I love their Cuban sandwiches here. They're so delicious I always get them for breakfasts and I always get my food really fast. The service here is really good and I love the atmosphere. It reminds cafés in Cuba.

I judge how much I like places that serve breakfast by their grits and these grits get 5 stars from me. They were not too runny or too firm and they actually season the grits, unlike many places. I ordered the breakfast platter that lets u choose your meat. I chose fish which comes with the option of tilapia or basa. I chose the basa, which could be fried a tiny bit harder but it was still very flavor and nonetheless. The platter also comes with toast and eggs. I also ordered cafe con leche, but what they have is actually just Cuban coffee with regular cream, not steamed milk. Still great coffee tho. The hours listed on Yelp are incorrect. They open at 6am and close at 4pm. Breakfast ends at 11am. Closed on Sundays. I will be back to try lunch soon.

Area is definitely sketch. Food was fast and super reasonable price. Lots of walk up and city workers eating there. So they do a decent amount of volume. Food was good. I had a breakfast sandwich on Cuban bread. Staff was friendly and hustling to handle the breakfast rush. Only 2 or 3 tables to eat inside. Most people grab their food and go.

Straight up good eats. I don't know, everyone in this place is like keeping a huge secret from us, the secret is they got some bomb food. The place itself is small with very few tables and the people behind the counter are working like a well-oiled machine. They serve fresh hot chicken wings and really good Cuban sandwiches. I had the steak sandwich. Those sandwiches were really good. The area is a little choppy but i would just get the sandwiches and go about my business. Prices are ultra reasonable and I would definitely go back. The breakfast looks so fresh.

I've heard a few people mention Abella's when discussing good sandwich shops in the area. Today I decided to give it a try and ordered the ham, egg and cheese on Cuban bread (via UberEats). I was pleasantly surprised at how good this breakfast sandwich was. The ham was delicious, the eggs were fluffy, and the cheese was melted goodness on fresh pressed Cuban bread. To make things even better, the price is extremely reasonable. Some places would charge twice as much for this quality sandwich. I definitely recommend you try it!

Food delicious, prices reasonable, and friendly customer service wins this establishment 4 stars in my book... The stray dogs, peddlers & run down location stole the last star but otherwise it was a great mom & pop!!!!
