My wife and I visited after running into a couple at the Ritz who informed us that they visited The Old Cunucu House three times during their visit. It was just off the major roadway near what I call the KFC/Wendy's intersection. At the advice...of the hotel guest I ordered the Oxtail dinner (comes with white rice) which was not on the menu. To my surprise the dinner was very tasty. So much so that I actually enjoyed eating the white rice plain which is rare. My wife suggested that they add rice and beans to the menu, and the owner took her suggestion so much to heart that they offered to add it to tomorrow's menu. Being a foody we returned the next day seeking to compliment my Oxtail dinner with the rice and beans, and they certainly knocked it out of the park. We enjoyed it so much that we stopped there for the third time on our way to the airport to pick up a to go plate of the rice and beans. I can't speak for all of the items on the menu, but the Oxtails are very tasty, the service has a homely fell to it, and the rice and beans sealed the deal. We are scheduled to return to Aruba in early 2020, and definitely plan to make this HIDDEN GEM one of our first stops., My advice is that you call a day before if you want to sample the rice and beans. THE OLD CUNUCU HOUSE; a hidden gem full of flavor.More
