Cubano's is a colorful and delicious destination for great Cuban-style dining. The decor is bright and airy, with walls of bright colors filled with beautiful art and elegant hardwood floors. This cheerful elegance carries over to the delectable cuisine, too. The comprehensive menu is full of Cuban favorites, all of which come in incredibly generous portions. Especially popular is the ropa vieja, slow-cooked beef that's shredded and served in a tomato sauce with rice and beans. The flan is a great dessert choice, but like everything else here, there's a lot of great stuff to choose from. Wash it all down with a refreshing mojito or premium margarita, and you've got a perfect night out on your hands. The flavors of Cuba are alive and well at Cubano's. Stop in and enjoy them for yourself.
