Got a Lechon Asado bowl for lunch today. I've driven by this place so many times since it opened up about 4 months ago. This restaurant is a delight!
D'CUBAN Cafe is located on Chamblee Dunwoody Road, directly across the street from Chamblee Charter High School. The parking lot is not that big, and it can fill up without a moment's notice. There are about 7 booths and tables total inside, with some tall stools that customers can sit on at a counter. Customers can walk in, order at the counter, receive a pager, then sit at a table. When your food is ready, a the pager will let you know that it's time to pick up your order. Before returning to their tables, customers can stop at the nearby station to pick out plastic utensils, napkins and condiments, such as ketchup, green sauce and red (hot) sauce.
I had ordered the Lechon Asado (shredded roast pork), which came with choice of white or yellow rice (I chose yellow rice), and black beans and sweet plantains. R ordered the same bowl, except he opted for the white rice. We received the bowls full of hot food. The shredded pork had a nice light roasted flavor, and the meat went very well with the black beans and the sweet plantains. The sweet plantains, however, weren't overly sweet, which was great because I don't prefer sickening sweet things. These plantains were perfect - heck, everything was, from the customer service (the woman at the counter was very nice and answered our questions), to the great food, to the welcoming dining area and the music playing through the sound system. As we were leaving and headed toward the door, one of the owners thanked us for coming in.
We'll definitely be coming back! They have many more items on the menu, such as empanadas, many different sandwiches (including veggie), a large variety of sides, and meals are sold as platters and bowls.
