caribbean cafe

 every city that my family and i visit, we make sure to try local cuban food restaurants and after evaluating over a dozen (including some in miami, florida) i can declare that this (along with “el meson” in houston, texas) is the finest i have appraised. the restaurant itself does not look attractive on the outside and the neighborhood is not the greatest, but once you step inside the eatery, the atmosphere is reminiscent of the glamour of pre-revolution havana. the menu is extensive and the food is exquisite.                the aspect that impressed me the most was the restaurant’s authenticity; for instance, it was astonishing to listen to genuine son, mambo, and cha cha cha tunes interpreted by vocalist that were famous during the pre-revolutionary era. this last feature was truly unique as most cuban restaurants in the united states are melodically disappointing, playing mexican, puerto rican, or fast passed contemporary timba music. the service was not the best, but it was appropriate for an economical establishment of this sort. on the whole it was an exceptionally gratifying dining experience and i will categorically recommendcaribbeancafé to all of my cuban friends and family. 32.975642 -96.889964 about these ads southwest carrollton, carrollton, tx, usa compártelo: twitter facebook google like this: like

this amazing restaurant fills a culinary void in the dfw area. you can find a taco stand every 10 feet, butcaribbeanfood is sorely underrepresented.

was looking for acaribbeancuisine place in central n dallas area, andcaribbeancafe popped up. the us reviews spoke highly of the food, andcaribbeancafe did not disappoint.

we started w/ the ceviche de camarones, which included carrots and yucca along w/ traditional avocado, red onion. delightful. i had the house salad, arroz moro (black beans w/ rice and spices--very flavorful), and the yucca con moro (yes, yucca in another style besides frita. this is a rarity among latino restaurants, very good.) dinner compadre had bistec encebollado, red beans, and plantains tostones, which they said was all authentic and tasty.

service was okay. neither stellar nor horrible. waitress was genuinely friendly and good overall, just a little intermittent at times (leading to empty drink glasses).

if you are an enjoyer of texmex, and would like to see what authentic latin cuisine is and how it wonderfully differs from texmex, stop by this unobtrusive place and find out. you'll see how food can have great flavor and depth--via spices and preparation, as opposed to sauces and cheeses.

best cuban food in town!!. a friend of mine took me tocaribbeancafe on belt line & web chapel to try a new (to me) cuban restaurant. i didn't really know what to expect because i didn't know there was even a restaurant around there on belt line and web chapel--in fact there were a few more around there... a mexican and a thai restaurant right around the corner.

anyway, my friend order this thin steak dish (forgot the name) with eggs for me. it was sooo good... much better than other cuban restaurants i had gone to in dallas. the planteen (spelling??) was very good too. the restaurant was a little small but very cozy... a very nice place to go with a few close friends or two and hang out.

anyway, i really like this place and would definitely go back. the food was very tasty, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, the price was reasonable. highly recommended!

just like mom's!. who would have thought that we could find cuban food *this* good outside of miami or new york? i'm a cuban american who's been eating my mother's (and grandmother's, aunts' and cousins') cuban food all my life.caribbeancafe's food, well, it tastes just like my mother's -- it's that good! don't just take *my* word for it -- i picked up my mother the other day from the airport and brought her tocaribbeancafe. her assessment? perfecto!

like being in miami. if you want true cuban food (miami style) while in dallas, then head tocaribbeancafe. there is no other choice. absolutely fantastic.
