Wow, where to begin. Perhaps by saying that I am from Miami, of Cuban parents, and definitely know what Cuban food is supposed to be like. Sadly, this restaurant does not.\r
I ordered a Cuban sandwich. Said sandwich was nothing more than a chopped pork sandwich with a withered slice of ham and a small pickle slice. Needless to say, this is not exactly a Cuban sandwich.\r
My daughter ordered a platter of tostones which were soggy. I tried them and they were very sweet. Clearly the plantains that they were using went way over the point whereby they could have been made into tostones. \r
My wife asked the waitress for maduros. The look on the waitresses face was priceless. She might as well have been asked what the social security numbers were of every resident in Richmond. Her response was that they don't have maduros. Alright, a Cuban restaurant that does not know of or serve maduros...please!\r
Finally, to add insult to injury, my wife's dish was served with cornbread. My folks had never even seen cornbread till they came to this great country!\r
The bottom line is that if you are looking for a place with authentic Cuban cuisine, then keep looking. If you are happy with lots of Cuban stuff in a restaurant, Cuban music, a nice atmosphere, and food which hardly resembles any Cuban cooking that I am familiar with, then this is your place.
Pros: cozy atmosphere
Cons: the food
