| - I last visited Roly's a few months back, but I wanted to write a review and forgot...sorry. Anyway, I am Dominican and I was born and raised in Miami. Many of my friends growing up are Cuban. To this day, when I go home to Miami my dad goes to Riviera Bakery on 17th ave to get me an assortment of pastelitos. So, I consider myself an honorary Cuban pastry connoisseur. With that said, I will say that Roly's is pretty good, for Vegas.
I've had the pastelittos (pastries) - cheese, guava, guava with cheese and meat. All good, but not as flaky and yummy as I am used to.
I've had the croquettes, and they are okay as well.
I had a mango milkshake and a mamay milkshake and they were both good.
Can't go wrong with a cafe con leche.
So here's the deal. If you're expecting authentic "from back home" stuff, then you're going to be disappointed. But, if you just need a little fast of home to get you through the day, week or months, then you'll be okay. They do a good job and trying to make everything truly as Cuban as possible and you have to give credit where it's due. And if there are Cubans in there on a regular basis drinking coffee and eating sandwiches, then it's gotta have some authenticity to it.
Give it at try!!
