    Disappointed. Stick to the tacos.

    Was looking forward to the Maduros Rellenos appetizer but this time it was dry and flavorless. Ropas Vieja meat was tough and stringy. Arroz con Camarones ok but nothing special. Everything tasted old. The tacos on other tables looked good but that’s not Cuban cuisine....More
