| - Several of us flew to AZ for my sister's birthday. To ensure an over the top birthday we took her to the "spot" to eat - Asia De Cuba. The hotel was a bit off the beaten path, but nicely done with all white walls, furniture and sheep (you'll just have to go see for yourself).
Neither my hubby or I had been but we went with well seasoned patrons. I trusted their taste buds so I didn't bother looking at the menu. They had it practically memorized, I was excited!
We went with the calamari salad, yuck. Ok, maybe that's harsh, but I'll tell you it was no good. The calamari was super salty and the combination of bananas and other fruit and fish just didn't tantalize my buds.
Then the long awaited entrees...um. Ok, I'm being fair, if you look at my other reviews I really rate on the mark. Maybe above or under average if I don't like the place but it's fair. So for me to tell you the chicken was tough and the short ribs the same, is just plain honest. The string beans however were yum, but that's because we ordered them with the pork on the side. The one thing I enjoyed was the butter fish. It had good flavor and a nice texture. If I have to go again, that's all I'll order.
Ironically, we sat with the big rooster looming over us like a parent pecking "eat all your food, there are starving children out there". Funny enough, how did they know to seat us there? Maybe they know the food is mediocre and the ambiance just doesn't cut it for $70 entrees.
