Going to start this one with 4 Stars because we only had Tapas and didn't have any of the delicious looking entrees.
We went there for Happy Hour on a Sunday. What time is Happy Hour on Sunday? How about this; ALL DAY 4-9p!!
Such a wonderful waitress that seemed thrilled to be working there and knew the menu in and out. Why? Well because she was Spanish. I haven't been to a Cuban Restaurant before and always assumed Cuban Food was Cuban Sandwiches, well that's Cuban Fast Food. Cuban Cuisine is more like Spanish Food with their own Island Twist! Also very similar to Puerto Rican Food with a slightly different twist as well.
Some awesome specials on food and drink. We kept it simple with a basic Mojito that was great!!! x3 :-P
We ordered some food from the Happy Hour Menu and some of their Tapas off the dinner menu.
I will list them out for ease of reading.
Seviche-Basic but good! Loaded with fresh fish and veggies!
Frituras de Camarones-Think Shrimp Cakes/Patties with a great sauce!
Calamari Frito-Calamari fried in Almond flour, crispy but not caked in batter, really the best Calamari I've ever had!
Croquetas de Pollo-Delicious crispy little chicken treats with an awesome sauce
Yuca Frita-Great little Yuca fries with another awesome sauce
Pastelito de Picadillo-Great little puff pastries filled with seasoned ground beef
Albondigas-Little tender balls of beef with an incredible brown gravy!
Repollo Relleno-Cabbage Leaves stuffed with Chicken and veggies covered in a creamy lime sauce!
Mojo de Ajo-Warm Garlicky lime and oil that is great for....Well, EVERYTHING to be dipped in! Great for bread dipping!
Just a fantastic experience for us since we loved Tapas Bars in Chicago and ate our way though Puerto Rico for a Week! We will definitely go back for a Full Dinner as our mouths were watering over their Seafood and Pork dishes! Semi-Local place with a nice Island feel as soon as you walk in the door. Also take a look at their schedule for music and dancing as they clearly like to party it up there and make you feel like you're 2000 miles from Phoenix! :-)
Great stuff! Thrilled we found this place. Strangely enough because we were sent to a dive bar next door and saw this and knew we needed to go back.
Take the previous LOW reviews with a grain of salt. I don't like to insult other people but I will guess they're just not up to speed on what Spanish and Island food are all about. This menu was put together like Pros!
