If I could recommend only one Cuban restaurant for the rest of my life it would be Ay Que Rico…read more OH MY GOODNESS it is delicious. Their food is out of this world tasty. Their rice is the best rice I've gotten at any Spanish restaurant. The rice was flavorful, moist and when paired with their Yuka? Forget about it, you're going to be craving this combo everyday. Their Chicken/Veggies was marinated perfectly and was served in this saucy dish boat. The Cuban? Outrageously good. They perfected the definition of a Cuban sandwich. The bread was perfectly crisp, fresh, buttery and something about me is I do not like a dry Cuban and their Cuban is far from that. I could eat that whole sandwich without a parched throat. They have a plethora of shake options but my favorite is the Sour Sop, it tastes like ice cream! But it's healthy! The pudding had terrific flavor and its texture was perfection. The interior is pleasing to the eye, it's almost picturesque. Their tables also include everything you need such as napkins, toothpicks and even has Domino's! And they offer Karaoke every Saturday from 8pm-12am. Tell me this place is not a vibe. You can't Their service is impeccable, their staff very friendly and sincere.

They were not too runny or too firm and they actually season the grits, unlike many places. I ordered the breakfast platter that lets u choose your meat. I chose fish which comes with the option of tilapia or basa. I chose the basa, which could be fried a tiny bit harder but it was still very flavor and nonetheless. The platter also comes with toast and eggs. I also ordered cafe con leche, but what they have is actually just Cuban coffee with regular cream, not steamed milk. Still great coffee tho.

Nancy K was our server and she is not only fabulous in personality, she knew her menu. All of her recs were great and she showed genuine care for us. What's also great about this place is still being able to find reasonably priced food when dining out! A family of 3 adults and child, we had apps and each an entree and our meal still came up to $78 prior to tip. The food was also delicious. I had the gumbo on my most recent visit as well as the onion rings. The gumbo was just what I needed. The onion rings are hugeeee, a bit oily but light so I didn't completely feel like an impending heart attack. Would recommend the restaurant and Nancy K.

My husband enjoys Tibby's and decided he wanted to go here for Father's Day. I made a reservation,…read morewhich indicated there could be a fee of $30 per person if you did not cancel at least 48 hours ahead. I confirmed my reservation. When we showed up and told the hostess we had a reservation, we were promptly taken to our table. However about halfway into the meal, I received an email stating my reservation was cancelled. I visited the host stand concerned we were not checked in correctly and that I would be charged $30 per person as a no-show. She revisited the reservation on their books and confirmed I was not checked in right and fixed it. Hopefully, I will not be charged. The meal was good, however it should be communicated when making a reservation that the full menu is not available. This was not communicated anywhere actually - not reservation, front desk or even upon sitting down at your table. It wasn't until I asked our server about the missing menu items that she said it was a limited menu that day. When I asked if any exception could be made, she said no. This was disappointing considering the items my husband was looking forward to were not available.

I was surprised to find that the 6-inch plain ham-and-cheese sandwich was the same price as the Cuban sandwich--$9. In my opinion, $9 for a basic 6-inch ham-and-cheese sandwich is quite expensive. When I asked about the pricing and tried to get some clarification, I felt that the staff was not willing to help. Their attitude made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Because of the way the situation was handled, I ultimately decided to return everything and leave. I understand that restaurants set their own prices, but I believe customers should be treated respectfully and given a reasonable explanation when they have questions or concerns. I'm Not saying that I was mistreated but i didn't get a reasonable explanation they way they explained to me was like the bread is $2.50 the cheese is $2.50 and the ham is $2.50 it just doesn't make sense a Cuban has pork cheese ham salami lettuce tomato pickles it just doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable returning.
