Love it for a friends get together! Slightly inconsistent but good. Would give it a 6.5/10 if possible but I see the potential in this little Cuban fusion restaurant. Got a tasting menu for about $30/person
Avocado salad (7/10) was one of the best dishes. It was fresh and the light basil dressing brought everything together. The magic was the nougat as a topping, such a pleasant surprise for crunch and chewiness.
Empanadas (6.5/10)were good, crispy and stuffed generously. Secret is cheese curds.
Papaya salad (6/10) was decent but I could live without It.
Fried cod taco (5/10) - texture was monotone. Lacking a some kinda of crunch. The cod didn't have a crispy exterior and due to the sauce that was drizzled over, made it soggy. Topped with mango salsa, it was okay. A lot of sweet mango going on. Needs some type of crunch and firmness to this dish.
The pincho de carne (7.5/10) skewers were amazing! They were juicy, tender and perfectly grilled.
Saffron rice (7/10) better than black bean rice (5.5/10). Black bean was too heavy and missing acidity. Saffron rice was delicious!
The cubano (3.5/10) was lacking some type of jus or spice, overall was missing more flavouring. Wouldn't order it again, I suggest adding a lot of spice or something to make it different.
Dessert
Nutella flan (6/10) - their version of flan was very dense but tasteful.
Tres leches (5.5/10) - light and a perfect end to the meal *people who don't like regular light flan might love this a lot*
TLTR - totally would recommend but make rsvp first. Loved the ambiance and drinks are amazing! Definitely guava pina colada hands down.
