Chante and Erica were amazing! We had the treat of experiencing the cooking of Miss Toya herself and the food was AMAZING! I haven’t had a meal like that outside in a loooooong time! The music was fantastic.. all of the old school jammy jams. We were rocking. The food portions were huge. I had the fried chicken, Mac n cheese, greens, and corn bread. The deviled eggs for appetizer. Just so delicious. I cant wait to return.

The food was excellent! Service was good however the music is extremely loud. I’m not sure if it’s because we were sitting right by the speaker or if there’s only one or two speakers in the restaurant, but we were at a table of six and could barely have conversations with each other. I would recommend it turning the volume down just a little bit so that people don’t have to yell at each other.

Great service and the food is do good. I truly enjoy bringing friends to Cuba de Ayer. The Boliche was tender and tasty. And the Ropa Vieja was truly authentic. The pernil was so tasty that the seasoning can truly come through every bite. Looking forward to my next visit.
