Don't bother
I ordered the Chicharron De Pollo which tasted like chicken fingers from my Junior High cafeteria days. I also ordered the arroz con pollo which contained mostly greasy rice with a few pieces of dry chicken and that's it. No peppers, olives, etc. I didn't have high expectations but I just couldn't believe how bad the food was.

Pure attitude
This place was formerly called Habana Chelsea and it was a dive with great food and no pretensions. It changed hands. Now, waitresses tell you where not to sit and what not to eat. I was just there with my mate. It was half empty but I was refused a comfortable table because it was for four people and we were only two. On weekends I have been told by the same female not to eat fried food because the oil is old and rancid. Other times, I have had good service and the food has been edible. I will not go back or recommend it to my friends. There are other places I can go for Latino food.

great!
We just moved in the neighborhood last week and we decided to give this place a try.It was noon time and the place was hopping.I just had to try the roast pork and yellow rice.My friend had the pork ribs with yucca fries.We were served quickly and not rushed.The food was really,really good.And you can t beat the price! The place looks just like Cuba and the food to match.{ I was in Cuba this past summer for two weeks.Im not sure if I should mention that } I hope I don t get menupages in trouble.

real cuban
My friend and I passed by this store front diner and just had to try it.The Cuban music was playing in the back ground.I ordered the ropa vieja and my freind had the roast pork ribs,both were outstanding.The service was fun.The waitress spoke to us in broken english and we had a very good time.We had a full meal for less then $20. bucks.

Not Good
Stopped in for a cheap dinner. Ignored by the waitress and had to ask 4 times for water. Had to ask twice for the check. Beef was bland, just a plateful of stringy over-cooked meat with no taste. Plate of yellow rice and black beans likewise tasteless. The Sprite was great.

Great coffee
I've never eaten here, but I stop in for cuban style coffee and it's great, and cheap. Nice people too...

One to avoid
Went here with friends for lunch last week. We didn't expect a super fast dining experience (though this is a diner), but was disappointed our food took 20 minutes to get during a less than crowded lunch hour. The food was not worth the wait. While the black beans and yellow rice were tasty, the roast pork was tough, flecked with small pieces of burned garlic, and not at all what roast pork should smell, look, or taste like! The waitress was nice but could not remember other items in our order, and forgot the lunch entree of a woman sitting at the table next to us. The interior is cute, but I would never in good conscience recommend this place to anyone.
