    My boyfriend and I had the best night ever at Azúcar de Cuba! Awesome atmosphere, great servers and nice music. After a few dissapointing visits at some of the local restaurants, we wanted our last night to be extra special. And boy, was it! When we came to the bar, there was live cuban music, which made the whole experience so much better. (Though, if you're looking for a quiet place to eat, this is not it). Our waiter (Maria) took good care of us, and made sure that we understood the concept of the menu. We got the best cuddlefish we've ever tasted for starters, and the main dish was just as good. - Finally some awesome tasting food! After we finished eating, we ordered a few drinks from another waiter, a Romanian guy (we didn't catch his name). He was really nice as well! He took his time to recommed drinks for us, small-talk.. Just all those things that makes a night out feel extra special. After some nice tasting drinks, it was time to leave, and here we got the best shot, we've ever tasted. Omg..! We whole heartely recommed this bar to everyone who is in the mood for some good, beachy, cuban vibes and a night they will never forget!

    On holiday with my 5yr old daughter and took her to this restaurant, although we didn't have reservations we were allowed to sit down for drinks and wait for the kitchen to open for lunch. Our beautiful waitress recommended some great dishes, the food was really good and the cocktails were even better. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

    The only place of the five bars/restaurants that would make me a Long Island. Had the salmon and it was delicious. The service was quick and very accommodating to this non-native speaker. And my goodness, you can’t beat the views!

    Walked all the way here based on a recommendation from a google search. The restaurant was completely empty at 1:45- they asked if I had a reservation 🤔I went back to the local bar around the corner where I had wonderful friendly service. Bar Bahía 😊

    This is probably the best restaurant in Rota! From the on the beach setting to the amazing from scratch cuisine, you cannot beat this place. This place has a family friendly lounge environment with a high class menu and friendly staff. My husband and I casually relaxed on a cushioned bench, while watching the waves and sipping a mojito. We ordered the pico de gallo with avocado, Cuban tamales and Supreme salmon with Iranian pistachio and coconut curry. Everything was delicious, fresh and clearly made to order. Definitely give this place your patronage. Thanks!!

    (Translated by Google) It will be because of the Cuban-Andalusian charm. And the friendliness of the staff. (Original) Será por el encanto cubano-andaluz. Y la amabilidad del personal.

  • 1/5 Kayla C. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been to Azucar de Cuba many times over the last five years and have always have a positive experience. However, today, I ordered a mojito (one of the drinks they’re very well known for and good at) and something was really off. Because I’ve had such positive experiences in the past, I didn’t say anything, I thought maybe it was just an off day. The ladies next to me, however, had the same experience. They, too, ordered a a mojito, and it was really off. By really off - I mean, it tasted like mouthwash mixed with toilet water. I’m not sure if there was too much mint liquor or what, but it wasn’t it’s normal delicious goodness. After we paid, the waiter asked how the drink was, and I was honest with him. We didn’t say anything upfront, we paid the full bill, but I just mentioned how something was a little off, that it wasn’t as amazing as it normally was (I promise, I wasn’t fully honest about how horrible the drink was because of how many positive experiences I’ve had there). The waiter immediately got extremely defensive, discounted my feedback, and walked away. While I really used to enjoy this bar, I’m completely taken aback by that waiter’s behavior. I can deal with a bad drink, but I can’t deal with completely discounted, rude behavior when I was nothing but kind and fully paid for our drink but was just honest about how the drink was off. If I was rude or persistent about how bad the drink was, sure. Maybe I deserved that service back. But we were very kind, didn’t say anything, paid our full bill and tipped, and then briefly mentioned that kindly when pointedly asked. The waiter discounted me, blew me off, and just walked away. I’m still blown away by that treatment, and for that, won’t go back again.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious tuna. I think it is one of the best places in Rota to have good tuna in tartare and tatami. The salad is also very good. The service, absolutely charming. We will be back very soon !! (Original) Atún delicioso. Creo que es uno de los mejores sitios en Rota para tomar buen atún en tartar y tatami. La ensaladilla también muy buena.

    (Translated by Google) We loved this chiringuito. Yesterday my partner and I went to dinner and we were happy because of this TripAdvisor recommendation. The food was GREAT !!! And the house dessert has made me change my opinion about coconut after 36 years (thanks Sofia). The staff are great professionals, friendly and very very attentive. They served us fast and always with a smile. His recommendations for dinner a hit. Although we are not spending the summer in Rota and we only have a few days left, we are clear that we will come back with the whole family to repeat the experience and the odd dish. For cook @ and staff: ole vosotr @ s and ole your coconuts :) (Original) Nos encantó este chiringuito. Ayer fuimos a cenar mi pareja y yo y salimos felices por esta recomendación de TripAdvisor . La comida estaba BUENISIMA!!! Y el postre de la casa me ha hecho cambiar mi opinión sobre el coco después de 36 años (gracias Sofia). El personal unas grandes profesionales,simpáticas y muy muy atentas. Nos sirvieron rápido y siempre con una sonrisa. Sus recomendaciones para la cena todo un éxito. Aunque no estamos veraneando en Rota y solo nos quedan unos días, tenemos claro que nos volveremos a acercar con toda la familia para repetir experiencia y algún que otro plato. Para cociner@ y personal:ole vosotr@s y ole vuestros cocos :)

    An amazing beach side bar / restaurant. This is a must go to place in Rota, Spain. Apps and the Iberian pork were delicious.

