After looking at the menu at Cuba 6 times before I even got there, I still had no idea what I was having. The entire menu looks delicious on paper and in person. Bring out the drinks, por favor. They have 5 different drinks here and we had a round of them all. They brought out full pitchers for two hours, whether you’re done with your food or not. Complete lush! My least favorite was the Caipirinha but the mojito here is perfect. The drinks are all very refreshing and WILL quench your thirst.
We started from the bottom with the tostones rellenos and chicken empanadas. The empanadas lacked the burst of flavors I was expecting, but that didn’t take away the flavors it did have, especially the sauce that came with it. I can make these at home though, just saying.
The tostones are actually a personal favorite. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with stuffed tostones and I wasn’t about to go wrong at Cuba. I really wish I had gotten the Ropa Vieja because it tastes as good as it looks. Instead, I had to try their steak and eggs but I really don’t know who told me to get these runny eggs. I thought because they were great at Lokal, I would enjoy them here but I was a wrong. It’s just a preference thing though, nothing against the eggs here.
The steak was tougher than how I like it to be so I’m not sure if I’d order again. Our waiter was really nice and accommodating as well. This place is dope for groups so go with friends!
