I have been supporting this Dominican Bodega for over 10 years and the food keeps getting better. They always treat me like family and I am very happy with the customer service I receive.

Food is amazing. Hand down one of the best spots for authentic Spanish food. They have everything from pernil to chivo. Great grab and go and well priced

This place is phenomenal! It deserves much more recognition than it already does. I visit this place often. I love the quality of food and the variety. The breakfast and cafe con leche always ‘deliver’! Their lunch and other hearty entrees…outstanding! The customer service always warm and welcoming! Don’t forget the variety of empanadas!

Our local friends directed us to this spot for some amazing Cuban cuisine and we were not mislead. Their Cuban sandwich is to die for. The chicharrones are the next best thing to the cracklin’ I get in Southwest Louisiana. And the plantains were on point. This is as authentic as it gets and the convenience store it is in the back of has some cool things too. Want Cuban food? Eat at East Lake.

Great food. Wonderful staff. They have a roofed open area to eat. When I come back to this area, I will absolutely visit again.
