  I just promised myself that I will never go to other cuban places but here. IT’S THAT GOOD. Cold mojito coffee strongly recommended.

  I've been here a few times and today was the last. My car is in the shop, so I decided to walk up the hill originally destined for Las Chicas. It was slightly drizzling and I noticed a few people in this place, which is why I decided to cut my walk short and go in, even though Las Chicas is on the opposite corner. It was nice to see some people in here. i was hoping this place would take a hold, which would be good for the neighborhood. The ordering process was painful. The girl behind the counter greeted me in Spanish, which I responded to in English. I was excited that I saw they had a Mochaccino Chocolate. She asked what size I'd like, small or large. Because the menu board showed Ideal or Grande, my response was ideal. She didn't understand, so I specified 12oz., also written on the board. She still had trouble understanding, but we were finally able to agree. I originally embarked on my journey seeking a breakfast sandwich. Their menu here was a little all over the place, but finally I spotted Juevo con Spinaca (Egg and Spinach) pastelo. I was so excited, especially cause I've been on veggie kick lately. Again, she didn't understand me. I pointed at the menu board and told her what I wanted. She told me she didn't have that! How disappointing. I settled for the Guava y Queso (Guava and Cheese) empanada. Again, she didn't know what I was asking for until I pointed to the menu board! Finally it was time to pay. $2.75 for the coffee, $1.50 for the empanada, and $0.28 NJ Sales tax (which I found out Christie reduced while getting rid of the estate tax and raising the gas tax) all totaled $5.17. If you do the math, you'll find out that the math was wrong. She handed me my Mochaccino and I sat down to wait for my empanada. By this time, the place was empty and one of the girls was playing around with the cook. Then they were talking together behind the counter. After a while, I thought, how long could it take to make an empanada? I'm assuming they weren't making it from scratch. So I went to the counter and asked. Clearly she was embarrassed and ran to the kitchen to look for the ticket, which she found, while the other girl decided to go to the empanada case and take out my Guava and Cheese empanada. The coffee was not hot and the empanada was barely above room temperature. The moral of the story, take the extra few steps and go to Las Chicas across the street. Better atmosphere and the girls there know what they're doing which is probably why they're busy all of the time.
