Presciliano's Restaurant — Restaurant in Cuba

Update: 8/4/2023- We stopped by again for a quick lunch on our way through Cuba, with great anticipation for the excellent food we’d experienced before. I hate to say it, but we were very disappointed. We had the nachos again and they were still really good. We ordered the “homemade” onion rings as an appetizer. The onion rings we were served were not homemade. They were edible but not very good. The chicken fajitas were awful. The chicken was possibly boiled and appeared to only seasoned with lime juice. The texture of the chicken was gross and the sautéed vegetables were not done. We should have sent them back but we didn’t. We will go back sometime, but will stick to enchiladas and nachos.

Original review from 2020: We stopped by for a quick lunch on our way through town after seeing the great reviews on Yelp. The food was excellent, as was the service. We were greeted warmly upon our arrival, with no wait. Our order was taken promptly and cooked by the owner, himself. I got the nachos supreme, which was way more than I could eat by myself. We all enjoyed our meals, which included a big bowl filled with homemade sopapillas. They were fantastic and the honey they were served with was the real deal. Don't hesitate to stop by and enjoy a meal at Prescilliano's. The building exterior was nothing to brag about, but the food and the service was. I sure wish we...

TLDR: Everything on the menu has meat in it, so stay away if you're vegan or vegetarian.

The menu at this restaurant is misleading at best, and when I brought it up to my server, all she had to say was that "this is a New Mexican restaurant" and "he's been making it that way for years." Horrible excuse for distributing a misleading menu, because I have been to many New Mexican restaurants, where items that they say are bean dishes contain, in fact, only beans, and when there is pork (or beef, or whatever) in the chile sauce, it is noted. To use this being a New Mexican restaurant as the "reason" for saying a bean dish when it's really a bean, pork, and beef dish is a disgrace to New Mexico in general, because all that does is misinform your customers, and had they just been honest with me, I wouldn't have wasted my time here. I told them to indicate on the menu that even the bean dishes contain meat, but they didn't seem like they would, so that is where the ultimate disappointment lies, not necessarily in the fact that everything on the menu has meat in it (even though that is also extremely...

I'm not sure what happened the day we ate here. The 5-star reviewers must have had a different cook and server. The food was unadulterated slop. I had the carne adovada and it was barely edible. There were pieces that were rock hard like they took overcooked carnitas and threw them in red sauce. The server acted like she was put out when I asked for a water refill. I was tempted to tell people at the door to run away. Oh that's another thing. We stood at the door waiting to be even greeted for about 5 minutes. Fortunately, our stomachs survived. We got a bad case of gas but that was the extent of the effect of the horrible food we...
