Thursday afternoon

Heard Pep Boys is towing people, and didn't feel like parking across at the plaza and crossing street. So decided to just pay the $10 parking (which used to always be $5). Well at 2:45pm the valet said it was $20 even thought it wasn't really that busy. Could have taken a roundtrip uber been cheaper than $20. Paid the $20, went inside, the ID checker/pat down girl asked for a tip which is normal.

Inside, as others have stated, was majority average looking Cubans, most of them medium size (not necessarily big but def not slim). Lots of them look a bit hardcore, having been around the block. Customers were diverse as usual. Tons of cigarette and cigar smoke. VIP rates were 200 including room, and didn't seem to budge.

Still better than any other spot in the city but the experience has been gradually degrading.
