We started off with the Calamari and it was excelent, for dinner we had the Cuban Sandwich and the Rosemary Grilled Chicken. Both were great. They carry over 100 different rums, I had a Bacardi 8 mojito and my wife had one made with a rum from Guatamala called Zaya. The mojitos are a must. More

Three of us recently dined at the Cuba Libre. To start with we tried to make a reservation and left a message on their answering machine but they did not call back to confirm. On a later call they said that only parties of 6 or more could make a reservation, however if we arrived by 7pm there would be... More
