Authentic Cuban flavor, great atmosphere, and great service. A casual, and even a romantic dinner seasoned with a mojito worth the driving from Charlotte. We just moved From Florida and as Cubans, we were craving for authentic Caribbean flavor. The quality of this place, the service attitude of every employee is amazing! Go to enjoy this hiding Pearl from Cuba and if you are lucky, you’ll enjoy live music as well. Thumbs up to lechón asado, yuca and croquetas. Please ask barista not adding chocolate syrup as decoration to the cortadito, I was expecting a real cuban coffee and I got an overpriced

First time visiting. A little ard to find from the outside but its inside Union sq bldg on lobby level towards the back. Gives off a very Cuban warm inviting vibe. Nice decor and great salsa music playing in background. Tried the wht rice blk beans and churrasco with maduros (sweet plantains) Coming from up North i'd say the meat tasted more like marinated steak w cooked onions and the beans could be a little more softer. I also enjoyed a Havana Blue drink-delicious 😋 Over all i would RECOMMEND.

WHEW What a long drive but its totally worth it ! Their dishes just slap. All of our dishes were the right size portions and seasoning. We celebrated my sister's birthday and they catered to her so well. They had a live band near their bar so we danced the night away with our tummies well satisfied. Totally worth checking out!

One of my favorites latin restaurants and definitely my favorite Cuban restaurant in the Carolinas. As soon as you step into this place is like you are a bit back in time in Cuba with their colorful and unique decoration. The service is excellent and they have a variety of cocktails and drinks that are simply delicious. The food is not only well decorated making it visually elegant, but it taste out of this world. They brought they taste of the Caribbean to the Concord area and that is something we should all appreciate and support.

Went for a friends birthday party. Had a fairly large group and they were very accommodating. The menu was extensive, but not overwhelming. Lots of great options at reasonable prices. Plantains were delicious although you dont get a lot in an order. The rice and bean mixture had an odd earthy taste. I had shredded beef mixed with onions and crisped on the grill. Delicious. Staff was friendly.

This place is worth the 1 1/2 hr drive!We ordered the two samplers. Now we know exactly what we want when we go back. This food was exceptional! The tamale was the best we've had. The pulled pork, there are no words, so delicious! The staff was very friendly. The only thing I didn't like was there are no prices listed. I told my family that I want to go back for my birthday. Not sure I can wait until May.

This place is simply wonderful. From the moment you walk in you feel you travelled. Food, drinks, coffee, music, decorations, everything takes you to Cuba.
This is a jewel. Whether you are passing by or living in Concord, you can't miss this place. I have been looking for an authentic Latino meal for a while and I found it right here!
