This is a place that I love.--though, honestly, I have to say that even though the food isn't bad, it isn't excellent, either. They serve tamales with rice and beans with a salad, or samosas...A few other things. The entrees are small-portioned, and they recently raised the prices on the meals from around $7.50 to $9.50, which makes going here for dinner barely worth it.
The sangria and deserts are really good, though. If you like kitsch (and I do!), it's all over the walls, kind of like my room, but much worse (/better?). The folks that own this place are super cool, too. This was an excellent place to take my new friend, Brenda, because she has a thing for Cuban men and the art covering the walls tied in great with her reminiscence about her time in Greenwich Village or when she was in France performing for Salvador Dali.
Anyway, as I said, I love this place, but it isn't for everyone. Take a step inside sometime and see if you feel like sticking around, or if you feel like screaming and ripping everything off the walls. If you do stay get the sangria or rice pudding and you'll be so happy!
They're open 7:30 till midnight all week, but closed on Tuesday and Sunday.
