The Tinga Torta ($6.25) is the best sandwich you'll ever sink your teeth into. Rotisserie shredded chicken in chipotle sauce . The whole thing is just tender, flavorful, and bursting with goodness.
I thought the standard Cuban Sandwich was prepared to perfection. Good proportions, very fresh ingredients , beautifully wrapped. Nice job!!
Their tacos are awesome! My fave is the Cuban Taco . Other popular ones are: El Rey Taco , Ropa Vieja Taco and Rotisserie Chicken Taco . Lemonade is made fresh and horchata is really good!
The Summer Special is really good. 3 shrimp tacos with mango , avocado , and cilantro and a cup of black beans .
The best Cuban fast food in town . Try and Cuban coffee and a Cuban sandwich . Breakfast tacos are also solid.
My favorite taco place ! The beef Cuban taco on flour tortilla is fantastic. Also has tasty tortilla soup .
El Rey is a terrific Cuban/Mexican restaurant masquerading as a fast-food joint. Read more
Get the fish tacos . Do it. Also, splurge a little on the Ropa Viejo Taco and a horchata to wash it all down.

Shrimp tempura taco and Cuban taco are the bomb dot com!
I recommend the torta diablo . All tacos are great esp. Ropa vieja . And anything with their fresh rotisserie chicken
The Cuban sandwiches are to die for
Ropa vieja plate is delicious! 3 amigos plate is good to try different tacos
Good breakfast , tortas , rotisserie chicken , coffee . The drive-through has terrible accuracy, so double-check your order.
The ropa vieja plate is my favorite! Even my Cuban mother approves!
The ceviche is fantastic
the place is a little overrated, but the Spanish rice is actually to die for
Great tacos and fast friendly service
Their cilantro dressing is awesome with so many things!
Unimpressive. The Cuban sandwich looked and tasted like a grilled ham and cheese . Excellent guacamole .

Who knew a Cuban taco place could have some of the best coffee in town ?
Their specialty sandwiches and "tortas " are authentic and delicious. Great place for a quick and filling meal.
4sq tipsters are awesome. Had the grilled fish and shrimp tacos as well as the shredded beef . Wow!! The mango pie is good but overrated.
When here for breakfast , nothing beats a #6 on whole wheat with egg whites for guilt free mexican food . For lunch , a cuban taco with chicken is tops.
Love this place! Tacos carnitas , yum!
10 minute wait behind 1 car for 2 breakfast tacos . Only filled my large drink up to half what the heck is going on here?
Obsession is the beef taco ! So yum

The breakfast is great
The canteloupe juice is tasty!
Taco Tuesday is awesome
The tortilla soup is the best thing ever.
Canteloupe agua fresca , tacos al pastor and carnitas with guac and sourcream ... yup.
Meh! We must have gotten the wrong thing. Cuban sandwiches are supposed to be more than grilled cheese with ham . Maybe stick with tacos ?
Taco al Pastor on flour is what you're here for. 7 or 8 ought to do the trick.
Awesome veggie taco ! Lots of flavorful, peppered veggies and sautéed onions .
Try the tacos carnitas and the horchata !
Three Amigos is delicious
Taco pastor is goooood
Don't judge a book by its cover. This place has very good food, legit. Try it!
Love this place but the mango pie is in NO way omg per previous tip.
Try the rotisserie chicken tacos !
The iced mochas are addicting!! You've been warned!!
Grilled shrimp tacos are a MUST :)
I love their silverware dispenser
Love, love this place. The gazpacho soup is a cold soup - great for summer. Order the ahi tuna salad. The service is impeccable and Pedro, the owner, is also a wonderful sommelier. - Jenn
If you love the consistency of creme brûlée you'll love their flan. It's a creamy explosion of flavor! - John Sanchez
Incredible cuban food. Chicken fricasse and oxtail ate wonderful - Melissa Thames
