| - I've only been once so far for lunch take out, but it was an easy 4-star experience. I think the girl working the counter (and serving) was an absolute charm, and you could tell she loved working there. The other staff seemed equally enthused.
I'm a fan of Cuban food, but not a fan of the lack Cuban food in the valley. I was excited to find this gem hiding along I-17 the other day, and definitely expect to be back.
As for the food, I've only tried one thing, and it was kind of weird. But listen to the name and the concept, and try to give me a reason not to try it? Papo Relleno, which I think means stuffed, fried potato. Which is the perfect name for this - baked potato, stuffed with chicken and stuff, and then deep fried. It was kind of like a potato latke of sorts, not amazing but definitely worth the try. It came with a "salad" (some lettuce underneath it, with what tasted like Italian dressing) and a thing of chicken soup. Careful, they keep the soup hot - don't burn your tongue like I did!
Can't wait to go back, and will definitely be here before giving Havana Cafe another shot any time soon.
