Cubana Social

Sis's bday was right around the corner so I took her out to dinner tonight. She felt like cuban so she looked online and found this place.

Got here around 7:15 and was seated right away. Place wasn't packed yet. Around 8pm, a live band started playing Jazz music.

Two of my sisters ordered a mojito...I couldn't since I was driving ;/

So...I got this instead.

Mexican Coke Cola! (not sure what the difference is)

Chili Potato Fries

Omg, these were pretty good. The dipping sauce was awesome. It kinda reminded me of cajun fries from 5 guys but way less saltier.

I believe this is the "Ropa Vieja"

Not bad. Meat was a bit moist. I don't think I would have been happy if this was my main dish though. I would get bored of the meat.

Lechon Asado

 I liked this better. The roast pork had a better flavor.

Poncho Pollo

This was my dish. This was pretty good. The dark meat pieces were very moist and the skin was delicious. The white meat was a bit dry but I think that's normal. The hot sauce that came with it was kinda weird. Didn't really like it but I kept dipping my chicken in it. The plantains were okay. Not as sweet and soft as I liked. There was a piece of crispy pork and that was yummy! Pickles were eh.

Chocolate Rum Cake

Omg, this was really good. It was warm and very moist. I didn't taste any rum though. I think that was good for me ;)

Cortadito

I like coffee with my desserts so I ordered myself this. I slipped the top of this thing in the beginning and it was mad bitter so I put in a packet of brown sugar. After that, I drank a bit more of the coffee under it and it tasted pretty decent. Not sure if it was because of the sugar or not.

Capuchino

Sis got this. Not sure if she liked it or not.

So overall, it was as pretty good dinner. Not the best but I don't have that much to complain about. Actually, I do have one comment. The service here was pretty slow. Our waiter didn't really give us much attention. It took like 45 mins for the food to come out, which wasn't the worst thing in the world but still. I think we were in this restaurant for about an hour and 45 mins.

The restaurant is like a block away from the water. Pretty nice view.
