rancho alegre cuban restaurant

delicious food!plantainstook me back to my childhood

went in for an early dinner, the place was fairly quiet, minus the intermittent regulars getting drinks to go. service was good, just really laid back and casual. know that ahead of time, a meal is a chance to relax, communicate with friends and family; and enjoy great food. order the grouper, basmati (yellow) rice and plantains, while my wife had the ropa vieja (shredded beef), basmati rice and plantains. both entrees came with awesome black beans on the side. grouper was fresh, no fishy rubbery taste and not heavily saturated with oil. beef was delicious and seasoned lightly.plantainsare god's gift to mankind! they balance just a hint of sweet to the yellow rice salty. we finished dinner with tres leches and tropical cheese cake. the tres leches was a perfect example, while the cheese cake was not heavy nor overly whipped fluffy. a hint of line with a drizzle of caramel. awesome experience, will go back!!!

i visited this restaurant while at savannah for a short trip with friends. we found this restaurant on yelp and thought of trying it out.

the food was nice and the service was quick. i loved the sweetplantainsand yellow rice.

it is a matter if taste. the sangria was good and theplantainswere good. my husband's pork dish was tasty. i ordered the fish combo in a pineapple and thought the sauce was just so so. i understand the disappointment in the black beans-- i prefer to have the chopped onions and vinegar to go with it for a little more pizazz. the music was good, but as with most restaurants now there are no soft surfaces to mute the sound--the music was was too loud for the venue--we tried to be seated as far away as possible but it would have been better with the volume turned down about a quarter. service was good. it is a matter if taste.

tried the pulled pork and the skirt steak with the chime churri sauce. both had such wonderful flavor! and the friedplantainsleft me wanting more. very nice change to the typical southern fried food common in savannah.

great off the beaten path cuban restaurant. friendly staff great sangria,plantainsand you have to share the tres leches cake. excellent value. wonderful flavors.
