Cuban sandwich, better then Portos

Roasted chicken, not as strong taste as Versailles, not bad

Ox tail, tender, tasty

Arroz con pollo, their signature dish

Plantains, kids love this, even my picky one

Nice to venture out of OC on a beautiful Saturday.  Was planning to go to the Autry museum but end up eating here instead.  Our typical detour, always end up eating. 

Desert next door, Obama brownies

But is it better than Bella Cuba?

It's a different taste, Bella Cuba/Versailles is great if your looking for flavor that will kick in ur teeth.  This place is more subtle, but the chef has skills, chicken is roasted perfectly (sometimes Bella Cuba overcooks  it a little dry).  If ur ever in the area try this place out you won't be disappointed, bring some quarters for the meter.