  • 5/5 Simone COBETTO G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is "my office" at the beach when I'm in town. It's always good to take time for coming here ☺️ Also you can book a place to stay at the beach in summer during weekends. The plates are a mix of Spanish and Colombian and this is awesome. Cocktails are super cool 😎

  • 5/5 Nathan R. 1 year ago on Google
    We have loved this spot every time we go. The food is NOT Spanish food whichs means it actually has flavor. Not trying to be mean but this country boy likes herbs and spices. The atmosphere is amazing and you can either chill or be loud. If you are lucky you can sit in the balcony and watch a beautiful sunset on the beach. Oh I almost forgot the drinks...they are SO good, my wife doesn't really ever drink but whenever we go she has two Pina coladas which are made with real cream. Go to the spot for everything, the food, the drinks and the atmosphere!

    Wonderful experience and atmosphere, amazing food, super nice service (graçias Aroa and David!), very child-friendly, right on the beach so views couldn't be better, also hygienic. This place made our (rainy) day!!

  • 1/5 Alberto Manuel Tavares S. 9 months ago on Google
    It is a very nice and pleasant place, but there is no need to intentionally and deliberately deceive customers. The order was placed by pointing at the menu. Even because the "Tabla de quesos (22€)" is not on the menu and the "Queso de oveja (7.5€)" was ordered. Did I complain? No. That's how they do it, that's how they want to be known!

  • 5/5 Zoe S. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this little gem on our penultimate evening. Wonderful food and service

  • 5/5 Lizardo 9 months ago on Google
    Perfect atmosphere for any date or get together. I'm Cuban so when I saw this I had to try to see how accurate the food is. I'd say about 50% of the food is cubanesque but all the food regardless is delicious. I recommend the yukas bravas as an Appetizer, absolutely amazing. The music and vibes are very Cuban and the view is a 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 mary 0. 10 months ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) Great as always, the only thing that in this cold season is missing heaters inside because it is quite cold. Otherwise great (Original) Genial como siempre, lo único que en esta época de frío le faltan calentadores dentro porque hace bastante frío. Por lo demás genial

    Helpful staff and great vibe. Bar tables get full quickly because small groups sit at large tables. Don't forget the bar is self-serve, so don't wait around expecting the staff to ask you what you want to drink.

  • 5/5 Olivia O. 4 years ago on Google
    Best place to have lunch right on the beach I can imagine it being very busy during the summer. We visited in February weather is great and it was not too busy.

  • 5/5 Robert H. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent mango mojitos and tasety food. You can eat with the sand between your toes. One of the few beach restaurant in Rota open year long since they are so great.

  • 5/5 Cody F. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is positioned in an excellent location; right on the beach! They have covered seating that is conveniently located separately from the bar, as that area is overflowing with people. We came here for the food, but it looked like the perfect spot to get a cold refreshing beverage if you’re spending your day on the beach. The menu had limited Cuban food selections, but it what was available was pretty good. Slightly expensive, but it seems appropriate for the location. Would definitely recommend a stop here the next time you’re in Rota.

  • 1/5 Susana G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Terrifying experience !! They recommended the place for the mojitos. So we went to test. But my surprise to see how they prepared it completely disappointed me. It turns out that in that place they taste the cocktails before serving the customer. Well, what he did was the following, he tried one by taking out the straw and that same straw put it in the next glass. Logically I told him that I didn't want those mojitos, which was what I asked for, they made me another new one without the waitress trying it (the most normal thing). It is not necessary that there has been a pandemic to criticize it is unhygienic for a person to put the same straw sucked by it. (Original) Experiencia terrorífica!! Me recomendaron el lugar por los mojitos. Por lo que fuimos a probar. Pero mi sorpresa al ver cómo lo preparaban me desilusionó por completo. Resulta que en ese lugar prueban los cócteles antes de servir al cliente. Pues lo que hizo fue lo siguiente, probó uno sacando la cañita y esa misma cañita lo metió en el siguiente vaso. Lógicamente le dije que no queria esos mojitos que fue lo que pedi, me prepararon otro nuevo sin probarlo la camarera (lo más normal). No hace falta que haya habido una pandemia para criticar es anti higiénico que una persona meta una misma cañita chupada por ella.

  • 5/5 Marianela O. 5 years ago on Google
    We have visited this chiringuito years before and we can see an improvement in the menu and sitting areas. It has opened up and been modernised. Service was great just maybe a bit quicker to get the bill could help as it will get customers in and out efficiently. Food was delicious (New menu) Cocktails were tasty and well presented. They have live music or a Dj by the sea. Atmosphere is great and inviting. Definitely a place to hangout and enjoy a drink or sunbathing! Green Chairs by the side could do with some cushions.
