“ Definitely a must stop if in the area. No one there spoke English but they tried very hard. Food was amazing! Best Cuban sandwich I’ve ever eaten. I don’t know the name of the shrimp dish I got but it was amazing too! (Photos attached)It had plantains, chorizo, peppers, onions, and pork skins. You spoon the mix into a soup and it was just so darn good and filling. And don’t forget to get a hand made milkshake. FYI they charge you for refills. ”
