Gadiel, you should really think about hosting your own Latino travel/food show! ?
yesssssss
@Jennifer Romero Im dead serious. Crushing is secondary. 🙂
Christine Leone stop flirting with him
I Would love to watch that!
@JarLo_ Marz right???
I think as a Cuban-Panameña from New York, I never realize how people miss out on comida de fusion!
????????A LAS ISLAS!!!????????
I believe Brazilian and mexican would make a great fusion ?
As much as I love my Mexican food, SoCal needs way way way more Caribbean flavors. Being Rican/Mex mixed it’s ok since I get it at home. But my Cali people need more of this. ????
Agree exited to try this place today
@KRAZYJNVA 2up2down Esa es la verdad mio. We lit ..
@toocold 123 dominican cool people though. I lived in Panama over 7 years plenty dominicans down there. I had a good time when I went to santo domingo for the first time a few weeks ago
@toocold 123 honestly the only one creating problems here is you, a Dominican person. Not Mexicans(the people you blame for division). The ignorance with you is big and the irony of your comments isn’t surprising. If you want Caribbean food in Cali, go ahead and open up a restaurant there or tell one of y’all’s Caribbean friends to. N if it fails, just know it wasn’t because of Mexicans(there’s white, black, Asians, Central Americans in Cali in case you didn’t know), it was probably cuz y’all’s food ain’t good in general cuz the only people I see eating Dominican food are Dominicans only so?♀️
“No se donde queda eso but sounds Cuban!” Oh Gadiel!
He’s very ignorant.
My wife is Dominican, I am Mexican and we are both in love with each others cultures … But I feel bad there is no good all Dominican restaurants in around in California… Im sure she would love this place though because the food looks amazing !!!
@Alex ArkadiosNope…
Yo Paulette you have deff never visited corona
@파피포 ???
Jose Moran more like Jose Moron
@Alex Arkadios just stop
you guys have bragging rights when it comes to bagels, pizzas. leave mexican to us
Jejeje muy bonito mirar esto unidos ??,??,??,y??
Grum Pee yes indeed ?
Acho papi we out here.
Finallllly some Cuban love ??????????????
I smell thirsty men on the internet around
You fine as hell what’s that IG ?
You can get all the love from DR.
Gadiel needs a food show and omggg love every time you guys invited tony when he started to sing cuando salí de cuba ?? I felt that…. food looks so go we need this in The Valley
Lmfaoooooooooooooo the Cuban “coño” was so soft and subtle
There are different types of “coños” on the island but that was not the typical coño.LOL its usually pronounced Con,ño!
With the exclamation on the Ño and sometimes it’s just Ñoo
We even got a store in Miami calle Ñoooo que barbato. Cubans are like the Jamaicans of the Spanish speaking world we shorten all words up.
I wish this place was in NY. We have La Caridad 78 which is a Chinese Cuban fusion and it’s really good. The chef is Chinese but he has a Cuban accent!
@Jose Stevenson Indentured servants. Most left after slavery was abolished in 1886 nut alot stayed and that’s how Chinatown came to be. Been there too. Quite interesting even though not many Chinese Cubans live in Havana present day.
Theres a cuban restaurant close to times quare called La Havana
Chinese-Cuban food is bomb, bro! We used to go to a joint when I was a kid in the Bronx. I’ve never had Chinese food that good since. ?
@recoil53 The Chinese were brought to Cuba in the 19th century. Over 100K.
“Coño!” ? says it all. Love this mix. Damn! Hay hambre.
Cristian Rodriguez right?!!!
Che Chelli he knew what’s up with that morisoñando ??
Saw this video and now I’m at the restaurant and gadiel is sitting next to me ???? #thereviewisreal!!
Omg, no way!!
The loud shouts when things taste good. So Caribbean!
I love my people and my culture!!!?❤️??????
I wanna be Tony’s friend imagine him being ya hype man and just encouraging you in everything ???
I was seriously craving everything in this video!! Gadiel knows how to eat!
Looks amazing !! Being Mexican I love trying Caribbean food ?
Not gonna lie. The first thing that came to mind when I read the title was Erick and Richard ???
No voy a mentir. La primera cosa que vino en mi mente cuando leí el título era Erick y Richard ???
OMG! Same! ?
Maria Contreras same
me encanta la comida caribeña ❤️
Wow now I know where to go when I visit California! Love when I see Spanish Caribbean brothers unite !
