upon arrival we were instructed to go upstairs where the very young and inexperienced host could not figure out the system and said sorry there was no availability to accommodate us. We left disappointed and while going downstairs I decided to pull uo their booking site to confirm availability. The system reflected several available time slots for dinner. Kudos to the downstairs host that accommodated us immediately once I showed her the system reflected availability. The servers were truly incredible downstairs and I appreciate the very attentive and charming service provided throughout the evening! I ordered a beet salad which was almost perfect but was lacking feta or goat cheese which I highly recommend they consider having in the kitchen. The oxtails tacos were delicious and very filing. I also enjoyed the brown dessert. Thank you for a yummy evening with fantastic service!
