Grill Punta Gorda — Restaurant in Cienfuegos

It might easily be the best food we had in Cuba in 2 weeks!

I wasn't so hungry, so we ordered one appetizer (Tostones with garlic) and one main dish (pork). They brought us 2 soups even though we have one main, and said the other one is on the house. The soup was amazing!! I already knew it from other comments that the soup is very good and it was true.

Tostones with garlic wasn't something I fancied but I guess it is something personal.

Pork was soo well cooked. They really know what they are doing. The sauce was on point, and I like the added carrots and pumpkin...

Any Port in a storm! We had no great expectations of this Grill, facing onto the main road. We had been recommended another establishment nearby, which turned out to be closed. However we were hungry, and a spectacular tropical thunderstorm was soaking us by the second. We found a pleasant, obviously popular restaurant with good food, well cooked - what we were to learn to be the Cuban staples. Presentation and service both excellent, and we had a dry ringside seat for the lightning. Prices were a pleasant surprise...

You might easily get fooled into thinking this is not a good place when you see it from afar, as happened to me. Facing the street, rustic looking, open place. Yet the food is superb and the service is well over 5 stars. My toddler wanted something that wasn't even in the menu; the response from the staff was "no problem" and they made the requested dish on the spot with the quality of someone who makes it daily. I'd recommend the "masas fritas". Overall they won me as a regular for the whole time I was...
