My husband loved every bit of the rice, sauce, pork, and potatoes. The topping on the cause for him was the extra crispy maduros. I enjoyed the Cuban sandwich, but wanted a bit more sauciness to it (this is a me thing)! Overall I would recommend Casablanca Cuban Grill.

Love the food, the cozy vibe and friendly service! The tortilla is light, but filling and delicious. The garlic soup is the divine liquid format of garlic bread. The lamb stew is hearty. I am surprised my little picky eater kept dipping the bread into the soup and the stew. Idaho potatoes fries and coquettes def taste better in Idaho, or they just made really good fries and coquettes! If you are in Boise, this place is a must!

Nice, cozy restaurant in Basque Block area of Boise! This is my first time trying Basque style…read moretapas, which for those that have been to Spain or had tapas, is quite adjacent to Catalonian style tapas (Barcelona) but with different types of ingredients. We tried the pintxos of the day (3 for $10) - seafood and chorizo gratin, goat cheese and zucchini compote, and sardine bollo with lemon aioli; Basque meatballs with Sheepherder's bread, and braised lamb and potatoes. We also shared a frozen sangria which is a white wine slush with a splash of red wine float. All the food is amazing - the Basque meatballs is a bit on the saltier side but the Sheepherder's bread is so crispy and buttery! Among the pintxos, I loved the seafood and chorizo gratin the most, but all are delicious. The braised lamb and potatoes are good - the lamb is juicy while the potatoes were flavorful and slightly crispy. Service is good for an order at the counter style establishment - servers still walk around and check up on customers, even though the rest of the experience (filling water, etc) is more self-serve.

When they called us for the food, there was 2 plates of 2 and 1 with 3. Naturally I got the 3 and the first one I bit into was linguica. Perfect. However the next 2 were both wrong. They mixed them up on the kitchen so I got 2 I didn't want and my colleague got 2 he didn't want. He ate mine but I didn't want his so we had to buy 2 more. Wasn't a great experience They were good once I got the right ones, but not the best system for keeping them straight

I was really hoping for a 5-star experience, but not there. Co-worker said they were nominated for…read morea James Beard award, so I had to go. Turns out it was for service. I don't doubt that if you're doing dine-in service. We saw a lot of personal attention by family members spent on some of the larger tables. Ambiance was pretty cool, with a lot of Basque cultural pictures and spread over a couple seating areas with inside a larger mini-mall setup. It was a tad loud though. So we went tapas style, ordering 5 dishes and 2 desserts. Mains -Basque meatballs had great flavor within the meatball, but the gravy seemed a bit flat like a powder mix base. -Cod in Salsa Verde was a disappointment. The clams had no significant meat and the sauce was a tad bland. -Really enjoyed the Txistorra In a Blanket. The chorizo had a really nice flavorful punch and wrapped light filo. The coupled sauce had a balanced flavor with spicy kiss. -Really enjoyed the calamari strips. Not chewy with a light breading. Very fresh taste and the sauce was very good. -The Pan con Tomate with Manchego cheese were very nice. The jamon had a great cure and texture with a nice foccacia and cheese base. The tomatoes gave it a nice acidic punch. Dessert -The burnt cheesecake was a crowd pleaser. The cheesecake really let the cream cheese come through without a ton of sugar. -Tarta De Manzana was great. Firm, thinly slice green apples with an amazing crust with great body and featuring caramelized granulated sugar on the bottom. I just wish they would have put more orange marmalade on the base to bump up the aromatics. It really would have made it flavor explode.

This was a 10 out of 10 experience for my daughter. That is a huge deal since she is really…read moreparticular about her food. She got the mac and cheese empanada and it was perfectly cooked on the outside, delicious mac and cheese filling, and crunchy fries. I got gaucho empanada combo with a guava Jarritos (my favorite). The filling in my empanada was perfectly seasoned, not oily or too moist. It was just enough so it wasn't dry, but didn't make the shell soggy. For dessert ny daughter got the churros with strawberry jam and I got a guava empanada (sub cream cheese for mozzarella). Next time I'll try it with mozzarella, but I really wanted to try cream cheese/guava combo. It was so hard to decide what to get because everything looked good. Now that everything tasted so good, I need to go back. So sad that I'm only in Boise for a few days. Service was excellent - they give you a number and bring it to the table hot and fresh. There is a good amount of seating, nice ambiance, and clean restrooms.
