Havana Restaurant - On Dixie Hwy in West Palm Beach, FL

Delicious Cubano food. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly. The waiter took time to offer suggestions and answer questions. The oxtail dish offered a fantastic array of flavors - the sweet plantains, the dry flavor of the black beans and rice, and the savory oxtail. Quite the combination!!

I definitely recommend this place. There were more gringos eating here than at some places in Little Havana, but the food still seemed pretty authentic to me.

Islas Canarias Restaurante - On NW 27th (in Little Havana) in Miami, FL

We are from Oregon and wanted to find an authentic Cuban restaurant in Little Havana. We debated for a while as to which place to give our one shot to on this trip. We finally decided to go with Islas Canarias. The whole experience was excellent and I'm dying to go back! We were the only gringos in the place, luckily my dad speaks Spanish (having lived in Chile for a couple of years). It's a good sign when a restaurant is full of people from the country of the food's origin.

Definitely go here if you have a chance!! Great food and nice people!

El Siboney Restaraunt - On Catherine St. South of Truman Ave. in Key West, FL

I dream nightly of going back to The Keys and eating at places like this again. The food was delicious and the place was clean and reasonably priced. I slowly savored every single bite. The place was very busy, probably because it's a great place. This meant that, while the servers weren't rude, they seemed to have no time for pleasantries. Honestly, it didn't bother me, as long as the food, prices, and cleanliness hit the mark, which they did. I highly recommend this place.

Rotissol and Greens - Food carts on 9th and Washington to 10th and Alder in Portland, OR

(This Place is on 9th)

This food cart is legit!! I love Cubano sandwiches and I try them whenever I see them on a menu. This one is at the top of my list. The only Cubano that I enjoyed more was in the Miami area. This was the perfect amount of food – full but not so full I was sick. Plus you can stroll over to the park across the street to sit and eat and enjoy Portland. The problem with some of the other carts is that there is nowhere to sit and eat. I will go back and try their other sandwiches for sure.
