casablanca cuban grill

the food was pretty good and was just fun and new to try. if you stick to getting pork, rice and beans, you won't be disappointed and you have to try the plantains!servicewas fine but slow and will probably come back again when i'm feeling like something different to try.

a taste of little havana, fl without driving 2837 miles. i lived in miami for 10 years back in the 80's. when i wanted the best cuban food it was time to head to little havana. over the years i've really missed that great cuisine. well yesterday my daughter flew up from miami and we went to the casablanca for lunch. i ordered the cuban sandwich on sweet bread and she ordered the pollo asado. all i can say is the tastes were a blast from the past. exactly as i remember them. i'm headed back today for lunch again. theservicewas fantastic and the waitress shared that the family that owns this restaurant came from cuba 4 years ago. i highly recommend this restaurant and there prices sure don't break the bank.

it is a great place to eat and it is a family run restaurant. theservicewas very good. my wife and i have ate at cuban restaurants in miami and this is as real as cuban food gets.i can't wait until they get there food truck going. if you like cuban food then you have to try this place.

great to be back. i was craving for that cuban food( and it seems that the more cuban food i eat the more i want) i just came back from vacation ( miami) and there a restaurant or caffeteria in avery corner, half of them cuban.
casa blanca cuban grill is becoming my favorite place to go here to eat and hang out and compared to the restaurants in miami i close my eyes and it takes me back to them but here in boise. the food is great and taste variety is amazing, the prices are also amaizing as well as the mojito and the traditional cuban coffe, the new flan tres leches is the best i ever had.

excellent, authentic!!!!!!. this was an excellent experience better that many cuban restaurants in miami, theservicewas great the food was athentic, the real deal!!!, teh tostones rellenos are to die for and the bacalao a la bizcaina omg, also the sangria was as good as the ones i tried in spain and in havana, my son tried the cuban sandwish and it was very tasty with all the ingridients then the cuban flan to finish the feast sealed teh deal i'm going back w my friends and family.

everything about this place is great!servicelike you are family and the food is so flavorful. a boise gem! we hope they stick around.

slow lunch... good food. theservicehas much to be desired, as the waitress complained that she did not like cuban food and that she doesn't eat at the restaurant because she is mexican (seriously). additionally, the waitress had a bad attitude as if we were interrupting her day by being there. not professional and if it was my restaurant, i would give a talk or show her the door.

we waited for our food, with no one else in the restaurant, for over 45 minutes at lunch. i am not sure what the holdup was, but it appeared no one was expediting from the kitchen, and the waitress was not following up. way too slow for a couple of sandwiches and french fries.

fortunately the food was very good, however, i doubt i will ever spend my money there again. it is a shame since the cuban ambiance was great, and boise needs a good cuban restaurant. management needs to clean house and be more involved to control their staff and kitchen.

got online to find cuban recipes because.... my best friend took me to this restaurant yesterday for lunch and i am thrilled! when we walked in, we recieved a very authentic hello welcome from a lady carrying a baby across the room...which immediately gave me the feeling of "welcome home, make yourself comfortable!" before we even sat down, the second thing i noticed was the cleanliness of the place! i mean, it was very homey, but i swear it shined of clean! the third thing i noticed was the incredible aroma of the food. it rarely gets better than that. i was new to the cuban menu so my friend ordered for us, and we shared two entrees...one chicken with a side of rice and black beans and fried plantains (which reminded me of when my dear mother used to cook them when i was little... oh yummy!) and the other meal was a ground beef dish with a side of white rice and black bean soup. then there was the yucca... yucca for me- yumma for others. everything else was nothing short of spectacular! even the white rice was special. theservicewas incredibly friendly and i really felt appreciated. this is a restaurant that i hope you will all try out so that it will live long and prosper...don't let this place come and go undiscovered! it's the kind of place boise needs, hope to see you there!

married to a cuban.. i am so pleased that a cuban restaurant came to boise. i went there today and i'm going back! i ordered the picadillo dish, with the accompaniments of rice and black bean soup and the maduros, or sweet plantains fried, and a salad. i was pleased with the picadillo, though i would have liked a few more green olives, so i cut the two i had up and that mixed the flavor through the bites. i decided that for the toned down lunch menu two was enough. the black beans were very plain. i was surprised because the picture for the groupon shows the black bean soup with chopped red and yellow peppers on top. i don't think there was any flavoring in the beans except the salt. i wonder why they don't put their brand of sofrito in their beans? my cuban relatives always add at a minimum: onion, garlic, bell pepper, oregano plus their own unique touch. the mexican restaurants don't get the flavoring for black beans so i always order the pinto beans there because they are flavored, but i expected a cuban restaurant to flavor the black beans! i'll go back, i love cuban food! the picadillo was good, the rice and beans had the perfect texture and the maduros were a sweet memory of my mother in laws cooking, theservicewas friendly. i recommend you give them a try.

authentic cuban food. well it was a nice surprise to find this gem in boise. being cuban, i found this place to be pretty authentic in my first visit. our food was great. we all shared our bacalo con moro y cristiano y tostones, fricasee de pollo con arroz blanco y frijoles negros y maduros and cuban sandwiches. for dessert it was flan de leche and arroz con leche - tasted like home. my only comment would be that theservicewas a little slow. three of us got served our entrees and two of our friends got served their sandwiches almost 10 min later. will i go back, absolutely!

classic, tasty, fresh cuban food. friendlyservice& reasonable prices. glad to see a cuban restaurant in boise off to such a good start!

solid!. we discovered they'd only been open 5 days when we visited the restaurant, but still had a great experience. food was solid -servicewas excellent - definitely scratches that cuban food itch! i had the tostones y mojo, ropas viejas, moros y christianos and the owner gave us a complimentary flan de leche. all delicious. my daughter had the cuban sandwich - probably the best i've ever had. they're still working out the kinks (which is to be expected), but i sincerely hope this restaurant is successful and weathers the storm of the first year of business.
