"This isn’t a huge location with a very small entryway."
"It gets very busy around 6:30pm... Then it goes to a 3 because it feels like they forgot about you."

Cons:
"I just wish it was a little less expensive and they had a little more seating, sometimes there’s a wait."
"Way over price for non spectacular food."
"The portions for a Cuban place and the prices they’re charging is way too high."
"Price point-wise, the pancakes ARE on the expensive side, but they're literally some of the best I've tasted so it's hard to ding them too much on that."
"Total bill with tip was $120!!! That's crazy pricing considering one of us ordered a Cuban sandwich."
"A small glass of orange juice for $6?"
"The HIGH $$$$ you pay- the portion was not even close to justify what they charge you for."
