A taste of Cuba in Columbia

Mojito's

The Place:

Quaint, nothing that would draw your immediate attention from the street, but once inside, my oh my. It has a homely feel, immediate relaxation, you begin to vibe with your surroundings.

If you want to chill, relax, and zone out, this is the place to go. The walls are lined with pictures of the old cars that roam the streets of Cuba. With vibrant green, and yellows, there is even a projector screen, with images of various beaches to soothe your mood.

The Food:

If you're looking for latin flavor, look no further. The menu boasts authentic Cuban cuisine, at reasonable prices. We started off our journey into Cuba with Tostones a smashed fried plantain, with a spicy dipping sauce yum. We also tried the empanadas with chimichurri sauce, the beef was flavorful and moist, the crust on the empanada was flaky and buttery, delicious. And for the entree' We had "The Cuban" a traditional pork sand-which with pickles, along side a vinegar based dipping sauce, it was divine.

The Service:

Awesome staff, very friendly and all smiles. If you go in and see a guy named Nate tell him Anthony sent you.

Cost/Value Rating:

All in all, with spectacular and friendly service, a very relaxed and chill atmosphere, delicious food. I proudly give this place a 5/5 rating. Cant wait to go back. Give it a shot you wont be disappointed.
