We were looking for a place with live music and came across a trio acustico coming from a nearby restaurant. It was just what we were hoping to find. The atmosphere was relaxing, nice authentic decor and good food. Two of our orders were a little on the dry side, but the overall experience was great!

One of my favorite places in PDC. The vibes the live music playing real original salsa music with a cuban flavor in it. The staff is amazing, very fast and courteous. The only odd thing is having the bathroom outside of the place, but it is ok. The music band is amazing!!! If you really want to go dancing and having a great time, you gotta be there.

Great Cuban food and atmosphere. Visiting in August, so the air conditioning was a big plus.

They always have great music. The venue is small and the music is loud. Acoustics are marginal, lots of resonance. We didn’t eat here but I’m sure the food is good. Drinks are weak here. 2 drinks in and hardly affected. They measure 1.5 oz per drink if liquor, but it felt weaker than that. I could barely taste the gin in a gin and tonic.

Cuban restaurant and bar with an authentic feel and a great atmosphere. Tried the ceviche and cuban sandwich and they were both very good. They have live cuban music at night with customers often dancing to it. They stay open late which makes it a great option for a late bite on the way back to the hotel.

Great food!! Been here at least 4 times and will go again. It's popular so don't be shocked if you have a wait. But it will be worth it!

The atmosphere was good and the music was great! Other than that - the food was very basic, not that good and way overpriced. We took a meat dish that we didn’t even eat because it was not good at all. Also - we asked for water, the waiter came back with a small bottle that she opened before we noticed and then they charged almost 5 usd for this small bottle (outrageous price for this area) If you want to listen to good music and have a drink or two it’s a great place. Not for eating.

Went here on a whim. Was in the area. Just checking out the place. I thought what the heck hey let’s go have some Cuban food. Can I say delicious flavor for everything from the black beans on. My favorite part and I’m not kidding the chicken wings. If you go try these wings I’m telling you fall off the bone flavor. I don’t know what it is about Mexico but they make better chicken wings then the US does. Everywhere we went we had chicken wings I feel guilty for saying it but yes, we also had tacos, etc. but these wings are the best. Service was wonderful as well. Great smiles very attentive. Love the live music..
