I wanted to LOVE Cuba Cuba -- but it was more like Lust.... The place / decor / vibe is fabulous - super cute - like a little vacation and the mojitos are amazing. The patio is top-notch. The bar area is super crowded & it made me a little agro and claustrophobic -- but a drink quickly remedied that. I got the PLANTAIN CRUSTED TUNA - I was very saddened by the blandness of the dish - very boring and not satisfying. My friends had the PAELLA CUBA CUBA - and it was better on flavor - but we all agreed it was also very ""Asi-Asi"" -- SO SO and not worth the price. The atmosphere was still really fun - we had good service, especially from the bus-boy / food runners - which is always very much appreciated; plates didn't linger too long, water was always filled (a bonus when you are having pitchers of mojitos!) I'd go back for a sandwich and the fun atmosphere -- it's sort of a 'Scene' - so if you are into that you'll love it.
Pros: Isn't the food supposed to be the best part?
Cons: The food wasn't the best part!
