Ashe — Restaurant in Houston

I don't usually do reviews but I have to let people know. I have ordered 2 times previously since they opened only a few weeks ago. 1st it took over and hour to get 2 Cuban sandwiches which come out 1 by 1 and 2 rope Veija. The second time it took 20 minutes for 2 rope Veija. I just tried to order 4 orders of rope and wanted to substitute my sides for rice and was told "NO, we don't do that you have to pay extra for more rice". I have previously owned and operated successfully Italian restaurants and not 1 time did I tell a custom who was about to order $80 worth of food "NO" especially newly opened. Just because you cook good food does not mean you should be running a restaurant. So I left and now going to my favorite Cuban Restaurant 30 minutes away. They will be happy to see me and substitute rice for sides and they have better Cuban sandwiches anyway....

I had no clue what the heck it was I was ordering so I just asked what was good. I was recommended ropa vieja so I got that and it was good! The sides I ordered were yucca con mojo and arroz congris, which is rice mixed with black beans. A little dry but not bad when mixed with the soupier ropa vieja beef I ordered The food here is very fresh and textures are nice. The waitress was patient with my nonexistent understanding of Cuban cuisine. Try the yucca. It is great with the onions. It tastes similar to potatoes if you have never had it before, just as I hadn’t. Prices are fair and the food is very filling, even for a bigger guy like me. I had a hard time...

We both got Ropa Vieja, yuca con mojo & arroz congris.

I think. Waitress was very authentic, we had a bit of a communication gap unfortunately.

Loved the ropa vieja, tasted a lot like what I've had in Miami.

Ordering the guanábana drink was a challenge to get right but man did it taste delicious.

The beans and rice were very good.

Excellent service.

Be sure you know what you're going to order before you get there if you don't know Spanish or the dishes because the menu doesn't help and you can't rely on the waitresses to translate for you. 😂🤣

Will definitely return. Prices...
