provisions.

What would people expect when they walk in here?

Because it's very surprising, right?

Yes.

It's actually a place in a very busy street in little Havana.

So you will never expect a restaurant like this in the middle of the traffic in Little Havana.

Like a hidden Oasis almost right?

Yes.

So when you first come into the restaurant, it's very small, maybe not impressive but when you go to the outdoor area, you're in an island.

It's almost like a Caribbean feeling.

You're agreeing with her?

Yeah.

Yeah.

A lot of green plants and very lighting flair.

My friends thought that they said they felt like they were on vacation somewhere on a tropical island.

Wow.

The patio has cool reggae music and big plants and we had a very nice breezy night.

I thought so too.

And when I got there, the storefront had a tiny little sign and it looked like a grocery store.

And I go inside with my wife and I said, I had a reservation.

It's a good thing there's like two tables and an open kitchen, and she takes us on this trail to go to the back, and the back was fabulous.

So let's jump into the food, shall we?

So tell me what you had this last time.

I had a margarita, but it was not really a margarita.

They used something else because it wasn't really a hundred percent alcohol.

They basically are a beer So it's a mocktail.

or wine.

Oh.

But they call it Margarita.

Okay.

Yep, I get that.

They was good, it was different different cocktails.

And we order the Birrias de Res Quesatacos.

which is basically almost like a taco filled with ropa vieja and almost toasted.

You wanna tell them what ropa vieja is?

Not everybody knows what rapa vieja is, sorry.

Ropa vieja is shredded meat, Cuban shreaded meat.

Cooked until there's nothing almost.

Exactly the juices that you get out of ropa vieja are to die for.

And in this little taco toasted and the portion was so generous that, that can be your main dish easily.

What else did you have?

I had the Mahi-mahi with the jasmine rice and it had like jello Aji Amarillo Sauce on top.

My boyfriend order Masa de Puerco.

It's almost like a Chinese rice with fried pork and a little bit of heat that also had like fried Brussels sprouts.

Delicious.

And it was so ama, I mean, we were so satisfied.
