“ Delicious Congri. The rice is grainy and packed with flavor. Delicious Rabo Encendido. Empanadas were on point. Best Cuban Sandwich I've had in Houston. The Ropa Vieja was so good I ordered another one to go. Next level. Food quality and flavor comparable to the best in Miami. These guys know what they're doing and they cook with love ”

“ So I haven't been in this side of town for awhile, but something caught me eye Si es Negra,,lets support a local business! I had sides to try it out and now the smile in my face confirms it. Yumm yumm ,, the congrí(white rice w black beans mixed) is awesome sauce and of course the yucca and arroz con leche. Sooo if you want something to "hit the spot" then check it out.
