Having lived in Miami for 4 years, I was seriously missing Cuban food up here in Boston. So I got a Zipcar and drove out to Jamaica Plains to give this place a whirl. I the following for take-out: mamey shake, cafe con leche, ropa vieja with plantanos maduros. The mamey shake was so tasty and had me very anxious to get home and try the rest. The cafe con leche tasted good but was a bit watery for some reason. The ropa vieja was good but definitely doesn't compare to what you can find in Miami. The rice was just buttery enough, and I can't comment on the beans because I don't normally eat them. The plantanos maduros were not so tasty. I think they had been sitting under a warmer. They weren't very plump and ripe, not sweet and juicy at all. Overall, I enjoyed the food, especially for the price. I chatted with the owner while waiting and found him to be very friendly. He told me that they would be starting delivery tomorrow (April 7, 2008) for the hours of 11-6. I will definitely call in or stop by to try their Cuban sandwich, which the owner says is the best in Boston. He also said that he makes the ham himself.
Pros: very friendly owner, great mamey frappe, flavorful ropa vieja, fast and cheap
Cons: cafe con leche was a bit watery

I love Miami, this place is great... i get the Bistek plate everytime i go, its so good i cant bring myself to try anything else. The beans are the best i've had and you cant beat the price! The only con i can come up with is sometimes its hard to relay to the staff what you're ordering unless you speak spanish, which i dont, but they are very patient about it. Theres not a lot of seating available on weekends either. But well worth the wait. I swear if i ever get married they will cater the reception!
Pros: Value, quality of food, casual, location
Cons: Parking, seating, language barrier
