Sol Cubano is an unexpected and total DELIGHT!! Very friendly greeting as we walked in. Felt like coming into a home, fresh, clean, cozy and lovely. We ordered the oxtail. So absolutely filled with flavor from the first uber-delicious bite to the very last of it! Never have I had such a comforting beefy, tender flavor filled oxtail as this!! The rice with beans was just as amazing with a completely different array of mouth-watering goodness!! Tostones were the sweetest, tender and had just the slightest crunch!Everything arrived fresh and steaming hot! Nobody does that anymore! Amazing accomplishment.

Read moreSol Cubano is like a little hole in the wall burst of flavor. It literally is the only caribbean restaurant in Sacramento. If only we had more like Miami but who am I kidding :o .. I do love the dinner plate Ropa Vieja,(shredded beef in a sauce) however, the times I've come it has tasted different each time. Some really good, some not the greatest. So I have now been ordering the Carne de Res con papa (beef chunks with potatoes) so far so good. I always order an order of Tostones (fried green plaintains) y Maduros (fried sweet plaintains) & my dinner always ends with a Cortado ( cuban espresso) & un pastellito de guayaba (guava pastry). Being a Puerto Rican/Cuban in Sacramento is so hard because there literally are NO restaurants with our food. So when I am feeling homesick I always drop in! Give it a try! The downfall is they are ONLY OPEN 4days/wk (Wednesday-Saturday) #FriendlyService #Welcoming...
