Restaurant Cuban restaurant

👍 For cheaper Cuban food in Barcelona I'm sure it's good. Compared to Miami Cuban food it's lacking. Steak was dry. Maduros pretty bad. Rice not really Cuban rice. Black beans good. Boiled Yuca is good and mariquitas good just need to ask for more mojo. People often mention Cuban, good,

    The food was very good, but be careful when asking for the bill, we ordered a tasting menu in which the menu specifies that dessert and drink included, because at the time of paying they were charging us for the drinks and they had made a mistake in the distribution of the desserts, that is, those on the menu had a dessert that in the first bill was worth 3.50 and 2 desserts that were worth 3 euros, when we claim the bill for the drinks they bring us another bill in which the 3 euro desserts have gone up to €4 Attempted scam because even though we didn't say anything, in order not to cause any more trouble, they have earned this negative review and we will not return and we do not recommend it from 4 people.

    It is a horrible place, never go there unless you want your night completely ruined. We were 10 people and the waiters had no idea who ordered what they gave us the wrong food so we were unknowingly eating each others food, while the others waited to get their food. They brought us extra dishes that we did not order and charge us for it and they did not bring food that we actually ordered. When it all started to be messy we pointed out not all but just 1 of these problems and the waiter started to fight with us, completely ruining our mood. I worked in a coffee shop and my friend in a bar, and I have waiter friends. So let me tell you the customer is always right!!!! And so after he had the nerve to talk back when he made multiple mistakes when I tried to call him again, he completely ignored me. Half of the table got their food almost an hour later then the other half so were waiting for us. Scandal this place. After a fiasco like this you not like being mean but you offer something to make up for it a free drink or something but after the huge stuff he made we should have eaten for free. It is a scandal and me and my 9 friends will never come back and tell it to everybody never go there.

    Food is delicious. Not much, little vegetables. Value for money. Friendly service.

    It's not what it was before! Attention could be improved, you have to be behind the waiter and he is not friendly at all. Super small tapas and pork masses that are just fat, so I don't repeat them.

    Cuban in Barcelona uallllll for me the best you got to try. We met the owner and the cook 2 very nice guys and after more than 10 days travelling in Europe we are in need of rice and beans and we find this pearl. Authentic Cuban food nor expensive, local beer at 2 euros, please which restaurant does that. If you around , try it you gonna love it.

    Not the best place I've been, but it's good. Lovely place and Cuban music to enrich the experience

    Stumbled upon this place around the corner from my apartment and it was the best food I'd had in a long time. Probably the best Cuban food I've had in my life. The dishes were authentic, considering the family who runs it are from Cuba. The food was fresh and well prepared. So much flavor! Everything from the Cuban tamal, platanos frito, ropa vieja, malanga, bistec, to the Cuban beer that was oh so tasty! I had a lovely time at this place enjoying every bite on my plate and talking it up with the owners. Very nice couple and outstanding service. Some nights they even have live music! Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in Barcelona.

    Incredible food!! The ropa vieja was delicious, as well as the fried ripe bananas. I can't say enough about the mojitos, the best we've ever had... anywhere!

    Nice food, poor wine selection. Friendly services. Next to the Prison museum of Barcelona. I recommend to combine the prison and dinner or lunch! ;))
