"Lidia’s Kitchen this was NOT! The food was mediocre and lacks the seasoning and flair the original owner had! Lídia cooked with gusto! 1-Ropa vieja was unsavory and lackluster 2-roasted chicken salty and soggy 3- lechón tasted like an old piggy in the blanket? Really sad version 4- tostones was the only redeeming dish The ambiance as per the new owner; is cafeteria style lighting! If you go out to dinner to sit under bright lights ; you might as well go to the local fast food chain! Truly a worn out and tired restaurant! A truly underwhelming experience! Too bad the restaurant continues to call itself “ Lidia’s” IT IS NOT! It’s over! Not going back ever! If I want Lidia’s real version of Cuban; I will drive down to the beach !"

Charming little restaurant. Food was really good, very flavorful, reasonable prices, and its BYOB They even offered to make a pitcher of sangria with the wine we brought.

I had the ropa vieja, which was very good, but my husband had ordered the paella cubana and it was missing scallops. We'll try something else next time. The waiter was excellent!

I don't often eat Cuban out because I'm Cuban and the food is often not very good. But Lidia's is very authentic. Every dish was perfect, delicious and authentic. Prices were fair, and the BYO policy is terrific. We really enjoyed the restaurant. View menu

Although the service was good, I can not recommend Lidia's. We ordered the snapper, pollo asado, ropa vieja, and churrasco. The best plate was the churrasco. Unfortunately, the rest of the dishes were bland. We also ordered a side of the fried yuca but it was disappointing.

I was able to easily make a reservation, which is not usually the case at this restaurant. The dining room felt crowded. We waited a long time for our appetizers, which were mistakenly given to another table. We asked for a replacement appetizer, but when it arrived, it was still incorrect. We had ordered 2 meat and 1 chicken empanada, but received cheese and spinach instead. However, when our main dishes arrived, everything was delicious. This was my second visit to the restaurant and I enjoyed it both times.
