I cannot tell you if it is authentic Cuban food or not since I am not Cuban,but after eating so much Cuban food for a year in the Mecca of Cuban food in the country (Miami) I believe my review could be a helpful. I went here with a Groupon and wanted to give this place a try, third place trying Cuban food outside of Miami, I hoped this place wouldn't disappoint me like the others. I went with a friend who also had Cuban food in Miami before and also had high expectations. As I walked in, I saw (and heard!) a big group of Cuban people having lunch there (if Cubans eat there, that's a good sign!). The people there were friendly and we got sat down right away. I was very happy with the menu and was happy to find many of my favorites in there (tostones, yuca frita, ropa vieja, vaca drita, palomilla, cubano, etc). I went ahead and ordered yuca frita as an appetizer and ropa vieja with congris (arroz moro) and maduros. I was disappointed that the yuca frita came with refried beans type of sauce instead of cilantro garlic sauce, like it does in many Cuban restaurants. The yuca fritas were too fried, too hard. The ropa vieja was good, although a little too hard. The congris did not have a lot of flavor but I was satisfied anyway. Overall, it was a good place. Close to what I would consider authentic from Miami. I will definitely come back because I am sure this is as authentic as it will ever get in a town with a very very small Cuban population.

Sooo disappointed! After all the glowing reviews about the good and the service, we were really excited to eat there. We went in between 4 and 4:30 and there were no other diners there. The server took our order and then she and the cook just hung around the front counter---he on his phone most of the time. There seemed to be no action going on in the kitchen at all. We ordered the dolmades for an appetizer and they were very good but tiny and overpriced at 5 for $6.95. Then we waited and waited---still no action in the kitchen. The server never checked on us. Finally, the meal appeared (we are still the only diners In the place ). My daughters chicken kabob was so dry that she had to ask for some yogurt to dip it in and my little meat patties were so hard that I could hardly cut them. Right before we were served we heard a timer go off, so considering the lack of action in the kitchen and the condition of the meat and chicken, I think they must have just reheated the entree. The rest of the plate consisted of plain white rice and some garden salad greens with a basic vinaigrette dressing. The server never came back after we were served. When She brought the checkmentioned to her how dry the chicken was, she said--'oh, really?' This was around $40.00 with tip and we left extremely unsatisfied. Not worth the calories or the money. Its hard to believe that we were in the same place with all the rave reviews about the food and service.Thank you for your reply. Evidently our experience was not the average because the reason we visited Troy was because of the good reviews. Thats why we were so surprised and disappointed by the unappetizing food and poor service. I accept your explanation that the meat and chicken were cooked to order but, still, the chicken was extremely dry and the little meat patties were hard and tough. There were no other diners in the place except us, so the service should have been excellent. Sorry, but thats just the way it was.

If you have driven past this place several times, you have missed a great opportunity for Costa Rican food those same several times. The food is good, fresh, and it feels homemade. Check it out, and make sure to try things that are from Costa Rica, not just your comfortable Mexican fare. Family-run, small location, super tasty.
