Cuban Diner — Restaurant in Marietta

I ordered picadillo for delivery, and it arrived quickly and still hot. (So no problems getting the food to me fresh and hot.)

I was having a craving for one of my favorite Cuban dishes, one that I've enjoyed at selected restaurants over the last 20 years or so, from coast to coast, and I've never been disappointed before ... until now.

The picadillo I got here was seemingly little more than ground beef mixed with a bit of tomato paste. I couldn't find any olives or raisins anywhere in the dish I received, nor could my taste buds detect any spices added.

I didn't eat much of this entree as a result, but the next day I was able to salvage it by sauting the rest of the picadillo and veggies with some scrambled eggs and spices ... but honestly this food should be more appealing and flavorful than as a "scrambled eggs starter kit."

I'm really shocked at my experience, as the reviews here are pretty good, so I thought this restaurant was a safe bet.

The veggies on the side were similarly bland, with just the least bit of seasoning. The french fries were pretty good, but it's hard to mess those up, and I only got them because the photo in the app showed them paired with the picadillo so I figured I'd go with the restaurant's suggestion.

The only thing I was really impressed with and enjoyed was the guava and cheese pastry. I've had better versions of that pastry in Florida, but still it was tasty and not...

This is an EXCELLENT place to enjoy delicious Cuban dishes for a great price. The appetizers are delicious and the entrées are absolutely delectable. I have to say the server they have working there is also excellent, perfectly attentive without being overbearing. Not once did she ask me how my food was after I took a bite! I love the Ropa Vieja, it's my personal favorite but the Palamino Steak and Grilled Chicken are also delightful. I love their fries and their maduros! They have a Mojo sauce that's really tangy and interesting to compliment the food. This is easily one of the best restaurants in Marietta and one of the best Cuban restaurants, if not THE BEST in Georgia, do not miss out on a chance to try this place, I can guarantee you'll love it and you'll be back. I'm a very hard critic on food quality but this place is simply wholesome and delicious. It's home cooking, it's Cuban comfort food. I want to post some pictures of the dishes but every time I go here I finish the food before I take the pictures eventually I'll remember but I get so excited that it hasn't...

If i could rate a ZERO i would! Para la gente cubana de verdad este lugar le falta mucho para vender comida autentica cubana! mi experienci aqui fue de la peor.. pedi que me agregaran tomate en mi snadwich no lo hicieron cuando lolame para decir lo que avia pasado me colgaron DOS veces! El dueño le deveria de dar pena el pan que sirven aqui le falta mucho para ser cubano. TRANSLATION: for people that were born and raised in cuba like me this restaurant is short of being AUTHENTIC cuban cuisine the owners should feel ashamed the bread isnt even cuban. I ordered a chicken sandwich and i got a mushy watered pita bread thats how thin it was. i called to say something and got hanged up on twice.IF YOU TRULY WANT CUBAN FOOD STAY AWAY FROM HERE. ITS SAD BECAUSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER TRIED CUBAN FOOD WILL COME HERE AND THINK THIS GREAT cuban food BUT truth of the matter is my food (cuban) is much better than this. NEVER COMING BACK AND LETTING EVERYONE KNOW WHERE I WORK WHICH IS A GLOBAL COMPANY TO...
