The one who suggested this restaurant told the other right upfront that it's the best for this area of North Carolina and it is not Cuban food of Miami. The restaurant was busy, and of course tables are limited because of its size, but the owners were very accommodating and we appreciate that very much There is a back parking lot with three spaces, but they are for pick up only but we were given permission to use one as we had a handicap individual with us. My Cuban sandwich was just fine and tasted just like the one I had in Miami in my opinion as a gringo and everyone finished their meal without sending anything back so I would say the food was pretty good The restaurant is a order at the counter and staff will deliver it to your table. There is one unisex bathroom for All and I'm not sure about everyone else but of course our service dog was allowed. I did see two other dogs so I can only assume that pets are allowed as those two were not marked as service animals at all. I cannot think of anything that would cause me not to give this Restaurant a full five star rating

Their menu consists if whatever they cooked up that day and they post on FB as soon as they open up. Today I saw they had a jerk egg salad sandwich and a guacamole side so I made sure to show up for that. Of course the portion sizes are HUGE. You know you are being fed by someone who likes to eat when you get this much food. When I first took a bite of the guacamole, I almost fainted. It was seriously that good. I was excited to be able to get some non-meat items so I hope they continue that. I do often crave Caribbean flavors and this is some of the best I have tried. I would love to be able to get a chickpea curry. Yum!

It was a bit too hot to sit outside on the deck overlooking the lake, but I will definitely make that a priority next time! I would recommend this spot to anyone. I tried the arroz con pollo with a side of plantains, and had a Paloma for my cocktail! The food was delicious but I think it would try a different drink next time. I like that they don't make the drinks too sweet I think I was hoping for just a little more punch of lime! Gorgeous presentation on food and drinks. The service was also very strong, we never had to ask for refills on our waters, it was very consistent from multiple waiters. And our food came out super quickly - we were a party of 9 and were there right at 6 and everything was so smooth and quick. One quick note- the restaurant knew we were celebrating a birthday because it was part of the reservation, but there wasn't anything special done like a complimentary dessert or them even saying "happy birthday!" This obviously isn't a huge deal but I think it's best practice that if you ask the guests if you're celebrating anything special you then... I don't know, provide a little something?? If not, then just don't ask I think. Will definitely be returning!

Overall, the atmosphere was lovely, the waitress was friendly and the food was good. Was it the most amazing Cuban food we've had? Absolutely not. The pork appetizer, Masitas de Cerdo, we had was the highlight. It was delicious. We were hoping it was a sign of good things to come. Unfortunately, the Vaca Frita my husband had he didn't like at all. There was a flavor to it that was almost like Cuban mixed with barbecue. I had the Mojito Chicken and it was good. Not amazing, but good flavor. My husband had some of my chicken because he thought the Vaca Frita was inedible. Now, I don't think it was that bad. However, his mom is Cuban so we have authentic Cuban food regularly, and none of these dishes tasted authentic. Expectations are everything, and had this been Cuban-Something fusion, maybe the outcome would be different. Having been to many excellent Cuban restaurants at home and while traveling, this one just didn't rank near the top. But the people next to us, with their bacon-wrapped dates and ceviche, loved this place, so maybe it was just us

We tried the ropa vieja (beef) and pernil (pork). I liked the pernil a lot better - the ropa, though their most popular entree, was a bit bland.
