This was one of our favorite places during the entire trip. If you somehow get sick of eating Creole food and you're looking for a nice change, this is a great place to go. They make a great mojito, their soup is excellent and their empanadas are AMAZING. You could easily make a meal of a few empanadas and a soup here. This is an authentic cuban restaurant that would be comfortable in Miami or in NYC.
