"The food was great! However, service was horrible. They forgot our drink orders and 3 different people returned to the table 4 different times to take the same order. Then they confused our drink order with another table. When we finally got our drinks, after about 30 minutes at the end of our meal, they blamed the bar for the delay. However, the bar was nowhere near busy and the bartender at one point was just standing doing nothing as we waited. The drinks were good, not worth the wait. When we ordered to dessert we had to ask for cutlery twice. They dropped the dessert off and 10 minutes after it had been obvious they had no intentions of giving us cutlery. When we asked the first time, a person (who wasn’t our server) came back 5 minutes later and stated “Oh I forgot”. Then offered us a round of shots which never came. We weren’t upset about the shots not coming because at this point we wanted to leave. When we left, we paid in cash and headed out. The server chased us down the block, yelling, “HEY”. When we finally realized someone was speaking to us we stopped and turned around, she asked us if we paid. We said that we had and left it all in cash on the table. She stated “Oh you left it at the table. Okay.” It’s obvious she did not even check the table decided to that chasing us down the block like we had dined and dashed was more appropriate. Overall, we are never going back to that restaurant."

"I didn't quite know what to expect, yet overall the food is excellent. Pre-pandemic, whenever I walked by this place, it was vibrant with an overflow of patrons, loud music, and lots of conviviality; a true Cuban atmosphere. It was a bit more subduedwhen I visited. Only the cafe portion was open yet I had ordered for pickup online. All went smoothly and I like theconvenience of paying in advance The order wasn't quite ready when I arrived at the designated time, but shortly thereafter. Also, the expected text alert that the order is ready arrived at 5:04am. A bit of a glitch. I ordered the following- JerkGrilled Chicken Wings: they were just OK, and didn't have the punch of spice I expect from Jerk Caribbean food. The side of bluecheese dressing was ordinary. The wings were cooked well and meaty. Bistec Encebollado: a ribeye steak that I ordered mediumrare. It was perfect, a nice cut and succulent. The potatoes and onions with it were great, tasty and cooked perfectly. A verygood dish. Empanada Pollo: the online menu only has beef but I saw another menu with chicken. I requested chicken and got it! The empanadas are large and full of meat and flavor. Some of the best I've had in the Bay Area. Comes with a nice cilantrosauce. Arroz Con Pollo Fricassee: absolutely delicious and a standout entree. The chicken is plentiful and falls off the bonetender. The rice was flavored and incredibly good. Tostones con Mojo: fried plantains that exude flavor and quite tasty. Theycome with a fresh and light dipping sauce. The consistency, however, was a bit too crunchy for my taste. Grilled Pan Cubano: Iwas curious about Cuban bread and it was fresh and large cuts that had indeed been grilled with a light spice rub. It isgood. New Havana Salad: very fresh and full of greens and special extras, like black beans, mango, tomato, slivers of manchego,and banana (plantains perhaps? The dressing was delicious and had a fruity taste. I just wish they would t"
