Reviews:

  • This sunny café surrounds diners with vibrant art, lively music, and loads of fun. Inspired by the cuisines of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean, the menu offers tropical dishes that bring customers back for more. The signature, ropa vieja, combines torn beef with onions, peppers, tomatoes, and plantains; its zesty flavor is quintessentially Cuban. You'll also find sizzling fajitas, a chunky seafood stew, and carnitas, a spicy dish made with pork and oranges. During happy hour, you can listen to the piano bar's live music while munching chips and salsa. A mariachi band serenades patrons during Sunday brunch.

  • The Banana Cafe is a trip. It's a tropical dining room that pulsates with lime green, tangerine and pink walls hung with paintings by the owner and local artists, with the doorway outlined in tiny lights. If for nothing else, it's become famous in the neighborhood for its margaritas. Much of the menu is made up of Tex-Mex staples - enchiladas, tacos, tamales, burritos, quesadillas and fajitas..
