    Really great service and food. Music was too loud for us. But that was the only downside to our evening. Thank you!

    This is a long-standing restaurant institution on The Drive. They specialize in authentic Cuban food and they do it well. Service is always prompt and courteous. And the ambiance is lively and fun. Highly recommend this East Van gem.
