Fun little restaurant with amazing food! Highly recommend

This place is a Cuban fusion place, and let me tell you it's legit. I have been to a lot of really good Cuban restaurants in L.A., and this place is on par with them. Really good food. I'm impressed. The sauces, the flavors, and the most exquisite peanut Horchata I have ever had. I also recommend the "carneada" big plate of finger food to share amongst 2 people. Well hidden gem.
