I've been in Charlotte for a minute now and I've yet to find some authentic Latin food and I wasn't gonna find any here!
Coming from South Florida I was not impressed at all with this restaurant. I'm sure it's great for the locals, but for anyone that knows the truth, they're not even close to authentic Cuban food.
Let's start off with the fact that they don't have "daily specials" which is the norm of EVERY Cuban restaurant!
They also don't serve any complimentary bread which is also a MUST in EVERY Cuban restaurant.
We ordered a very simple and traditional dish, Pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken) with rice, beans and plantains. The ONLY thing on my plate that was remotely close to Cuban food was the rice, beans and the maduros.
The chicken was SUPER DRY and VERY TOUGH! Definitely NOT the REAL DEAL. Our server was friendly and the restaurant is nice and clean, but if you want some Authentic Cuban Food, this ain't it!
The prices are ok, but my hunt for REAL latin food continues! Stay tuned!
