Great Food - Consistently Poor Service

by owls93 at Citysearch

This is a regular stop for us when we're in the mood for great Cuban food and when we have time for a slow, long dinner. We always seated promptly, but have to always remind the waiter to bring us bread, refill drinks, bring the side of beans that accompany an entree, etc. The new location is a nice improvement, but doesn't make up for their other shortfalls. If they could improve their service this would be a 10, otherwise I think its a 7...

• Pros: Great Food, Nice decor, Good Value
• Cons: Poor, Slow Service

venture in for food not the service

by lj247 at Citysearch

The service is terrible. Don't expect to get out of there in an hour. On average, it takes approximately 15-20 minutes for your table to get greeted. We often have to ask more than once to get anything, whether it is a refill on drinks or more of that tasty garlic sauce.

I have seen one waiter in particular carry on a conversation with another waiter while holding a tables food in his hands for about 5 minutes. There doesnt seem to be any sense of urgency when it comes to getting food out to customers.

Dont ask for separate checks. Youll be told to go to the bar for that.

So, why do we continue to eat there? One reason...the food. The food is awesome! So, if you dont mind bad service, then I would recommend this place. Otherwise, you might have to order your food To Go.

• Pros: great food
• Cons: bad service

the sangrias are great, especially with good company. the food is authentic and delicious. i have brought my kids, but there are no "kids menus".... if your kids aren't fussy they will love the fresh bread & butter plus can share off your plate.

Horrible service

by lillybell25 at Citysearch

Although the food was quite good, the service made the entire experience unpleasant. We had a group of about 9 people for a birthday party and we must have sat 20 minutes before we were ever greeted by the waiter. Another 30 minutes before he ever took our order. He disappeared while we ate leaving our glasses empty throughout most of the meal. At the end, he refused to split the bill, or give us an itemized bill leaving us all to guess how much we each spent. But he was more than willing to add his 17% gratuity to the bill and make sure we paid it. The food was good, but not good enough that it is worth dealing with such horrible service and attitude from the waitstaff. None of our group will ever go back to this establishment again.

• Pros: decent food
• Cons: horrible service, not group friendly

tasty

by esybenedict at Citysearch

Great cuban food & delicious pitchers of sangria. The cuban sandwich and mariquitas (fried green plaintains w/ a garlic sauce) are my favorite!

• Pros: food, sangria, atmosphere

great value

by livie2 at Citysearch

Food was very good and reasonably priced. Decor very tasteful. Gets crowded but serving is quick. Need a few more waitstaff during the evening. Otherwise, get the black beans and rice mixed together rather than the separate dishes. Excellent.

• Pros: location, mixed beans and rice, parking
• Cons: service but not awful

Buena Comida - Si!!!

by piedraalan at Citysearch

This is a very low-key place, tastefully decorated and clearly run by people who care about the patrons. Service, though, can slip when they are crowded, and it helps to speak Spanish. The food is way more delicious than the the prices would suggest - great value.
