Review of Casa Cubana

Let me start by saying I'm Cuban. I was excited to eat Cuban food and went there with my husband for his birthday, which I told the owner because he asked on social media that we tell him if we were going because they were just opening the new restaurant. When we got there, the owner was present but he made no mention of the birthday, did not come by to wish my husband a happy birthday, did not even talk to us at all, and there were only two other customers at the restaurant. He was just hanging out by the bar. This would be no big deal if at least the food was good. It was not. It was bland and not authentic. They were out of chicken croquetas, the mashed potatoes in the papas rellenas tasted like the great value instant mashed potatoes I made the mistake of buying once at Walmart. It was awful and disappointing. The congri was unbelievably dry, like it was made in the periodo especial with no oil (if you're Cuban you know what I'm talking about), and the oil the congri was lacking was added multiplied by ten to the puerco asado. It was disgusting and oily. I'm not a person who leaves food on the plate but this I had to. I couldn't finish my food.
I've had better tasting pork at Golden Corral, and that's not a compliment to them, it sucks. It just had no flavor.
And on top of that, it's overpriced. If I remember correctly, we got two papas rellenas, almost bite sized, for 7 dollars? And like three croquetas for and extra 7 dollars.
I know many Cubans who came here and hated it. People who are giving this place more than two stars have never had real Cuban food. This people are making us look bad. Cuban food is delicious. This isn't it.
