The signature menu is "Grilled Corn," which is made by grilling whole corn directly from the production area and sprinkling it with Mexican cheese and chili powder. The spicy chili powder enhances the natural sweetness of the corn and makes it delicious. If you squeeze the lime to your liking, you can enjoy the "authentic taste" even more.

The traditional Cuban-style sandwich "Cubano" is also a noteworthy dish. Roast pork stewed with plenty of herbs and spices sandwiched between bread with ham and Swiss cheese. Chipotle (spices) mayonnaise is used instead of mustard.
