So, my friends and I love Cha Cha Cha and although we were sad to see it go, we were excited to see Kuba's offerings. Upon entrance, we noticed the ambiance and lighting was darker but there were beautiful marble tables. We took our seats and we were greeted warmly and took a look at the menu and noticed it had been completely rebranded as Kuba's but with the same exact offerings as Cha cha cha.
They were advertising a happy hour outside, but they did not have a physical happy hour menu. The price of the sangria was $45 for a pitcher which I believe it used to be around $35. However, that sangria was their saving grace.
We ordered the chicken wings, jerk chicken, & Cajun shrimp, but it definitely was much lower in terms of quality when it comes to what we are used to. The chicken wings were supposed to have a Cuban sauce but they tasted just like soy sauce and they did not look appealing but tasted just very basic. For the jerk chicken we were served a chicken breast although the menu said chicken thigh and it also came with a sauce that tasted just like the chicken wings and no rice. The bread was definitely the worst part of the meal, it tasted like a loaf of bread from a grocery store that they cut into uneven pieces and served it with cold hard butter. Everything tasted like the chefs did not know there was seasoning available, salt less and flavorless. The Cajun shrimp actually came with one giant head on shrimp and other small overcooked shrimp, but it was still edible. Not to mention that we did not get served bread until well into our meal service. All of the servers seemed new and untrained and they cut across our table to place items, but i will get them slack.
Our total came out to $115 with half of that being the sangria. We will not be returning until Kuba finds it's place in this area because it is definitely not what we expected or wanted to pay for.
