This small haven, which was refurbished into a bigger, better space after a fire, serves a large variety of excellent Cuban food, including a restorative chicken soup, a classic Cuban sub, superb rice and beans (opt for the red beans over the black), and sweet "tropical shakes." The tostones (twice-fried plantains) are beloved during cold New England winters by the city's many Cuban transplants. Breakfast also served.

The best Cuban restaurant in Boston, and a solid choice in Jamaica Plain. Excellent food, though service can be spotty. Place no longer looks like a glorified soup kitchen since remodeling after a disastrous fire, very pleasant inside.

I LOVE this place. If you like good Spanish food this is a MUST try. Its not terribly fancy or chic at all, but the service is always friendly and fast even if they are packed. Everything on the menu is to die for...
