  • A romantic little place tucked away in a residential area on Dovercourt right across the street from Luna Cafe. Great patio out front with a run down, lawn chair, no frills type of place had me extremely excited to eat here, hoping to get an authentic no bullshit Cuban meal (no real idea what that is exactly). Started off with a mojito and hemmingway for drinks, guac and chips, 2 cheese quesadilla and red wine chorizo. FYI, this place is NOT cheap. You'd expect a rundown shack looking type place to charge accordingly, but damn, it was $8 per drink with everything else costing at least $2-3 more than you'd hope... but hey, if the food's good who cares right?! Looking at the menu, nearly 70% of the things had plantains in them. If you hate mixing banana's and meat together like me, you'll just stare at the menu for a while thinking to yourself "damn, that sounds amazing except for the damn plantains!". Oh well, suck it up and order it anyways, you might enjoy it. The guac was pretty delicious, fresh made, flavouful and they gave us a TON. The chips were amazing and I was convinced they were homemade until I ventured passed the kitchen and saw big open bags of Tostito's Restaurant style =( Chorizo was very disappointing. It was tough and chewy, tasted like red wine rubber and lacked any sort of sausage-esque qualities. The quesadilla was also ho-hum, but I enjoy anything with melted cheese on it so it wasn't all that bad. For main we split the beef especial which was chile fried ground beef on plantains as well as their special consisting of black bean rice, crunchy stringed beef and vegetables. The entree's weren't mind blowing but they were tasty enough and made up for the crappy chorizo. It was fun mixing and matching what we had on the table and creating new combos of flavours and textures. Really enjoyed adding the ground beef to the quesadilla and guacamole and eating that with rice. Not how they intended, but good nonetheless. If this place was a little cheaper, or the food was a little better I would be raving about it, but I'm not totally satisfied. It's a great place if you want a quiet, romantic affair and want to show off your knowledge of hole in the wall establishments. It's fun, kitschy and cute, but not impressive.
