1. Looked at all the photos and immediately thought the restaurant looks like a wonderful place to spend an evening!

Absolutely love the open air experience, and the ambiance looks so inviting.

I have always wondered how genuine Cuban rice and beans would be. They certainly sell outside the country, and have, for a long time.

I also love the fact there are a couple of friendly "feral" kitties who visit the place, as well! They have probably made a lot of friends.

I noticed a comment written somewhere at the restaurant by a visiting U.S. American, "Cuba Rocks" and "Thank you, Obama, January 19, 2015."

What a pleasant memory that brought back, thinking of the time U.S. human citizens learned former President Obama had finally initiated the process of transforming US-Cuba relations, at long, long last. Trump destroyed that right away.

Can't really stand waiting until the country regains its sensibility, if possible.

Thank you, Marcus IM.

Considering the conversion rate, the prices are good for both parties.

Of course, the brutal dictatorship requires they be licensed, inspected by the ministry of health, and (((gasp))) they pay taxes!!11!!

Their chickens are free range, veggies and salads are grown locally and organic.

Live music and the friendliest staff.

A great place to take guests to a non-fancy meal and/or beverages.

I hope you get to go sometime.

I read comments by previous guests and enjoyed seeing one which raved about their sauce with the Pollo Asado, indicating it was absolutely sublime! (Had imagined it must be very special!)

It looks like such a fun place to visit. It would be stupendous to get the chance!
