I visited La Cabaña today for the first time. I viewed their menu on FB, called, and placed my order. Fifteen minutes later I showed up to pick up my potato flautas with rice and beans, and a torta de lomo (pork leg with ham).
Firstly, let me tell you the amount of food for the price is fantastic. I only paid about $15 and got a lot of food for it. Although I was just there to pick up a phone order, I was greeted promptly, and my order was waiting for me behind the counter. The customer service I received was fantastic.
Secondly, the most important part, the food was delicious. Let me begin with the flautas order. The refried beans had a good consistency and were seasoned just right. The red rice was cooked perfectly; it was well hydrated, seasoned just right, and deliciously fluffy. It felt like it had been made just for me, instead of waiting in a warmer for hours where it had dehydrated into a hard clump that's typical of a lot of mexican restaurants. The flautas were crispy, not greasy, and topped with chopped cabbage and cheese crumbles.
Now, onto the torta, which, let me just say, was my favorite. I have to admit it was one of the best tortas I've ever had. The bun was warm and pillowy. It was stacked up high with a really big portion of meat. The combination of flavors (avocado slices, cheese, seared ham, pork) was absolutely fantastic. The pork leg was so tasty! I know for sure I'll be back to try everything else on their menu. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and give...
Read moreWas in somerton so I searched for somewhere to eat while I was here. La cabana seemed like it would be a perfect spot because they advertised breakfast online and I love breakfast. I decided to get huevos ranchero and right away I was asked how I wanted my eggs, this is usually a sign to change my order because huevos ranchero to me is always sunny side up eggs. I decided to just keep my choice and what I got surprised me. First there was no sauce that goes over the egg, it was just Bell peppers, onions and tomato. This kind of reminded me of pico the Gallo and that's not what I want. Egg was not sunny side up like I requested and didn't get hash browns I got french fries. The French fries were good so it wasn't a bad thing but usually breakfast comes with hash brown. The price was not expensive but not once did my waitress come and check up on me. I will say their horchata was refreshing and tasty. Not sure if I'll be back but checking up on your customer service is needed and you have to get orders right. So this spot could be 4 or 5 stars but for this visit...
Read moreOverall: The Burrito was okay, but bad customer service.
In Detail: I was in the mood for a breakfast burrito and I was in the area. I walked in and quickly saw the black board with the information on their 3-Burrito "Paquete". The first thing I tried was mix and match the type of burritos but I was quickly met with a confused look on the lady taking my order, after a couple of attempts at explaining to me how it worked, I believe this is how the special works:
Out of the 3 Burritos, 2 will be the 1 type of burrito one chooses, the third burrito will be a bean burrito.
Hopefully this will help someone that hasn't been there before. I just wish the lady there would have been more patient with a new customer and less rude.
At the end I had to order a Special Burrito because the Egg Bacon burrito was not even one of the types listed. The $5.50 burrito was pretty small, I can only wonder how small the pre-wrapped ones are (the one from the "Paquete", on the black board). And the burrito could have used a bit more salt.
I hope your...
