Our friends and us (my husband and myself)went to Cuba Libre for a special date and were very dissapointed. We made a reservation and when we arrived had to wait over 30 minutes for our table. While we were waiting, we went to the bar and ordered mojitos and they were really bad. They put syrup in them instead of real sugar so they made them syrupee and extremely sweet. After the wait, we were seated and coming from some Cuban influence in our families, I have to say we were very biased. None of the foods the 4 of us tried were genuinely Cuban. The paella was wet, the red snapper breaded with plantain, I am still looking for the plantain in it, the calamari was extremely breaded, takes the flavor out of it! I don't really know how they called themselves a Cuban restaurant with half of the menu having guacamole, I am sorry but that is not Cuban, it's Mexican! I don't know what book the chef or the bartender read in this case. Don't recommend it at all. On the other hand, they had some salsa lessons, that were pretty good, although too loud for the good atmosphere.
Pros: salsa lessons
Cons: food, service
