The Cuban vibe is alive in this pleasantly bright and tidy dining room, complete with high-backed wooden chairs and rustic cast-iron barstools. Entry-level Cuban dishes include snapper a la criolla with an intense garlicky red sauce and lechon asado (roasted pork), served with rice, black beans and sweet platanos maduros. Everything is simple and authentic, though a bit lackluster. Tropical fruit batidas (milk shakes), Latin sodas (like Malta and Champ’s Cola) and soulful desserts like the caramel flan to perk things up a bit.
