Paladar: Reviews & Ratings
For a ghost kitchen this place isn'f half bad. Avoid the bowls and the salads, they're dry and lacking flavor. The burrito is out of this world when they do it right. I've had a burrito that blew my mind when the balance of lechon, ham, pickles, mustard, beans, and rice was there. The top 2 problems: 1) Consistency and 2) the beans... wtf are cuban black beans without flavor?? Season your beans! (I make a lot of cuban food so I know what it's supposed to taste like)
Purchased through doordash this cubano grilled cheese sandwich is on sourdough bread and is crazy good. It came with some good crinkled fries too.
I ordered the Lechon (Cuban Roast Pork) today while in Oakland and it was exactly what I was told it would be. The dish is very flavorful in a generous portion. I believe it's under new management so I absolutely recommend you give it a try. The photo was after my second bite. I ate THE -WHOLE- Thing!!!!!
