Cuba's Cookin'

Thank you to the owner and staff for the wonderful experience and atmosphere. The dinner was great and very tasty. Cuban rhythms and live music complemented the overall impression and pleasant experience of this restaurant. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for an authentic restaurant, not just to eat.

Unsung hero of the Aruba food scene! Ultimate Mohito was the best I had in 3 weeks on the island. Food was so delicious... ribs and pork especially yummy... so was the chicken and olives dish. Music added to the awesome ambiance of the decor in the restaurant. Don't miss this place!!

Very good service. Awesome atmosphere Friendly staff. Food is tasty and doesn't take long

We stopped in for a snack after renaisannce island and they had tapasitas hour starting at 2:30 PM. We tried the red sangria (not very sweet = perfect in my opinion), mini Cuban sandwich, pork bites and fried calamari. All of it was really tasty! It you like pickles ask for extra pickles in the mini Cuban. We had only one in ours (probably the only "bad" part of our experience). Now its hard for me to give 5 stars for the food when we only had a few appetizers and not a full sit down dinner. With that, I'm sure that their full menu is excellent and lives up to the expectation that I now have of their food. The location is great and we enjoyed the outdoor seating with the amazing Aruban breeze! Service was great too (keep in mind that it was early and they were not busy at all) so that was a plus. We said we would definitely come back when shopping in the downtown area!

We had been in here a few times many years ago when it was in the middle of downtown. Food was very good, we had Chinese habanero fried rice with grilled fish, and Cuban pork with onions. Both were tasty. It is an ultra modern pretty hip new location but for some reason it doesn't exude as much atmosphere and character as it did in it's prior location. Probably just a bit of the Disneyfication of the harbor area. The waitress was fantastic and the drinks were good as well. Artwork throughout the restaurant is worth seeing.

The restaurant is beautiful, very well decorated. The service was attentive and fast, I drank a mojito and it was very good. The food was good, but nothing amazing for the price, one of the plates we ordered was very salty, they changed and the new one was good. But still for me for the price I don’t think it worth it. My plate was rice, beans, banana and prawn, very simple and not well served.

Ordered the fish sandwich with fries which wasn’t bad. My wife had the tacos viejas which she enjoyed. My only complaint is I must have gotten the bottom of a bag of frozen fries because they were almost all half inch or smaller.

Had Empanadas & Black Bean Soup!!! Delish!!! My husband had the Grouper entree, he said it was the best he’s ever had. Mojitos, especially the coconut one, were delicious!!!! They had live music & the entire staff was wonderful. Can’t recommend enough!!
